Okay so everyone who’s played this game has heard of or played against release Blackbeard and the absolute menace he was to anyone he came across back then, but now he is less than a shadow of his former self his guns and gadget have no redeeming qualities to warrant playing him so I have a few buff suggestions (I was very careful when thinking about his shield)

• Mk17 CQB now does 47 damage (from 40)
• Mk17 CQB ROF is now 620 (from 585)
• Mk17 CQB horizontal recoil reduced
• Mk17 CQB now has access to 2.5x scope
• SR-25 now does 65 damage (from 61)

These changes to Blackbeards Mk17 CQB and SR-25 should make it so his gun stands more of a chance in a one on one encounter with or without his shield.

These next changes are designed to make his shield more viable and add more survivability to Blackbeard while also rewarding the defending side for actively shooting his shield as well

-Blackbeard’s Rifle shield no longer breaks but now shatters after receiving 3 hits or a single 40 damage shot, completely blinding Blackbeards view but not leaving him vulnerable to a headshot. - Rifle shield no longer gives a movement penalty or ads penalty - Blackbeard now makes more distinctive audio while is rifle shield is equipped - Rifle Shield has been made more compact ensuring purely safety of headshots from the front but not the upper torso

Give me feedback on what you guys think
