As the title says, I’m just so done with how absurdly overpowered MGs are, especially the FN Minimi. In game, this thing turns into a laser beam when you use the bipod zero recoil, zero challenge. It’s honestly laughable.

Would it kill you guys to at least tone down the Minimi's fire rate to something reasonable, like 800 to 850 RPM? You know... like literally every other milsim out there?

Is no one going to admit how busted this is? This is exactly why I switched to Squad they actually realized how stupid this Boomer Kit is. It’s perfect for players who want to mow down everything without any skill, as long as they’re completely detached from both casual shooters like CoD and real milsims.

This weapon doesn’t fit into either category it’s just its own brand of nonsense.

Surprisingly enough, that's not as simple as you might think. This post explains it.

The Minimi can fire at 800 RPM in real life, the closest fire rate for Minimi variants that PR can do is 900 RPM, and that's where it's at.



If the Devs were to lower it, they'd have to go down to 600 RPM, which would make it too slow (that's the same firing rate as the M240 in PR).

So here, I managed to change the RPM of this Boomer gun to 100 RPM. The audio and animation are still around 900 RPM, but the actual rate of fire has been reduced significantly. I’m not sure if it’s exactly 100 RPM or slightly higher, but it’s definitely not 900 RPM. I’m not trying to be a smartass here, but this setup works well for me when playing against bots In offline mode.

Well, yes.

And if you bothered to read the link I posted, 100 RPM is one of the values that's allowed. But that's not what you asked for, is it? You said you wanted a more realistic firing rate, and considering that the FN Minimi fires at around 800 RPM in real life (which is also the number you mentioned in your first post), 900 is the closest that PR can have it, realistically.
