NTW-50 Needs balancing

For anyone that didn't know, the NTW-50 is a level 60 sniper unlock that has a one shot kill to the chest within 100m.

In my opinion it is simply too powerful at the moment with the only drawbacks being slow ADS and slow fire rate.

My ideas are to adjust the OHK range alongside only being able to use the weapon prone, because with way it is now it makes every other sniper rifle completely redundant.

Plus, when more people unlock this gun it is not going to be fun constantly getting one shot by snipers.

  • Yeah, OHK should be 10 meters. 20m tops. Either that or have everyone spawn with armour by default so it's only OHK to people who haven't replenished their armour.

    Something needs to be done, it will brought into the limelight more when more snipers unlock it. Hopefully Dice act now so the games not plagued with the weapon in the coming days. 

  • It would be unusable under 100 meters if it wasn't a one-shot. You miss that shot, you're dead.

    If anything, it needs a buff. It takes multiple mags to take down a vehicle. It has one job and does it poorly.

  • New to Battlefield games?  They've had anti-materiel rifles in the game since Battlefield 2.  Both the M95 and M82 have been staple anti-materiel rifles for the sniper class and have been used very effectively against enemy soldiers and vehicles alike.

    I don't remember taking out tanks with either rifle, but I have taken out helicopters, quads, players, APC's and boats, but not sure about tanks.

    Yeah, the ability for it to take out a tank is pretty stupid (the recoiless rifle, mines and C5 do a good job already).  Should the 50 be able to take out a tank?  Probably not.  Should it be able to annoy a tank?  Yes!!

    Besides, EA already announced they are going to nerf it, so it may do less damage to tanks. Hopefully they don't reduce the damage output it does to LAV's or the stupidly powerful Bolte!

  • @AJ_Clickzsorry to say but you seem to not have used the gun yourself and just panicking over its positives without being fully aware of its negatives.

    The gun is way inferior to the DXR as a snirping weapon due to being slower at everything including bullet velocity. The American Sniper wannabes will never use it over the DXR.

    Footage by Stodeh does not count as the normal performance of that gun

    I consider the gun to be disappointing enough, that I have not used it for over a week by now
