Overall we have very balanced weapons right now, but still it can be improved.
No big/huge changes will be done, but lot of small changes to see if we going to right directions.
When we see weapons in use and if outcome is not desired, we can revert changes.
Small changes can bring up new weapons to use in meta and it will increase variety of builds.

*Low AP cost, reduced weight and critical bonus added this weapon can be used in sneaks, ninja builds, fast shot spammers 1AP/shot and tb builds 2AP/shot.
*Dmg is low but vs non armored character it is still decent dmg. It is more about effect and caused chaos.
Grenade (Frag)
-Weight lowered from 453grams to 220grams
*One of the most used weapons in game, it has many uses for many types of builds for both pvp and pve. Right now 1v1 fights frag grenade are not the best, but in team support it is really amazing to cause good dmg, knockdown effect for low AP cost.

Grenade (Plasma)
-Increased dmg from 80-100 to 85-100
-Increased knockdown rate from 25% to 35%
-Weight lowered from 453grams to 220grams

*Wakizashi blade is intented to cause effects weapon drops and cripples. Added critical chance affect mostly for drops and cripples and only a bit for dmg.

*Swing attack mode increased range gives this weapon better changes to figth vs bursters
*Trust attack mode would be better if want to use knockback effect.

H&K CAWS
-Weight Increased from 2267 grams to 6300 grams.
*This weapon dmg is awesome only if you sacrified all your tankiness.
*Increased weight makes it that sneaks that love to use this weapon will be seen much easier.
*After added weight 10PE character can see sneaks in front before sneak reach into bursting range (18hex), chars like 6PE can see tham about 10hexes only in front.
*So sneaks which want to use this weapon has to aproach from behind or target blind psycho bursters, which usually can endure 3 bursts.
*Caw is not op, when its not used on sneaks.

*Versus non psycho build avg. damage would be just a bit lower (few %) than plasma rifle and vs psycho build it is lot worse. Enemies tend to have more normal resist than plasma resist.
*There is no projectile and lot lighter than plasma rifle, so those are benefits for sneaks which want to use this weapon
*Increased critical chance helps to cause cripples/weapon drops and it increase dmg on other body parts than eyes.

Improved Flamer
-Range Increased from 7 to 9
*Not used too much in current meta
*7 Range was not enought to beat burster, since burster was able to get into 1hex while flamer animation was going on.
Vindicator Minigun
-Range Increased from 30 to 35
*This would match up with avenger and lsw range.
*Also this weapon is not used that much in current meta compared to bozar and gatling (40range), so range increase could make it bit more useful.

*Ideal antisneak weapon, because low weight and enought dmg to kill unarmored enemies in 2 shots.
*Also no ammo to carry = less weight for sneaks.
Pulse Pistol
-Range increased from 18 to 26
-Base Critical Chance bonus added +5
*Just to make it more usable for psycho users (they have 26fov)

- Dmg changed from 30-65 to 45-60
*Dmg will be more constant. Same avg dmg for eyes as before, but more dmg on other body parts.
*Removed roll = less KO and less very high end dmg.
*Added critical chance increase fast shot builds dmg output and to cause more cripple/weapon drops and knockdowns. This also increase the chance of intented effects.
*Tesla armor would get it uses, because most dmg is not bypass (less roll) so it can be resisted more easily.

*To make it usable as middle range as we already have alienblaster (26range) and TurboPlasmaRifle (40range)
Ammo5mm JHP
