The real death of sniping.
The new utility railgun appears to have no drop from one side of the map to the other, and is slowly going to make true sniper rifles useless. I question DICE’s decision marking skills on this one.

I use to main the NTW-50 and have a stopped using the sniper as they nerfed it a third time to the point where it works best as a hip-fire and mid range weapon. The body shot kill from 150 meters to 100 meters was the kiss of death as it takes forever to ADS, forever to pull back the bolt and reload, and forever to change the magazine...all things that have been nerfed multiple times. And the drop on the NTW-50 was unrealistic at over 7-8 feet at 350 meters...and you had to shoot outside the scope reticle to hit a 400 meter shot...🙌
I switched to the railgun and T1ed it already. The railgun is WAAAAY harder to use than the snipers with the 700ms charge up time, crappy 6x scope with fat crosshairs that block seeing the target, but anything is better now than the sniper rifles after the continuous nerf-a-thon. Plus I enjoy a good challenge as my sniper rifle accuracy was 50% higher than the railgun to get to T1 level, so I can only get better as my accuracy sucks at the moment...😬
For those who think the Railgun is OP, please get a least 600 kills first before cementing your opinions as it is possibly the most difficult gun in game at the moment to shoot accuracy. It took twice as much time and effort to T1 the railgun versus the normal sniper rifles...
