Why does BSG keep adding new super expensive guns with worse stats than the basic guns that were already in the game?

Discussion

TX-15, T-5000, SR-25, MP9... like... why would anyone run these other than perceived "cool factor"???

They all cost more, and their stats suck (almost universally worse across the board) compared to the cheap comparable guns that they're ostensibly to serve as an upgraded, next-tier option to.

I really hope they consider buffing the ergo/recoil/accuracy stats on these new guns, making the "old guns" worse, or adjusting costs on both... something :(

Well this is stupid. Do you want them to just add better guns than meta every time? Prices are only high because they're new. Complaining about new guns is fucking dumb

Why is an iPhone twice the cost of other comparable phones?

Not everything is priced based on its stats.

The TX is my current favorite gun. 55A1 is cheap and effective; and the amount of money you would put into an adar to reach the stats of a TX would be way more than the TX price.

Never thought of that. Might try it out.

To add variety. More player choice.

How dumb would it be if every caliber had one weapon to go with it, any sort of uniqueness would fade very quickly.

Yeah the MDR 7.62 NATO is gonna kick like a horse.
Yeah the ORION T5000 is going to perform the same as a DVL
Yeah the MP9 is basically just an MPX
Yeah the SR 25 is basically the same as the SASS or or semi-auto FAL.

Is any of that gonna stop me from using them? Hell no.
Sure, the stats might be worse, but not everyone plays just to use the best weapon there is and nothing else. There's a lot of players who just use the guns they like visually/audio-wise.

Also the performance of the guns is set - at least to a degree - on real life. Is the KAC going to stop making their guns simply because someone else made a better one? Hardly.

TX-15 stats are way better than ADAR stats. If you wanted to get an adar to similar stats you'd spend way more than the price of the tx

I like it because I find them in marked rooms and there fun to use if never buy one but when I find one kill somebody with one they are pretty cool

The cost of some guns is higher because they wouldn't be as common in this region, and would cost more. Not everything has to be about stats, I only run guns I think look cool.

Aesthetic over function

I'm excited about the Sr25, what's wrong with it stat wise?

There's nothing wrong with it per se, just not really much reason I can see to use it over the RSASS for example, as that can be modded better and is around the same price iirc. Might be missing something. It looks cool, though, so that's good enough for most people haha

Last time I checked the RSASS was for $1800 USD on flea market, thats quite a difference in price.

At peacekeeper Sr is 1080, RSASS is 1258. Sr isn't locked behind quests so that's something on top of the price difference.
