~HEAR ME OUT~
since embark doesnt want to buff the sniper. but it actually needs a buff bc its the worst light weapon rn,
here it comesā¦
MAKE THE TRACKINGDART DEAL 40 DAMAGE PER HIT
similar to double pump in fortnite, you will be able to finish the kill with the dart on light, heavy and medium.
but why 40 damage?
if we want to we could headshot a heavy, have 0 bullets left and instead of reloading we could finish with 3 darts, or we can hit a medium with our last bullet, hit 3 tracking darts and finish of with quick melee.
the tracking dart got buffed last season but still hasnt made it even close to be meta, since this buff would not only synergize with the sniper i think this would be THE PERFECT CHANGE to bring tracking dart in the meta
Suggestions for alternative Sniper buffs
(since the previously intended damage buff would probably fk up casual.)
-
firerate buff (its really slow rn)
-
120 dmg per shot to 3 shot heavies
-
accuracy buff while in air, hipfiring, and overall less wobble (which should already have been the case with the visual recoil change)
my opinion:
being able to kill mediums with 2 body shots is way stronger than being able to one shot headshot them. i know there were numerous people crying over a potential sniper buff pre season (actually just a few who were very loud), but hitting a sniper headshot in up to 30 meters range on a target being aware of you is insanely hard. if they are aware, they should always be able to force the sniper to close distance or do it themselves.
but again, casuals wont care about true balance anyways. they just care about annoyance
considering that the bow is better than the sniper in ever way (reload, damage, hipfire accuracy, adjustable firerate, no delay when zooming inā¦) i think it should be time to either, buff the sniper to a good amount, or nerf every other good weapon in the game since there are LEVELS between the rifle and everything else. (which isnt realistic)
pls do something
