SVK? Why nerf it?...
Why the hell would you nerf a gun actually working, there was very few of those...? Knee J E R K reaction to balance. Now it will just be Sniper Rifle city again...
Forum Discussion
@Eventhius85 where is the nerf at?
They reduced the fire rate and increased the recoil recovery... It actually is trash now...
- @Eventhius85 but I do not see any text about it in the notes
Neither did I, but I'm in game and it is definitely the case.
The game is going to turn to a headless chicken shooter with SMGs / AR spam and no mid-range.
LMG bi-pods with good optics and decent DMRS provide a necessary range between AR and Sniper now that is broken.
And with vehicles basically trash now because of the recon drone C5 meta, breakthrough is near impossible - taking the objectives off the roof hasn't solved anything they did not instantly undo.
Is the new patch out already?
- @Eventhius85 Well deserved it was an unworthy easymode weapon cspable of out dps AR , smgs , Snipers at any range .. Its very design was broken if they adjusted it . Its a good thing
- @Stew360 "Snipers at any range", maybe because there is a range where DMRs should win in that conflict or have dominance in general shared with a decently positioned LMG bi-pod (which would come with risks as in previous iterations)?
A sniper is a 1 shot kill to the head = more dps (or the .50 which is a 1 shot to the body at some ranges)...
It does not get close to the dps of SMGs or the ARs (especially not close in spray and pray) and now their spread has been reduced it does not compete in the mid to long range.
What this knee J E R K nerf has done is created a massive deadspot in the game and made it harder to close distance in general, especially due to the fact that snipers have no flinch or supression, which means they can take more time to line up shots at that range.
This change ruins the balance of the game because the DM7 does not work in mid-long range either.
Also, if the SVK was so easy mode, why isn't the most used gun, or the "Meta"?
It was only good before because it was viable, now the meta is between the any SMG, the AK, PKP, and the DXR. - @Stew360 A dmr should be out gunning an ar or smg at range!
we are only 4weeks in so the balancing has just begun, there where always guns those outplayed others. I’m sure we will get mor patches which will address balancing issues
The SVK is still power full you only need adjust your gameplay a little bit.
The Visuals to up left are the thing that I ned to get used to it and not the small delay between the shots^^
And till now I don't have played much any AR or SMG (only to test how it handles), I'm playing one shot guns since the first day^^
It's a kind of my own Challenge here^^
See you on the Battlefield
