(dd.mm.yy hh:mm)Summarize your bug The M39 EMR vault weapon is able to perform a one shot kill to the head as long as the enemy is under 41M away from you with the factory barrel equipped.How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Use the EMR with default barrel to test headshot damageWhat happens when the bug occurs? The EMR is able to one shot kill to the head under 41MWhat should be happening instead? The M39 EMR should have the same headshot damage as the other marksman riflesThe EMR should not be able to one shot at that distance, the headshot damage with the supressor has since been fixed, but the default barrel is still able to do it.

@DetectiveKev Technically it’s a sniper rifle, from BF3.So on that basis, it should OHK.It should really be reclassified as a sniper rifle but dice put it in with the marksmen rifles.You can hold breath with the M39, so it is displaying sniper rifle behaviour.They should remove hold-breath and slightly lower it’s damage values or move it to the sniper rifle category.I have made a thread about.But as usual, it is completely ignored.

Hi @DetectiveKev, Do you have a video of this issue by any chance? If so, could you share it with us here, please?Either via YT or Streamable for example.

@EA_Leeuw Don’t really think you need a video clip of it 🙄.Just play with the rifle.Also, I think my post sums up the situation.

@EA_Leeuw Here you go, hope this helps.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5l8j9K5TPU

@DetectiveKev, thank you, passing it on to the teams.

@EA_Leeuw Patch notes have already been posted by your colleague that show that headshot damage for the M39 has been reduced and implemented in next week’s update

@creepnpeep technically its a Designated Marksman Rifle.

its a Modernized adaptation of the M14 which was also a Carbine Marksman Rifle.

while i know this is BF, the M39 has never been classified as a sniper or precision marksman rifle.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M39_Enhanced_Marksman_Rifle

It has always been used to support a sniper class rifle for shorter range ( max effective is 850 yds anyways ) engagements should a enemy element push up closer to a recon team.
