VSS DMR form is disappointing and miserable

A DMR with the lowest velocity of any weapon in the game, horrible damage model, accuracy below that of other DMRs and firerate consistent with already existing dmrs that surpass it in all of these categories is appalling. Increased headshot multiplier is meaningless when you have to lead targets at 12 meters, and any change in their movement (be it stopping, slowing down, ducking, turning, whatever) will cause your shots to miss even if you lead appropriately. 

The slower your velocity, the shorter the range where you have control over if your shots hit target. If your round takes too long to reach its target, it no longer is within your control whether they are in the spot an appropriate lead would've hit them because they can change their movement within that time. It is legitimately entirely luck beyond extreme close-range, even when you are perfectly accurate. This is fine, for an ultra cqb beast (like it should be with the full-auto attachment) but the experience leveling the weapon is heinous and the game is shallower because the weapon is clearly designed not to function in this form. It is a formality. I don't want it to be the best DMR in the game, but this level of dysfunction is so, so disappointing. It isn't good in CQB because it's a low fire rate single-fire weapon that requires headshots to compete, with the slowest velocity in the game. It isn't good at long range because of the aformentioned velocity. If the slow velocity is integral to its design (built-in suppressor) it needs to accommodate that in DMR form with exceptional accuracy even when spamming.  

It was really cool to introduce the M16 in a way that allowed it to function both as a burst weapon, and full-auto, with significant tradeoffs between them. This is just a waste of time that sours the experience on the newest map significantly.

  • It's pretty fun in full auto, but I think they should probably make the attachment cost 30 or 35.

  • Because it's not really a DMR they just categorized it wrong and took away its full auto by default. It's 70-80% assault rifle designed to shoot below the sound barrier.
