It passes up the old damage it used to be in PVE and even in PVP. It is now back to 3 headshot kills and 4 body kills , 3 body shot kills with crowd control. In PVE its damage used to be this. 465 base, 515 with CC buff. NOW, it is 548 base, 601 with CC buff. This is in VoG at level 30. So in normal VoG 28-29 will hit for the same hits due to no level gap. The thing is a beast now. The only downside is you cant have 56 in a mag now. which is fine to be honest. 35 is more than enough and hardly noticeable
