Happy to help! I generally test everything with all specs running, as I've found it's a good indicator for how rare stuff will be on less insane/more practical setups, too.

I noticed the CPU Expert and Drone Protocol updates, and they definitely helped! Would still say they're pretty common though, as the numbers in my previous reply were post-update. (the vanilla secondaries range from 6.05% to 4.41%, so having two specs that both cover GREMLINs right below those adds up)

For what it's worth, the above is also visible in CountSpecWeapons: GREMLINs are by far the most common non-infinite secondary now, appearing in roughly a 4th of all classes (2071/8570) with everything active.

As for Saboteur, it's currently sitting at the top of the tertiaries list with its rarity of 8.12%, while Sentinel is at 6.18%. That's a difference of 166 valid classes, which does feel a little too spicy. (especially with how Stukov's exclusions already push up the vanilla specs a ton)

@XpanD I just updated CPU Expert and Drone Protocol yesterday with missing tertiary exclusions so hopefully that helped. Saboteur was meant to be as common as Sentinel is for gun users, so I chose to make primary melee users excluded to help balance it out. But if someone is playing with ALL specs, then it may seem unbalance. But, to be fair, any soldier can throw a grenade so the spec is quite useful. Thanks for letting me know as I'm still new to Amalgamation and can use all the help I can get and the feedback that I'm receiving is useful in tweaking exclusions.

Is Saboteur meant to be *incredibly* common? Running all the specs on the workshop (and one that'll be out soon), it's showing up more often than even the built-in specs at a whopping 8.12% of all tertiaries. CPU Expert and Drone Protocol are also quite common still (both the same, 3.95% of all secondaries), but not sure what the target rarity for those is.

(all checked with CountSpecs in-game)
