Autosniper is an automtatic gun that can kill with two shots to the head. Making it slightly OP.

#

Hunting Rifle is an automatic gun that can kill with two shots to the head

#

and it shoots faster than the Auto Sniper

#

how would you describe the power difference between them?

quiet rune
iron copper
#

you need to explain why they need a nerf then

#

let's bump it up more

#

the SMG kills in three head shots

#

but shoots much much much faster

quiet rune
#

While those two can

iron copper
#

it can kill

#

just slowly

#

so ok, we've gotten somewhere

#

Hunting Rifle drops off from 200m - 400m btw

#

but the SMG as an example is better than those

#

but only in closer ranges

#

so... things like the Auto Sniper are only good if you are at long range

#

why is that OP?

quiet rune
iron copper
#

so a lesser skilled player can shoot lots

#

miss a lot

#

and get a chance to land shots on you

#

when they may not have otherwise been able to hit you at all

#

basically... the lesser skilled player is only hitting you because of the Auto Sniper

iron copper
#

and then if a "pro" fights you

#

you're already dead

#

and it doesn't even have to be the Auto Sniper

#

it could be regular Sniper Rifle

#

I think that's a case of considering where you walk, where you leave yourself open

#

and keeping an eye out for enemies

quiet rune
#

For me I use the sniper because of more experience, the existence of auto sniper makes me feel like someone without experience could do just as well

#

easier handling

iron copper
#

do you use it because of that though

#

or do you not use Auto Sniper cause you actually do worse with it

#

cause you have to land two hits, not one hit

#

and that gives time for players to take cover if you mess up

quiet rune
iron copper
#

2.5 RPS

quiet rune
iron copper
#

in other words... you find that the Sniper Rifle is a better weapon

iron copper
#

and so... the worse weapon should be nerfed?

#

again, I think this is more about accessibility and player skill

#

the weapon is likely fine

#

in your perspective

#

but you're thinking it's the weapon when you don't ACTUALLY believe it's the weapon

#

it's more of a case that you're seeing a lot of damage you take being from players using it

quiet rune
iron copper
#

how does it defeat the purpose though

#

you just said you use sniper because you think it's better

#

wouldn't that mean the auto sniper has no purpose by that line of logic?

quiet rune
#

but

iron copper
#

because you follow up with the .50 cal comment... something where with a scope a better weapon actually gets in the way

#

ok

#

so

#

what about SCAR

#

training rifle

#

weaker than AR and AK

#

has more rounds

#

less recoil

#

and is a laser if you stand still

#

less experienced players can do alright with it

#

does that mean SCAR is OP?

quiet rune
#

there is a video

#

with the exact same name

iron copper
#

that proves nothing

quiet rune
iron copper
#

I'm gonna go make a video

#

"Knife is OP"

#

doesn't mean it is

#

but I made a video

quiet rune
quiet rune
iron copper
#

so what do you think then

#

is SCAR OP?

quiet rune
iron copper
#

even though new players can perform well with it?

quiet rune
#

Actually, wait, consider the word OP, how do you define OP, what is meant by saying something is OP

iron copper
#

OP means overpowered

#

it means it is unfairly balanced in a direction that makes it much too strong

#

generally used to emphasise when something is MUCH stronger than it should be

#

a.k.a. broken

quiet rune
#

why would you need a gun like the autosniper that performs almost as well as a sniper

#

what is the purpose of having such a gun

iron copper
#

why would you need AK, AR, SCAR, Mutant that performs nearly the same as each other

iron copper
#

then if that's your answer, you answered yourself

#

I always saw the Hunting rifle as some kind of sniper training

odd lotus
#

Should have more recoil

#

*HR pretty lackluster as a sniper trainer

quiet rune
odd lotus
#

But now its been completely replaced anyways lol

#

HR is a MR trainer kek_cry

robust urchin
#

Vice versa imo

quiet rune
odd lotus
# robust urchin Vice versa imo

Eh. No reason to use the slower DMR with the same recoil over the "not a 7 hs kill against a sniper"

HR is easier to use in terms of RPS. Trains you to keep DMRs on target before you use the faster firing big boy

robust urchin
#

Damage drop is atrocious though

#

It's essentially a pistol at longer ranges lol

quiet rune
odd lotus
#

HR is a 7hs kill at min ennit

robust urchin
#

Erm...no

#

HR is 2-4 hs

odd lotus
#

4hs at minimum?

robust urchin
#

MR drops to nearly nothing when you get to longer ranges

#

No

odd lotus
robust urchin
#

2 headshots

#

Drops down to 4

odd lotus
#

So at its minimum possible damage 4 hs.

#

So min 4hs kill

robust urchin
#

That's base damage

#

190 per headshot, dropping down to 95 at 400

odd lotus
#

So what is the MR at 400m like

#

Oh yeah still 95

#

Thought that graph started at 0 lol

robust urchin
#

MR is a firmly midrange platform

#

HR is a lot more flexible

odd lotus
#

So its max is like 500 on the MR give or take

#

Wonder what the accuracy difference is if there is one 🤔

robust urchin
# robust urchin HR is a lot more flexible

Mount a 2x and a grip on it, you've got a spectacular close-range weapon. 6x and a compensator and you can still reach out and touch while doing good amounts of damage

#

Plus the fire rate (and the fact that it's automatic)

odd lotus
#

Even if more controllable e.t.c

robust urchin
#

Don't remember off the top of my head

odd lotus
#

Cause HR long range is like 50/50

robust urchin
#

Plus I haven't been able to play this event (nor the new weapons) so take my analysis with a grain of salt until I get a chance to play around with them lol

Rifle fast DMR go "PTFssshhhaaaa"

#

A lot of AS complaints seem to come down to players not liking lower skilled players actually having a way to sometimes hit or kill them at sniper distance.

odd lotus
#

The feeling that its a low skill crutch weapon

#

And perhaps that feeling isn't entirely wrong...

inner ivy
#

"low skill crutch weapon"
Sounds like a fancy way of saying they don't like low skilled players to have any kind of chance.

odd lotus
#

By design it is a crutch.

#

That you cannot argue with

inner ivy
#

I don't agree with your claim that they can near match the ability of a skilled player with a lot greater ease.

#

I think it simply gives them some reach where they had none before.

#

The real OP menace in the game is the sniper rifle.

#

I'd take out both the sniper and the AS...but with the sniper being there, I'm all for the current version of the AS existing with it.

odd lotus
#

As per usual

#

In a duel? Sniper. CqC? Sniper. Mid to long range? Sniper

#

But low skilled camping? AS.

inner ivy
#

I have honestly never experienced a problem with low skilled AS users.

#

Not saying it doesn't happen, but I have a hard time imagining it is a frequent or big problem...but I avoid a lot of map/mode combinations I don't like, so...

#

...and if it is happening more in those contexts, I'd probably be more inclined to blame the map.
