NT 242 Sniper Rifle Nerfed

Hey! 

I was playing arcade with a guest and noticed that the NT no longer one shots a player on a headshot.

Is this change purposeful? I really hope it is not because specialists were just starting to feel fun to play again but if it is true that there are no more actual one shot eliminations for specialists, I fear that specialists will no longer be fun to play. Also, this rifle has always one shot all other classes. I wouldn't have spent months grinding for it if I knew it was going to be nerfed. 

Am I the only one experiencing this or not? 

Thanks!

  • Hello there!

    I used NT-242 yesterday and it seemed that it was same as usual. But I might be wrong. 🤭

    The normal damage is 106, the headshot damage is 201. In your case, how much damage was given?

    By the way, the arcade mode has many features. In that mode, many things are different from the normal multiplayer mode for some reason. So I don't recommend to check the exact stats in that mode. Especially, hero abilities and some explosives. (It is from my own experience. :P )

    Hi Thanks.

    It was working fine on online for me too. One headshot for elimination.

    I have no clue what was going on. It was giving less than 150 for a headshot in an arcade 1v1 duel.

    I don't know why but that's what was happening. I guess you must be right about arcade mode acting differently.

    Thanks

    Arcade was always pretty different in other areas aswell, which is a shame, since we have no real way to test out abilities and cards. For example, both Luke's Force powers and Kylo's pull are lethal in arcade ever since launch, while they did little to no damage in multiplayer, depending on cards used and later base buffs.

    I think even the specialist trooper's repulsor cannon was many times lethal in arcade, which is just ridiculous. (I don't know if this is changed, I don't play arcade at all since I got all the stars way back in Autumn.)
