As everyone knows, Blackbeard is in… a state. His whole life he’s either been op or underpowered. So I came up with a rework that might be plausible. First off, scrap his mk17. It sucks, everyone knows. Give him a mk16 (pretty much the same gun, but you get 30 rounds and higher rate of fire with lower damage per shot) as a replacement. As for his gadget, I’m quite a fan of underbarrel grenade launchers, so I think they could attach an EGLM to it, and give him 2 separate ammunition types for it. Incendiary (or explosive, either or) and toxic smoke grenades. This way, he can provide area denial
