The BSV is overpowered

i just like the buff cause of the salt it will cause on youtube and in forums

The Weapon is just broken. You can three shot everyone. You are Stealth because the Weapon mostly has subsonic rounds. You have one of the highest Firerate in Full Auto. I tried it. It beats every other DMR in Rangefights easily. In close combat you destroy mp9 and k30 players. This weapon is just a cheat build into the game. I am fine with the longrange Dmg of the gun, because it is a DMR after all. But the close range dmg needs to be reduced by 50%. either reduce to close combat ammo dmg or reduce the firerate by alot. 

Hey folks,

I can add more context about the BSV-M balance changes in the #1.1 Update, which we know is being discussed heavily in terms of its power.

What we've done in this update is buff all DMR's as a group, because we felt they were not performing as you would expect. By instead adjusting individual DMR's, so for example excluding the BSV from this change, it would mean just further widening the gap between individual DMR performance, which would then lead to more difficulty establishing a balance between them.

In short, we have now established a baseline for how we want DMR's to perform. If we still see the BSV dominating, we are able to balance it with more accuracy so we can adjust it while still ensuring it remains a relevant weapon to use (because it's awesome, but that's just me).

What we also can confirm is that we're reviewing and testing changes to the High Power (non-Subsonic) Rounds, and its behavior in Full Auto mode. We're looking to include that in a future Update.

With this buff the average DMR muzzle velocity has become even higher than the average muzzle velocity of sniper rifles, when it should be far below.

*Facepalm*

@FlommingsenA jack of all trades master of none then.

Other guns are still more specialized. For a long range DMR I would still use the SVK

The BSV is superior in most areas,  it is more versatile then any other gun (through the modification of  rate of fire), it is very good at range, very good  at  close combat and also  very good in between. Additional,  it has high damage  and  if that is  not enough,  it  has always  a  silencer on it and has the option  of  very  useful subsonic rounds. The weapon has no  weakness.  I  would  not prefer a  SVK  over  the  BSV and  nearly nobody else is doing  so.  And because of  that,  everyone is running around with the  BSV  and nearly nobody with the SVK. 

I  don't know what game design philosophy stands behind  this weapon... but in my opinion, it is a poor one. The same  goes for the stealth  helicopter,  no real weakness, just the addition, that  you can't be killed, if you don't want to. 

I can't  wait, what  DICE will  give  us in  season 2... 

"What we also can confirm is that we're reviewing and testing changes to the High Power (non-Subsonic) Rounds, and its behavior in Full Auto mode. We're looking to include that in a future Update."

Would be great if the nerf happens prior to the next big (August) update... The bsv-m equipped with high power rounds currently makes assault rifles obsolete for mid range combat - only 2/3 shots are required to down an enemy within 150 m, which is ridiculous considering its high fire rate! (single fire mode)

Its still acting like an SMG and murdering us with the K30. 

Obviously, when someone is saying that a gun is overpowered, they are making a comparative claim - comparing its performance to that of other guns.

As far as I know, battlefield 2042 is not supposed to be a milsim/ hyper-realistic. Realism might be fun for you and that's fair, but others including me find milsims to be painfully boring and annoying.
