igh: no realizes that the weapon itself is broken. Putting it behind a munition wall isn't gonna improve the quality of the game. Just hide its issues.
the weapon is broken but making it not as powerful (which i think would be a good idea) would require doing some rebalancing with obers which is more complicated than simply gating the broken weapon to slow down the rate it comes out at.
of course now that we've suggested gating the weapon or nerfing obers we know that relic will think up something totally different that almost kind of works but doesn't solve the issue and/or introduces other issues....
i guess an additional option would be to hard cap obers at 1, maybe 2, but relic has refused to do that with snipers, another problem unit, and so probably won't do it with obers. it would also make volks spam even more common.
