Modelling Weapon Balance in Code? (Destiny)

by dogcow , Hiding from Bob, in the vent core., Thursday, June 04, 2015, 21:13 (3463 days ago) @ Revenant1988

I wonder what kind of weapon balance test tools Bungie has. I think it'd be fun to code up a little tool that would take a range & a "skill" (accuracy?) parameter (maybe some others) and iterate through all their weapons & various perks & output the average TTK for each weapon at that range. You could even geek out with graphs of the data & various TTK's at various ranges...
