Sniper Rifles and PvP

[Amack]

The same with the Disruptor. Now, its not common but if you get a Disruptor with a double fire rate and cannoneer that will bring it to a 12.0 which will make it pretty much shoot full auto. The amount of shots in the volleys it gets off is crazy. And modded out one can make it beastly up close shooting it from the hip, its like a fast rate shotgun. Far and close it has no recoil. And at a distance it is a pin down machine. The Disruptor at distance is good as is with its 9.0 fire rate but a boosted fire rate one is good all over.

The amount of projectiles you shoot at someone is unmatched. And because it covers such a big circumference when it shoots you cant miss. Its a near body sized wall of lasers flying, its relentless. And trust me if you are hitting players while they are trying to hit you they will fall back behind cover just because of the sheer amount of crap flying towards them, and now you have them pinned and now are in control of this engagement you are in.

No one ever look to use Disruptors, its always been SAWs, Thunders, and even Rockers because they are stronger stat wise.

I never brought it up. It is something I feel that needs to be fixed in that rate of fire bonus rolls should not be on the Disruptor to stop this thing from ever being this crazy. But that's not going to happen.

This is obviously still a work in progress Nef. There are not many players who can truly appreciate the full capabilities of this gun.

Nef, you crack me up.

I do think that all Semi Snipers should be toned down a a little bit meanwhile i think Bolt Actions should be doing more white damage and should still be a one shot to the head.

i think blur should provide 100% miss chance of a headshot. its meant to reduce chance of being hit.
thats 1 way around aimbot

The amount of skill that it takes to headshot someone using blur in pvp astounds me. Leave it be.

Leave Semi-Auto alone pls

Let Bolt Action will have a way more crit mult: x5 for example

I think sniper rifles are a bit too easy to use, personally. I am really god awful with sniper rifles in most games except for this one. In pretty much any other game with any reasonable PVP weapon balance whatsoever the trade off for a weapon that can be so deadly from such a long distance is that its difficult to use, especially the farther away you are. You must account for bullet drop, moving targets and in some games wind is a factor. Thats not that case in Defiance.

I think thats a great idea.

If people manage to hit headshots on targets using blur they should be awarded for that. A way around an aimbot is not something that should be in game design, it should be handled either by the Devs or by an Anticheat.

Whats the point of more damage/crit multiplier if you can insta kill with less? The damage is wasted.

In my experience Semi auto SR are easier to use than Bolt Action. IMO the ability to insta kill should require a high level of skill.
