Sniper: Body shot damage reduction

i'm pretty sure brotranq wasn't whining at all, instead rather he's scoffing at how much easier it is to harass snipers without the fear of dying from the stray bodyshot

Or I quoted a post on page 1 and didn't come back to write my response until well after page 2 was underway.

Don't talk to me about literacy until you're able to write like an adult.

good job mister troll


Just one problem with your post, whenever somebody posts while your writing on this forum it will show you.

I suggest in future you try reading instead of QQing pointlessly.

Stop whining goathax

Y'know, all the "PC gamer master race" stuff rings a little hollow after reading a thread like this.

Maybe so, but we are better looking, and that counts for a lot.

No, actually I was scoffing at silly snipers and being weaker than crap.

Just a question. How is bot killing power as good when explosive rounds are weaker? I can check, but it looked okay-ish when I saw some snipers earlier today pushing bots on steel peel.

This might not be so bad, although a heavy-support team will probably be impossible for snipers to kill.

BOT DAMAGE AND PLAYER DAMAGE ARE SEPARATE VARIABLES THAT CAN BE TWEAKED INDEPENDENTLY.

They are tweaked by multipliers of the same base damage. I can check, but I bet it's the same.

Nope, his bodyshots would be worthless against jackbots. Let's hope pc players are as "gifted" as you say they are, and in the same way you claim them to be (I bet they are "gifted" alright).

wait.. bot headshots are a different damage than bot body shots?

How in hell have you been playing sniper? You thought we were lying that snipers are good at bot killing? How have you been killing them well? Especially jackbots?

headshot the support then whittle away the gunner's health? (that's my assumption of what you meant of the heavy, tho the tank could fit that too)

this still keeps making me think back to team fortress 2 tbh, and in that case it's the same idea, kill the medic first


you know what i mean

(and yes, for the love of bullseye i do understand that MNC is NOT TF2. it just happens to be a good similarity eh?)

I've never played sniper in actual combat because I often find myself bad at sniping in most games.

I do use him in Blitz occasionally and I just never tried head shotting bots.

I love how you imply that the bodyshot dmg reduction hurts bot killing, and than 2 comments later, you facepalm some guy for not headshotting bots.

You make me laugh bro.

Congratulations, you caught me.

Seriously, mediocre snipers can't hit bot heads 100%. The explosive rounds come from base sniper rifle damage. Therefore, Bots around the target are also damaged slower.

I will hit 3/4 bot heads. There are 3 blackjacks in a group. This still barely covers killing a bot wave. So I will not complain. I saw a sniper earlier doing pretty well killing bots. So let's just leave it at that.

right

the reduction only occurs when you don't hit the head, this should NOT be a problem on jackbots, and as far as I can tell, you can't miss the slimbot head if u try.

The blackjacks head is what I mean.

Slims will die from a bodyshot, all of them at once with passive 3?

If a wave of bots come walking in from the turret nub to the ball, I want snipers to have a decent chance to stop at least 2 of 3 bots (blackjacks, slims don't matter). Even I was able to do that. As it is, you can get 3 bots with a misshot and 3 headshots, so it's still fine.

It is pretty much equivalent to making reload time longer, you have to get more bodyshots to kill so overall more ammo is needed and the time it takes to kill is increased. Sounds good.

The sniper's base damage and explosive damage are the same AMOUNT but two different variables.

BAL_SNIPER_DMG=100
BAL_SNIPER_HEADSHOT=6.7
BAL_SNIPER_ZOOM_MINDMG=170
BAL_SNIPERWEAP_EXPL=100

I don't believe that the zoomed damage of 170 buffs the sniper explosive damage.

It has already been tested, 3 explosive rounds still kill blackjacks. Sounds fine by me. So, how is the weather outside?
