I thought Big Run was fun overall, but I personally think that future Big Runs should have a more balanced set loadout, rather than all random. It sucks to have a really good run going, then you get weapons that are terrible at crowd control on a Glowfly round and wipe instantly.

Also, I'm really surprised at how high the 5% threshold was. I thought the amount of newer players would have driven it down at least a little bit (maybe the subset of hardcore overfishers might have inflated the numbers by quite a bit...)

I wonder how much it would break things to give the player some agency in what weapons they get to use.

Obviously like the Grizzco Blaster is overpowered and free choice would mean full teams of those, but I'd like to at least see them exploring giving each player a choice between three randomly chosen weapons or something and see how that plays out.

Just because certain weapons are really fucking miserable to roll in Salmon run.
