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.

    @E9ine_ACYeah 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.

    Now its one shot if you use Rampart Amped Cover even to the body, which is insane. I`m not sure if its only to LP legends or to all.

    And this is with a purple armor. If you have anything less bye bye baby.

    Season 4-5 Kraber was one shot to the head, no matter what legend you are. The damage was - 435 to the head to normal legends, 457 to LP and 370 to Fortified.

    Head shot was a knock in any cases.

    As far as Triple Take, its definitely super strong. Its 2 shot kill even if you are 200. And its very easy to land your shots, if you got a good angle. Its easy to land shots on close range too, and this should not be a case with snipers.

    But atm there is so much OP weapons, its not even worth talking.

    @E9ine_AC Yeah kraber has been headshot = down for awhile but I think the most body damage it does is like 167 so if you are full health with a purple or gold or above shield you should not instantly go down.

    This is one of those I need to see a video ones.

    I just had a thought- How much does ramparts shield boost the kraber? I expect it would be enough to one shot knock someone with purple or gold armor.

    @DarthValtrex I wish you could charge it up WHILE you hip-fire so it always shoots really tightly around that little dot in the center of the hip-fire reticle. I've always really liked the versatility of the TT, wish it was a little more competitive in close quarters. 

  • @hayhor wiki says Amped Cover boosts all outgoing damage by 20%, Kraber does 145 damage to body on non-perked Legends.

    20% of 145 is 29, 29+145 = 174. Not quite enough damage, you will literally leave them begging for death at that point. 

    Low Profile = 5% extra damage, base goes up to 152, 20% of 152 = 30.4, 30.4 +152 = 182.4 which means it will knock LL, Path, Wraith and Watt who've got purp or gold.

    OR LP gives 5% more damage AFTER 20% damage boost, meaning you're getting 5% of 174 which is 8.7, 8.7 +174 =182.7 so same deal. 

    Fortified just won't die. Ever. Can't even knock a blue shield target with Amped damage and Kraber.

    @pastaclown Thanks for confirming this.I swear in season 5 I saw kraber shots to the body of 160s tho? I may have an old video. I'll have to check.
