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...

Basically every single PCer uses it; i'm not really surprised it received a bit of a nerf
@TTZ_Dipsy Erm nope…..I hardly ever die to Svk users but certainly do to the ridiculously easy sniper rifles
Glad they nerfed the gun it should at least be 3 shots to kill with better accuracy instead of 2 shots which is broken.
- @DaRougaroux I feel like you're trying to support my argument, but you're very hard to understand.
- @emerson1975 I don't think most people understand that, the DMR literally fills no role now. No one will take a DM7 / SVK over an AK which is stupidly good in that mid-long range and basically everywhere (that gun actually needed a nerf). When other guns were brought up, there was no need to nerf the SVK.
It shoots faster if you put a no zoom optic on it

The patch barely made any difference to the SVK. It added a bit of horizontal recoil and thats it. The recticle returns to its start position after the initial recoil, meaning that you can still 2 shot without moving the analog/mouse
I don't understand why so many are complaining.
You just have to time your second shot. fire one, wait a fraction of a second longer for the reticle to return to its initial position
The difference is so small that I didn't even notice it at first. Thegun is still a beast. And still the best gun in the game at longer ranges because it still has zero bulletdrop.@BizzyVapingThe fire rate is slower, the recoil pattern is now up and left, its recoil recovery is about twice as long.
People should be complaining because the game has now been pushed into sniper rifles and very close combat (making it feel like fortnite or Apex legends) and while pretty much every other gun has recieved a buff the SVK got nerfed - this is typical developer knee J E R K reactions. The mid-long range is dominated by Sniper rifles completely as this game has no flinch / suppression mechanics, so you can take longer to aim shots.
It isn't about timing the second shot, unless you're playing AI that isn't a relevant argument. It actually does have bullet drop, and no, it isn't even close to the DXR in longer ranges.
