8.Information on TM8 Gallop Performance Data Analysis
We are sharing the results of our internal review regarding the item in question, following up on our previous communication.
We have conducted an internal data analysis and balance review of the TM8 Gallop firearm based on recent feedback from players. Here are the results:
Data Analysis and Review Results
Comparison Data Review: We compared and analyzed combat performance metrics against other 5.56mm "Ultimate" series firearms of the same type.
Increased Proficiency and Impact: We confirmed that as players' proficiency with the weapon increased—including the use of its grenade option—its impact in actual combat naturally rose as well.
Alignment with Design Intent: Actual usage rates and performance metrics accumulated since launch have remained stable within the performance parameters originally envisioned by our team.
Balance Adjustment Direction (No Adjustments Planned)
Decision to Maintain Performance: As the analysis revealed no factors causing critical in-game imbalance, we have decided not to make any specific performance adjustments to the TM8 Gallop at this time.
Immediately buffing firepower or lethality—given the weapon's already high ease of aiming—could risk disrupting weapon balance and causing an excessive shift in player preference toward this specific firearm.
Adjustment Criteria: While our development team promptly addresses clear balance issues that significantly impact the combat environment, we have determined that this item does not fall into that category.
Future Monitoring Plan
A firearm's value and performance evolve continuously based on player proficiency and shifts in the game's meta.
We plan to continue tracking and accumulating data for a more precise assessment and remain open to re-evaluating the weapon should any anomalous metrics appear in the future.
Sincerely,
Your AVA Operations Team
