I agree Furior but i think it would be better to nerf Gauss rifle requirement to equilibrate with Pulse so making both weapon harder to use and not easy.
it would force players to make new characters just for rare weapons, it was impossible to reach 95% hit into eyes on max range with pulse without at least 5 st, 10 pe, sharpshooter and 300 skill, all other sniper weapons have long range weapon perk, it wouldnt be even worth using when you have to sacrifice 6546545 special points, mby also perk/skills to be even able to hit something
pulse rifle is not even that OP, lets compare pulse rifle with laser rifle +10% min dmg and +20% max dmg bonuses
pulse rifle 54-78
laser rifle 50-60 (50*1,1=55, 60*1,2=72), with bonuses 55-72
its almost same damage and laser rifle have also long range weapon perk
combat helmet elec res : 30, laser : 35, almost same..
its just a little bit better then other weapons with bonuses.. its shouldnt have superhigh requirements
it wouldnt be even worth to use with superhigh requirements
