What's wrong with the guns now? I've been having tons of fun in my 2-person squad. Haven't noticed any issues with the game and it plays fine on my Steam Deck

I am highly doubtful the game runs well on a Steam Deck in any mission difficulty above 5. It doesn't even run well on my gaming rig and frequently dips below 40fps at 1080p in Diff 10 missions. And my hardware vastly outclasses a Steam Deck.

Anyway, the guns had ergonomics nerfed before we got weapon customization. Ergonomics effects how much "lag" the gun has compared to where you are aiming. Worse ergonomics means you have to wait longer for the gun to snap to where you aim before the gun is pointing where your camera is. Weapon customization was added with options to improve ergonomics. Compare the HMG with 0 Ergo (worst in the game BTW) and the Verdict with 100 Ergo (best in the game). Aim each and watch where your circle reticle is.

About 4 months ago, the developers "nerfed" ergonomics on DMRs and other long rifles, including the Anti Materiel Rifle, Adjudicator, and Diligence Counter Sniper. Now, this was acknowledged by Arrowhead at one point as a "bug," but it was never added to the Known Bug List. It is still present in the game, and has zero priority of being fixed. The way they are treating it, it may as well be an intentional nerf, and I consider it as such. They know about it, and have absolutely no intention of fixing it any time soon.
