It's not a sniper first of all. Its a rail gun, based off the mrk1 from bf4/2142 the only sniper that has vehicle damage all tho it got nerfed pretty quickly due to small number of safe space living babies that didn't like that it was good at its job aka the NTW-50.
The nerf on the Rorsch MK4 was absolutely not needed, it was basically perfectly balanced, I have been killed by people using the sws, dxr, gol more times then the Rorsch, I rarely seen it used at all, if it was so over powered then why was everything single person in each game not using it? The issue is dice decided too listen to.
some tiny little safe space corner group plus I'm sure the YouTubers who made videos saying it was so overwhelming and powerful didn't help either,
because in reality you gotta have some laggy * internet or using hacks or playing on a toaster to win any sort of mid range close range even long range engagements with it effectively. Once again another weapon that had its place & play style. But now its just useless, joining the other nerfed ,useless * in the pile.
Excuse my pour ability to write properly lol
