Nerf the Kraber!

I'm unsure about the Kraber balance. It's the only sniper which is properly worth using. Sentinel can be conditionally good when you pair it's amplified shot with an amped cover of Rampart. But in any other case a precision shot doesn't pay off. With the Kraber, I at least feel like I'm being rewarded when doing a headshot. A feeling I rarely get with any other sniper in the game.

On the other hand, being instantly downed after getting fully equipped feels like a kick in the guts.

My suggestion: A headshot deals fixed 200 damage. A fully healed up red evo-shield person regardless of profile would survive the shot but is severely crippled. Any other case is an insta-kill.

That's part of the reason why it will never be out of the Care Package. The Kraber is supposed to be a god-tier weapon in the hands of a good sniper, and is meant to be feared. However, with the bullet drop, the reload time, and the time you have to take in between each shot is a way to balance out the insta-kill headshots.

Yes, the idea of an insta-kill weapon is not fair and OP, but if you think about it, almost every game with multiple kinds of weapons has weapon that can one-shot nearly anything. In Apex, it's perfectly represented in the Kraber. I'd say the only think that the Kraber needs as a nerf would either be a slow down on reload, or for it to be even more rare than other Care Package weapons. Personally, I think it's hilarious when I get shot with a Kraber, since it's so sudden. But even then, it's satisfying to land that headshot.

@TheApexLegendNub To be honest no one needs that. There should be one sniper like this in game. I have more issues with spitfire than Kraber. Kraber is fine it do not need any changes.
