Loot drops to your ego level?

The exact stats may change, but I sincerely doubt that they would change the entire progression system of the game.

You haven't even seen the ''entire progression system of the game'', the beta just had sort of a place holder stats on weapons. That will most likely change, as already been stated the beta weapons/stats do not represent what they will be in the actual game.

The beta was just for server testing, getting rid of any leftover bugs that may of missed etc. They didn't need to put the actual stats on weapons or the correct stats on higher level weapons or to turn the loot on properly etc. Maybe the biggest impact on weapons will be your EGO grid/perks/weapon skill level and the weapons themselves don't sky rocket in damage, but as far as I know it hasn't been clearly stated how it will be.

If you saw the Alpha Weekend Streams, you'd see that nothing has changed in that regard. Beta might be a few iterations back but you're fooling yourself if you think that much has changed. The stats are accurate and beta is a fair representation of the release candidate.

EDIT: Some Weapon Modifications do increase the damage of your weapon not only adding effects but also raising the damage (both MIN, MAX, and Falloff) of it.
