Okay, to make this right the BR MUST BE BUFFED to the EQUAL 4Skill of the DMR. (fr/short to med long range)
…and the ‘BRspread’ must be eliminated…
People expected the BR and DMR to be relatively equal w/the BR being more effective short to med and the DMR med to long range but it’s not working out like that…
The BR is losing and along w/it MANY BR LOVING PLAYERS.
I happen to like the DMR and the BR but they need to be equal from short-mid to medium long range…
I see what your saying, But the BR being given a buff could unbalance the close/med range sandbox in a number of ways if anything is to happen it would have to be a SLIGHT Dmr Nerf, and not anything in the power range, leave it a 5sk just give it a slight ROF nerf that would equalize it so it would still be deadly at long range, not be completely useless at med range because the BR could out-fire it and it would be all but useless at close range compared to the AR, storm rifle and supressor. See what I’m saying?
I agree that they are not very balanced right now (DMR is op) however making the BR a 4 shot kill would make it waaay too powerful. Btw, DMR is not a 4sk either. The best solution would be to slightly decrease the rof on the DMR to make its kill time just slightly longer than the BR. This way the BR will have the advantage close-mid while the DMR will still dominate far range.
The BR is probably the least viable precision weapon right now. That said, I tried out a bunch of custom games on a modded gametype (no Sprint) with damage increased and the BR felt so right as a 3 or 4sk.
