Through Community Feedback and Player Data, we see that last month's VHX-D3 Balance Change has proven to be healthy.
The usage rate and kill percentile had been reduced by about 3-4%. However, the weapon's performance is still above expectations by 4-5% compared to its counterparts such as the GEW-46.
It's our intention to gradually bring certain outlier weaponry back into line with those of similar performance.
Below is a visualized graph of the upcoming changes.

Keep your eyes peeled for confirmation of this rollout closer to the time.
This is a Backend Update and will not require a Game Client Download. Though it may require you to join a new server to pick up this change.
Thank you for your continued feedback!
