The BSV is overpowered

@InS_HypnoI havent got all the attachments yet but I dont think it is. The limited ammo is a big downside of it and especially in a game with a larger playercount you often can run out of bullets or be stuck switching ammo types

And no one brings ammo crates 80% of the time

@InS_HypnoIt's outshined up close by smgs. 800 fire rate is slow compared to them. It's outshined by ARs in mid range. It really only shines in long distance

With a short barrel and close combat ammo the rate of fire should be 920 rounds per minute, which is faster then all the smgs except for the K30. Question is if it kills in 4 or 5 shots, if it kills in 4 shots it have lower ttk then all the smgs aswell.

I've never seen the rpm stats say it's higher then 800 rpm. Maybe that's a bug on PS4/PS5. I have the Short barrel, close combat mag. 

I think people might think it's op because alot of good players unlocked it quickly and where using it. So allot of people where dieing to it. Up close I prefer the k30 and mp9 smgs. Mid range I prefer the M5 and scar AR. It's solid as a dmr but to be honest I haven't used the other dmrs enough to compare.

Yeah, considering the high RoF on single fire mode, 1 body hit + 1 headshot to get a kill within 150 m is ridiculous

It is over powered. the Damage is stupid and no recoil is just broken. Everyone is rocking it because it is broken Streamers and youtubers are saying its broken. Sad to see it being the new meta everyone rocking the same gun with the copy paste attachments that makes it 3 bullet kill. Keep digging EA you really have broken and cash grabbed this game

"streamers think this is true so it must be" is as invalid an argument as "MSM says this thing is true so it must be".   streamers are just players that let people watch their game.  they are not special in any way.  and perhaps the reason so many people are using the new gun...is it's new?

*edit*  think not thing

But players with sub 1.5 KD and sub 0.5 KPM sure knows if it's op or not

And your anectodal evidence and blanket generalization is more valid than his complaint? Riiight...

The BSV definitely isn't balanced well against other DMRs. The Dm7 is hugely outclassed by it across all ranges. The DMRs in general are poor representations of what they should be seeing they're precision weapons and all, but you wouldn't guess that seeing how unrealistic they are in terms of accuracy or damage.

Bottom line here: Weapon balance is a problem and the BSV doesn't help things. At all. I've been playing BF games since the very first one and in my personal opinion, this is right up there with worst of the series. It barely squeaks in before the travesty that was Hardline.

Close combat ammo is 5 BTK up to 30 m. 

Plus it has way worse hipfire spread than the Smgs,  people always neglect to point that out

Agree with OP. Extremely overpowered gun that sucks the fun out of the game, at least with the high power rounds. For the amount of damage it does with that type of rounds it certainly lacks a proper amount of recoil. Previous BF games that had this gun balanced it out with very high recoil, but I don't see that at all in this game.They either need to lower the damage or greatly increase the recoil so that it isn't a full auto death beam up to very long range any more, I'd opt for recoil increase. Also a lot of people use it because it's OP, not because it's new gun.

Yeah the only problem seem to be high power rounds

It could also get a bit more recoil in single fire

That is ridiculous AND the K30 really really really needs a nerf. The range is better than most ARs. 

TBH I die most from SFAR and M5A3. My original opinion stands. Overused_ not overpowered. 

At least no one complains about crossbow XD
