It doesn't sound a like a good idea if the weapon is equipped like a secondary
First, if they released it, EA would make it a $10 DLC, and if they add new maps, people will instantly copy them on the editor and play them on their dedicated servers, then EA would remove dedicated server support/ mp map modding
second, it will happen exactly the same as the FY71, people who svck at this game will use it and think they have "skill" just because they are using overpowered weapons, and what's even worse, is that with this bought weapons they still get owned.
third, same as the FY71, if you are seem wielding one, people will just go and stealth kill you
also, if you are trying to fry ltag spammers, what makes you think they'll don't change to the swarmer too and spam it even more, making crash site games unplayable
also snipers, since all weapons except for shotguns are very accurate, even the feline, you can easily take down an average snipers, only if you have trouble aiming, or don't know how to avoid snipers then you should need an overpowered $10 weapon to take them out
and even worse, if you plan to kill the "leet" users, they will just probably stealth kill you, take your swarmer...
and swarmer + 1337 skills = 100:0 KDR
i saw a leet guys at a crash site game with the FY71 and he got over 80 kills!, he wasn't hacking either, he just ran around, 2 bullets and you died, he only died like 6 times, 4 of them by shotguns from some other leet guy and 2 lucky scar kills, he called like 3 ceph gunships
however, the swarmer would work as a turret weapon, obviously nerfed because the SP one is overpowered
in fact, i believe some modders are putting it in the in the next version of Steel mill map
