>Why are they fucking around with the weapon sling?
They want Assault to the dedicated farming class and being "tip of the spear" without any utilities unlike the other classes so they gave the class the option to carry 3 guns.
It's kinda similar to how Assault in BF1 was supposed to be the 'shock trooper' class via constantly pushing objectives and being close to the enemies with his SMGs, but at least Assault in that game had a form of utility by making him the anti-vehicle class with the rocket gun, dynamite and AT grenade.
