What's the point of the PSR Sniper Rifle?

Title. As far as I can tell it's worse than the M2010 ESR in every way except magazine size and, potentially, reload speed. It's listed with higher Bullet Velocity, but that is with the preinstalled Extended Barrel. If I put the Extended one in the M2010, it trumps the PSR in that stat, too.

Are there any individual, "hidden" stats that make this gun worthwhile? Given that it is locked behind a rather tricky challenge, I am incredibly underwhelmed by it.

Am I missing something here?

  • It is supposed to be an anti material rifle as far as i know, but with that current effort they put into the game i highly doubt they actually took the effort to work that out let alone communicate it......

  • I have both, I mastered the M2010, and currently on mastery 35 for the PSR. Its really underwhelming, and even the sweet spot (75-150) is not really accurate its more like 100-130, yes, that tiny 30 yard gap is all you get lol. And to top it off, this specific sniper rifle so far from my experience has a smaller headshot hitbox than the M2010, I have had countless shots where a target, laying still, full body exposed, and my shot just...... did nothing I followed multiple shots all the way through, and still got nothing. So yea the only thing of benefit so far is the larger mag. Thats it.

    Yeah completely pointless.  Why on earth would a adverised longer range sniper have less velocity? I completely wasted my time on the challenge then they reduced the requirement.  The long range rounds also show no stat change so what is it doing to reduce time to connect to target? 

    For a gun blocked behind challenge and advertised as long range, ATLEAST give it a higher bullet velocity than the first sniper in the game.

    Minjay10​ Yeah, the long-range rounds just make the bullet path a bit flatter, that’s about it. The gun’s way too weak for what it’s supposed to be and the stats on everything, don’t even seem to match how the guns actually behave. Feels like none of the snipers have the right velocity even the new mini one with 1,100 still needs you to lead shots like crazy, even at close to medium range.

    If you compare stat-wise, the PSR is not particularly impressive.   But, it feels better when shooting long distance than the M2010.   If I had to compare it, the M2010 feels like shooting needles, whereas the PSR feels like shooting hockey pucks.   Shots just land period.   Maybe the larger caliber is also factored, and I wouldn't be surprised as it fires a much larger round. 

  • I miss having a sniper rifle that was able to load out anti material or explosive rounds. The scopes feel less impressive, with more almost identical options without range this iteration compared to BF4 or 2042.

    Nobody cares that it comes with a 10x to help you see enemies further away?

    Or if it didn't come with 10x, it was unlocked very quickly after, I can't remember which.
