Damage fall of is a bit too severe for some guns.

RPKM and M417 lose 6 damage per bullet before TEN meters, making them no better than all of the 25 damage per shot guns in the game

Been messing around in the shooting range and both the M417 and the RPKM show 33 damage per shot, but only do 27 at 10 meters. However the M240L and AK4D also says 33 damage and do 33 damage up to 20 meters.

So this means that the M417 (Carbine) and RPKM (LMG) both have a damage fall off so severe that at TEN meters you are losing damage? I don't understand this at all, especially on the RPK.

  • I just unlocked the RPK need to play more for attachments but 10m only is a bit weird. They will need some time to gather data and maybe will touch the weapons here and there. I like the slower RoF but it will be hell at closer combat most likely.

    absolutely is I popped 3 headshots while mounted with an LMG today in the center of a guys face and still lost the fight with an SMG. The guy was about 90-100 meters away. That to me is insane I should have hollowed his head out. It should take no more than 2 headshots with any weapon. It seems they went way too far the other direction for TTK.

    I think the falloff damage is bugged tbh, i get beamed with smg's and insta killed at distance while i've had carbines drop massive bullets into someone point blank for very very minimal damage. 

    Maybe they're referencing an inverse or something not sure.

    I can confirm this. The damage falloff is also higher on RPKM than KST100/L110 on distance. KST and L110 dont have that much damage fall off. 

    But with SMG I had beam 75-100mm with consistent damage no problem.

    When people complained about the M4 i though it was just because it unlock first and is iconic so ofc everyone is using it. But wow when i tried it myself lol. Its so much better than the lmgs and assault rifle i was leveling. You're right about winning fights at 70m with the m4 versus everything else with 2 quick burst.

    Now that weapons are unlocked for classes and carbines arent needed what should we do? Lets make Carbine better than everything else. Makes DICE sense.
