Still NO SASR love? Crikey.

If you want to get your skill up fast use the FRC Particle snipers. Experience is based on damage done, and charged up it can do as much if not more than most bolt action sniper rifles. How I got my last 5 skill points. Took about an hour, running docks 101 arena. Around 1.25 skill ups per run.

Pure torture. Sawed-offs in general are utterly, laughably worthless. I've never even seen anyone use one seriously. Only the slug ones are any good, and even those are far worse than pistols.

I actually didn't have much of a problem with sawed-offs, using the "prepared" perk, you can easily equip 2 sawed off's and simply fire/rotate fire/rotate, you'll only have one bullet chambered around 77% of the time but it still packs a punch and doesn't need the frequent reloading.

I have this perk, and I should have considered this. Thank you.

(Doesn't it say something when the only way to get real utility out of a weapon is not to actually have to reload it?)

If anything the bolt actions need a buff. I use the ranger on the WM and on the old score I could always get above a million. I topped 2 million a few times too. When they upped the damage for semi autos they are better then bolt actions. Would have been fine if they upped the ammo pool instead of the damage. In PVP the only 2 snipers used anymore besides a surge bolter are the Ranger and FRC Quick Repeater. They kill anything with a headshot, used to be only the VBI or FRC bolt action sniper rifles were used.

Here's the problem with all of this.


It's a video game and I don't think they went for realistic. If you want something more realistic this isn't the game for you.

One look through any of the blue reticle scopes will prove that true. Contrast, where did my contrast go? Who came up with blue?

Nobody who has ever looked through a scope.

Well.. even though this is only a game, let's look at it with a real world variation shall we.

Yeah let's talk about the real world when snipers can get a nano that spews radiation, fire, or covers their shoes in **** and slows them down

Hey, you'd be surprised! Radioactive and incendiary projectiles are very real and in common use by most first-world militaries

Unless they changed them again... last time I used an FRC Particle Repeater it counted as a Semi Auto. It was also labeled one and it counted toward leveling my Semi Auto snipers up.

But seriously... it's about time snipers (Bolt Action and Semi Autos) get an ammo increase. If Sawed-offs can have 250 shots I don't see it being too game-breaking if both Sniper types have at least 100.

You are right but they don't work quite the way they do in Defiance. Regardless poopshoes, checkmate first world armies.

Personally, I'd like to see SMGs chamber pistol rounds and semi-automatic sniper rifles chamber assault rifle rounds. That would be the most realistic.

Effects on game tuning not withstanding, obviously.
