Why is no one talking about the Triple Take?

The buffs to it are just amazing and you don't need a choke anymore! Then there is the increased ammo on snipers. I'm not sure that was necessary but it does come in handy for those really long snipe off rounds that involve multiple squads and lots of shooting.

    @DarthValtrex IMO it needed buffed. When you have guns like charge rifle with 100% accuracy with no drop down or raise a counter was needed. Longbow as well with the hop is quite fast shooting sniper. I think triple take is in a great spot right not when compared to other snipers. The damage imo should be lowered a bit cause no gun with no attachments should nail 120 + damage from the start.

    Im more concerned about the kraber and how it can now 1 shot players to knocked. These hp changes took sniping to become a meta this season for how easily someone is to be killed.

    @E9ine_AC I suppose the Kraber can 1 shot knock people if they have white armor. But most rounds the Kraber is not in game until people have at least blue armor. If you drop to a slow side of the map and get no action you can upgrade the armor with crafting materials. But it is something to consider.. Perhaps body shots do 124? but headshots still hit for 300?

    @DarthValtrex Nah with these hp changes i was literally 1 shot with gold armor full health. Purple armor as well. Red as well. Head shot is 465 damage. If you even missing 1 bubble of that red you are 1 shot material. The armor changes and hp changes need reverted.

    I do tons of parsing in the firing range for all guns just so i know the damage rate of said weapon on body shots or head. Which help me in a fight to know if i did something wrong or right. Kraber head shot is 465 damage. This is plenty enough to plow anything it touches.

    @E9ine_AC Yeah if they land headshots with a Kraber is a knock. But I think it should be, it's the only 1 shot kill gun in the game and only if you can land a head shot. I thought you were talking about body shots. Body shot from a kraber is what 145? I think head shots being 1 shot kills from the kraber is okay, its fire rate and reload time are fairly slow.. It also has really limited ammo.

    Plus it's difficult to land headshots with that gun. Definitely takes lots of practice to get used to bullet speed and drop from that gun.

    @DarthValtrex I dont find it ok when for 5 seasons now it did not do this. Head shots are quite easy to hit with this gun cause a lot just stand there like a potato. Some my 4k + Games was from having that kraber and a PK or wingman. Dont even get me started on the dang devo. I landed on one with loads of teams in frag. 8 kills 1700 damage in 1 min 28 seconds did i finally die. Game in its current state is 100% un balanced and broken.

    @E9ine_ACI've gone on some rampages with the Devo too. I just hope they get it to a good place. I love the Devo/energy set up.. Find a turbo carry a havoc until i find a Devo. The building an energy gun is just fun for me, but ya it could use some balancing. I don't disagree that some of the guns need some tweaking. But the Kraber is the only one I'm hesitant about.. Yeah I have done some high damage rounds with it as well. But I'd like at least 1 gun that's a 1 shot knock sniper.

    @DarthValtrex I can understand that its just a very drastic change after 5 seasons of it having its set damage and capability. I think with gold or red evo it should be a 2 shot knock as its been in the past. But that is me. It has never so much been the weapon that can just drop anyone in gold or even purple. It will knock their hp bar to half way point on a head shot with clearing the shield damage. I just find it very drastic and should been thought out more.

    @E9ine_AC I thought the Kraber was always a 1 shot knock gun season 3, 4 and 5? If you landed a head shot.. It's always knocked people for me when I head shot them, no matter the armor. There was a small window when the red armor/purple helmet with 225HP on a Gibi and it would not knock the Gibi.. But for the most part it was always a 1 head shot knock gun no?

    @DarthValtrex It was def a 2 shot weapon with gold or red evo. It knocked you down to 50% hp if you had purple knocked you down to about 25% hp. I pay very close attention to these things as math is everything to me and applied to almost everything i see and do daily even as a player.
