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...

You are absolutely right! There was only 2 dmr weapons and now there is only one, really bad one, dm7. Svk is now sniper with very strange recoil and so slow. Big maps and far distances need decent dmr guns if you don't want to be sniper.
Thats why I quit the game and reinstall Battlefield V which supposed to be world war2 game and there dmr guns are much better and they are designed something like 80 years ago 😂 so 2020 or like in this game 2042 they are even worse than 80 or something years ago...cmoon just even try to keep some kind of realism. If I want to play fortnite I can it has already done don't need a new one - @BizzyVaping Actually it is a huge difference. I noticed it in very first second when I shot it after update. It's useless now, but if you like snipers then it is decent
- @aksur83 Im not into snipers at all.
I just used it on Rush to get the 30 kills for the weekly challenge. It was still a beast at both long and medium range. With the highpower ammo and K8 Holo or ironsights its even fairly decent at closerange
I only used the 4x scope for long range and either the K8 Holo or ironsight for close and medium range. Might be different with longer range scopes, I don't know. Hopped on today to use my favorite gun [svk with the 15 round mag so i can actually run around instead of sniping which makes it a 3 shot at range which was balanced] to my surprise it kicks about 3x as much now . Thx dice for ruining the only fun i could find in this horrendous game lol
- @DaRougaroux I feel like you're trying to support my argument, but you're very hard to understand.
- @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
- @emerson1975 It is the headless chicken player running around the map hopping / sliding everywhere taking too much caffiene and getting mad with everyone who plays the game like a tactical shooter rather than just run and gun. Hey my SMG / AR didn't beat you at every range, your gun is OP...
