    The simplest thing is: not allow them.

    If you allow them, make sure they dont break the balance. Or 99% of all the players will say good bye to the hub - and only the 1% might stay, which are the richest players, who can tier their equipment up with unlimited funds, or just buy the high tiered gear.

    Even if an enhancer adds only 1 damage to a weapon per shot, that would be 10 additional damage per shot if the gun reaches tier 10. That already destroys all balance, and makes fair fights impossible. Not to forget, that the uber player will also have their armor tiered and their fap too. Even if the effects from the enhancers would be little, they would add up and turn those into god mode who have the tiered equip.

    If both players are of the same skill, the one without tiered equip could then NEVER win a 1vs1 against someone who uses tiered equip.

    My suggestion is, that if enhancers are allowed, only specific pk hub enhancers can be used.

    Which would not only make a weapon stronger, but also add a disadvantage to it. If an enhancer adds damage, it could make the weapon slower, or take away from the range. If an enhancer makes the weapon faster, it could reduce its damage or range.

    It would then be the task of the makers to keep it balanced.

    However, there would be alot of effects and anti-effects you could add to enhancers, letting each player put their own individual weapon together and see if it works for them.

    It would add alot of depth to the pk hub, without a doubt.

    Yours sincerely,

    No one has a tiered gun in the hub though do they? Wouldn't enhancers be grayed out like other items that are brought in from outside of the hub?

    I shot for 4 hours straight the first time I was there and did not gain 0.1 tiers on any armor/weapons...if you can tier...unless you get a gun with over 1k levels...it's going to take a LONG time to tier.

    Can thread opener tell me how much it would cost to tier those weapons? I don't think it would cost thousand of peds to tier those weapon, and it would take ages to tier up to tier 2 or 3. No big deal here.

    I think tiered equipment would be nice, Just keep the higher tiered stuff limited to the high cost hubs:beerchug:

    Tier gains in th hub are the result of many many hours of hard work and dedication to your craft, and because of the low decay the process of gaining tiers in the hub is MUCH slower than usual. And then ontop of that you have UL which gains tiers yet slower still......So all in all the regular enhancers in the hub are the result of HARD WORK and DEDICATION on UL gear ^^ If anything keep regular enhancers on UL and reduced increase versions on faster tiering (Still slow in the hub) L gear.

    Tiers, unlike plates are withing everyone grasp IF they show dedication.....and i damn well think that is fair to get those marginal gains if you worked your ass off to get them.

    Far greater threats to the hub is the kill/deaths/loot scoreboard which is what shows the best of the best. This system is at the root of the Hub, yet that system as it is right now is easily bypassed with a few buddies for tokens, rank etc....Atm i dont play for rank on there, because its pointless right now....
