Associate live balance designer John Larson informed fans on November 13 in a tweet that Respawn was aware of their complaints. Larson’s remarks were in response to a player who tweeted that “nobody cares about P20, bocek, or 3030.”
Larson took to Twitter to defend the less often used firearms.
You take that back. I care about the Bocek.
We got stuff in mind. We know we can’t keep releasing weapons without considering the health of the loot pool
