The AC 42 doesn't require any skill and oneshots you almost everytime

Don't know if i am the only one experiencing this but i really think the AC 42 needs a nerf, too accurate and with one burst automatically dead without having any possibility to respond. And this hap...

Don't forget that super bullets, general server latency and a really low tickrate are major issues in the game. The TTK and TTD are wildly different sometimes.

Best DMR in the game

When using it I find it a bit better than average.
But on the receiving it it often FEELS very unfair. More so than other guns in the game. Insta death from mid-range is frustrating.
Something needs to be tweaked here to improve the experience on the receing end.

@AngrySquid270 Honestly, even using it (at least on PC) it feels busted. It's not as good at closer range engagements (though it's not bad), but at mid-longer range engagement it feels beyond broken. I'm regularly wiping crews with DMR's with it, but that's partially because outside of the SVK with high-powered rounds the entire DMR category of weapons has no reason to exist, and even using it fairly effectively against snipers.

If snipers don't headshot me or quickly get back to cover, putting 2-4 rounds into their head while they're chambering the next round isn't even that darned hard unless they're at extreme ranges. It's hilariously accurate even when firing quickly in semi-auto mode.

Feels like insta death because the netcode is so so poor.

Having a problem selecting single fire on AC 42. Hint says press down on D-Pad, but nothing happens.
Any suggestions?

@Lancelot_du_Lac You need to ADS and then press down on the dpad.

@ElliotLH just don't try to exit a vehicle before ADS.

@Adamonic It'd be good if Dice got that bug sorted out.

@Lancelot_du_Lac That's weird as that's how I change fire modes. Not really sure why it's not working for you when you do that. Can you change the fire mode on other guns?

@ElliotLH Doesn't work on other weapons, either. Got me stumped.

@Lancelot_du_Lac It is very odd and the only thing I can think of right now is that it might be something in the controller settings.

@ElliotLH Checked that last night - controller is on default mode.
I am thinking I may need to delete the game, and download again.

@Lancelot_du_Lac Probably not a bad shout to start fresh. Got my fingers crossed that does fix it for you. It a really strange problem so a simple fix, like a reinstall, would be lovely.

@Lancelot_du_Lac You have to ADS, if I remember correctly, than you can change the fire modes. At least that's how I did it back in the days. It's just another bug.

@Jozso987 Having to ADS first doesn't actually seem to be a bug - if you check the controller setting it says down on the dpad will change "Fire Mode (with zoom)". I took a screenshot the other night if you wanted to check: https://www.xbox.com/play/media/6F2ABQ7M
