Rashere says:

• Charge Blade skills would be fun to do, but not a priority.
• Recoil rolls on Sawed-Off Shotguns using the new bonus system would need to be replaced with another useful bonus.
• Pellet number would be hard to balance, maybe replace it with Falloff Damage
• He will swap Accuracy bonuses to be a percentage instead of a fixed amount, similar to Mag bonuses
• There is a problem with Stalker synergy range not being applied
• The rate of people being kicked by group leaders in co-ops spiked after the change as people had fun abusing it, then went back to the normal rate.
