Hey guys I know were all for no OHK's because of the campers and stuff but what do you think would be the perfect balance for the sniper on each bodytype?

I honestly believe a sniper should always be a skill weapon for example halo not cod :s where a shot in the foot kills.... and I believe a team sniper will be a huge help on any team

now for the damage:

Heavy- For heavy it should take 2 headshots, 3-4 body shots ( depends if buffed)
medium- 1 headshot, 2-3 bodyshots (again depends if buffed
light- 1-2 shots (again depends if buffed)

whats your opinions?

Light health- 120
Medium health- 140
Heavy- 180

These are unbuffed.

Barnet damage- 125 every 2.3 seconds
Dragnov- 80 every .3 seconds but can got faster with rapid fire damage.

My first opinion is that you already posted this in the other thread and if not for the timelimit on posting I would have responded there.

But so you know the Base damage we currently have for the Barnett (via strategy guide) is 125 points of damage. That's a base body shot.

The light body type has 120 hp, so a body shot will incapacitate a light in one shot. Leg shots may do less damage, but I have no confirmation on that.
The medium body type has 140 hp, so a body shot won't incap him, but we assume that a HS will add a fair amount of damage and thus will likely incap a medium.
The Heavy is at 180 hp, and a HS might still drop him.

Buffs will obviously change that around a bit in both directions, but right now it looks like skill with the LR is being properly rewarded.

Slightly ninja'd it would seem. :toughninja:

Thanks I'm Glad a headshot will get people DOWN I was under the impression that headshot or no headshot there was no such thing called a OHK in brink!

Yes, HS supposedly matter although I have no numbers to put infront of you at this moment. Likely a HS from the Barnett will be bad news for all three body types, but we'll see.

Thanks a lot! do you happen to know if light bodytype will be able to hold a barnett or not since its a long rifle?

Yes, lights can use the Barnett and Drognav Light/Long rifles.

Headshots in this game are difficult in this game without aim assist. Either way, the only time it's really necessary to use either of the light rifles is (obviously) for medium to long range. Trying to quickscope will result in a hilarious miss.

According to Cinna, a Heavy will not go down in one hit, and s/he seems to have came through
