maybe it's because i'm sitting on 4 SSR (Ares, Acala, Svarog, and Dakki), or because I haven't gotten a fire defender yet (outside of Dakki's dual weapon)... but my fire team already has the tools to get to the recommended Assault values without SR weapons...

not really sure if Fire is lacking, but we did get a nice handful of them in the past compared to light... which is just now catching up to fire (i honestly feel like Thunder got the short end right now)

now if you're a newer player, this changes entirely...
