Q: But what does a balancing pass entail, and how are you conducting it?

Our design team led by our Chief Creative Officer, Johan Pilestedt, analyzes player feedback, internal and external playtests, gameplay data, and the original design goals for each weapon and stratagem. This process allows us to identify discrepancies—such as weapons that are underperforming or overperforming—and make precise adjustments.

God fucking dammit. They still have not learned their lesson. People do not want nerfs to whatever they deem are "overperforming" weapons.
