Halberd and Sandstorm balance changes as outlined above are now in game!
Edit: Oh man you guys are going to love the Sandstorm now. It feels amazing.

Played a Gold Kett mission with the Sandstorm. It feels more like the Saber from ME3MP. Much slower rate of fire but packs a bigger punch. Was popping heads left and right with a Sandstorm Concussive. Very nice.

The Saber is exactly what I was going for. Semi-autos have returned.

Is the Halberd any good now? Good but not OP. It feels like a Mattock that you can bring to gold as a primary weapon. I would still hesitate to bring it to platinum on a weapons platform though. |

I was wondering why earlier there was so many players equipped with Halbards.  So PAW is now more powerful? Need to go check.  |

Always felt a bit too weak for a UR. |

Always felt a bit too weak for a UR. It's pinpoint accurate, has negligible recoil, and primes almost instantly. Damage is a bit low for a UR, but it'd be stupid OP if that weren't the case due to its other attributes. |

Just played a game with Halberd and Sandstorm
On scale of 1-10 based on changes. With 1 being barely silver viable and 10 being somewhat platinum viable.
Old halberd

New halberd

Feels a bit "lighter" not sure how to put that into words more accurately. Its not a terrible weapon, but its not something I feel is an assault rifle at all. Its very accurate and I felt like I was playing my bass after about 5 minutes with finger fatigue. But thats not really a good thing because I don't feel like I was dropping enough to justify real life effort.
Old Sandstorm
1
New Sandstorm

This weapon was complete utter garbage before. Now it does pack some weight in each bullet, personally I can't for the life of me stand hitting the trigger and it not being on refire mark so nothing happens. 1s click fires next 3-4 nothing and on 5 fires and so on all game. Just not my cake. Performance wise though, I guess its a solid enough weapon to be called a gold weapon.
I appreciate the overall, but I'd have rather had headshot mods for the sandstorm or more force added (can't really tell) and for halberd I think 50 more damage or actuall shield/armor mods would have been a better fit.
Also, I hope this isn't the only path taken to pacify the remaining followers. It was just a damage buff. The performance of most of the weapons is the issue, not damage. Just played with the valkirie as well, the gun if fucking magnificent, but its not 500 RoF with w/e is blocking burst weapons refire.

Big thanks to The Joe-Man for teeing this up and then making it happen, despite the lethargic nature of the game operator!
Seriously, Awesome Job!

Now I'm worried. I'm going to be selfish and say, "I hope they don't touch the recoil on the Hurricane." I completely understand the theory. But in practice, managing recoil on console is a major chore.

So is this is it? Just sandstorm and halberd..... sorry if I sound impatient but its been a LONG time and not enough progress, I'm expecting at least a new set up updated weapons every week, or tue/thurs at the most. Just to add more to the suggestions Venom•Tighten the spread on exploding mini clusters from charged grenades or •Increase cluster damage from 0.67 to 0.90+ or •Lower number of non-charged shots required to prime base red bar to 2 (making full charged instant prime with 2 cluster hits) or •Add large shield mod damage Things venom needs, at least one of these no matter what•Adjust charge time required for full charge/ Increase base RoF •Increased force to instantly stagger enemies (like the dhan) •Decreased weight Reegar Carbine•Increase shield mod from 1.15 to 1.40+ (It shoots lighting and gets the same shield damage mod as bullet weapons....  ) Lower damage vs Armor by same amount. •Increase RoF 525-545 Lanat•Reload time from 2.75-2.25 Isharay•Reload time from 2.75 to 2 Sidewinder•Increase damage per bullet from 200 to 450 •Drastically increase recoil penalty! (should only be able to get one shot off without having to readjust aim, kick like a mule!) Falcon•Increase damage per shot to 750-800 range, no reason to use this over a scorpion at the moment. •Increase explosive range to 6.5m if damage remains so low Now I'm worried. I'm going to be selfish and say, "I hope they don't touch the recoil on the Hurricane." I completely understand the theory. But in practice, managing recoil on console is a major chore. More than any other change in the game I hope the recoil the fuck out of the hurricane! Recoil so dam hard you end up shooting yourself because the gun flips in your hand! |

You leave my Hurricane alone. : ( I all seriousness, reducing reload time for the Isharay would be great. But all "long" reloads should be reduced to ME3 reload cancel levels.

More like shot past Phebs head, ricocheted off the ground and shot Ryder in the face. But this is close. ....So I guess thats it for balancing. Or does someone have to twitter all this to a dev? |

) Lower damage vs Armor by same amount.
