Other issue we are not considering is SKILL. Yes it is way easier to just spam, therefore Schleuder FEELS OP but just get it, try it and you will se how is not a 10/10 weapon I would give it a 7 in that scale.
Is much more frightening to face a seasoned harec. Almost non existing stress (with aura mortis it doesnt even reveal where he is while he shoots). It can actually one shot people from ANY angle. Teletransportation which can be used for attack and sort of defense. Munnition wise is much more effective. Can shoot people while airborne rather easy. Just go and shoot down an Alicia or a Hans with Scheluder and then with any Harec rifle, you can even one hit a Hans in flight quite easily it doesnt even need to be a headshot. On the other hand with schleuder its quite hard.
Whenever you get one or two hits he is still at half health right in front of you. 5th council doesnt reduce melee damage, she gets an initial blow and then its almost over for her yeah you can guess his next move but is quite 50/50. I have seen lots of Ginebras getting owned in cqc by Hans that way. If there is a cheeselord in this game is Hans.
Yes, Schleuder could be considered a solid 8 in a decent player hands. But take in consideration that it takes a while to unlock Ginebra and then the weapon. There is no skill ceiling is just one pony trick. On the other hand default Harec sucks for beginners I give you that BUT once you understand the game it is a freaking nightmare. I still have virtual PTSD from an anta Harec on Breath of Hope. That unlimited range he had while sticking to the ceiling! It was just a freaking Vasiilli Zaitsev on aleph, dropping bodies left and right (and that gesture in which he bows in a very arrogant "nice try n00bs" kind of way, seals the deal). That default weapon can become a 20+ it has POTENTIAL, scheluder its good in general but has lots of issues, just as Ginebra.
With her weapons the noise is just a dead giveaway (slow travel, avoidable, not one hit kills most of the time) With Harec you only see the trace of the bullet and your aleph deprived corpse next to it. Yes I get the point that it feels cheap, but she's quite limited strategy wise. Hans is 10 times cheaper and you know it mate, he has cheesed us hard.
Ginebra is annoying to get but very few times I have seen her scoring actual vital maneuvers. Is nice to have it against antagonist as she can hide and seek while Aleph resets but she doesnt win games single handedly...on the other hand those Hans with zero skill...well...
BTW with new level up system (I know is not applicable per se, nor a solution and its going to give nightmares to the balance team with upcoming builds) face an Alicia say around 80 with a Ginebra in 40 is not even funny, Ginebra feels like a local in that match up. Yeah its grindy and its not ideal by far but its another way you can get around some "bad" match ups.
