My point is.. if ALL of those weapons are for medium to short range (which also includes, pistol, mauler, shotgun, plasma pistol, needler, sword, smg, spikers, assault rifle, and plenty others) then wouldnt you think at some point they wouldve said.. "Wow we have 15 medium to short range weapons, we cant make another one or it will be too redundant."?!
Mauler & Sword don't work well at medium range, they work exceptionally well at close range. SMGs, Spikers and Assault Rifles work from medium (with skill and finesse) to close range. But they lose overwhelmingly to things such as the Mauler and Sword at close range.
Their ranges overlap but they aren't good for the entire range that they can work at. The overlap is there so that you aren't completely out in the cold.
Our current Medium-to-Short Range weapons include: SMG, Plasma Rifle, Spiker, AR, Brute Shot, and Needler. Half of those are for dual wielding.
It doesnt make any sense to say that a brand new weapon that is literally nothing at all like any other weapon that is, or has EVER been in the game, redundant.
Having a rifle that shoots small explosive "sticky" rounds at a long distance is literally nothing close to redundant. Im sorry.
It is redundant. I'm sorry.
