TOPIC: [SSRP] Weapon Balance

Nerfing the SVU and PSG will do absolutely nothing.They would still be a better option than the other guns and people would still use them anyway. If you want to make it balanced , buff the other weapons because as of right now they suck ass. The shotguns really need to be buffed because they would be a great alternative to the snipers.

What your basically saying in your post is , screw needing aim and skill to shoot 1 bullet at a time into the opponent, let's replace them with weapons that need no skill and are just spray and pray.Sounds like a great idea to me.

Only fire when you are scoped in.

i could buy a thundergun for about 5m. Is 5m much? No, it's not. Considering the fact that it takes almost no time to get that money and you will almost never lose it if you're carefull.

Csgo, dota and league and whatever takes strategy. The fun about gmod you mainly need to have perfect precision and you will be a top player.

Strategy is lame so gmod > Dota

The skill is in the strategy.

All these people saying the PSG and the Draganouv are balanced.

How the fuck can you think that?

I could spam with both of them and get some lucky shots off.

Nerfing PSG's and SVU's will make scope boost useless. Scope boost is fucking expencive and if this happens, it will be like the gluon, cheaper than the SCU (About 64 mil for the scope boost).

Just remove scope boost

Keep the same dmg on snipers just increase recoild and lower the fire rate.
A buff or a rework for other guns seems like a good idea i am actualy tired of onley using snipers.
At the curent state
Pistols=Useless
Auto Rifles=Useless
Shootguns=decent
LMG=Spray and pray you kill them before runing out of ammo even tho you have 200 round mag

Snipers:
50Cal= worse dmg than the svu totaly useles the fire rate is god awfull
Interval(SWAT Sniper)= Bad DMG and slow fire rate Useless
SVU/Dragunov= Good DMG, FAST Fire rate, low recoil
PSG= Almost the same as the dragunov slower reload time and fire rate (not by much tho)

Now i understand ppl dont like the change i would like to see a sniper used on medium/long distance to be usefull, Rifles shot/medium distance, shootguns short distance(already is), pistols actualy usefull for selfe defence.

So replace it with a different, exclusive boost.

Dragunov and PSG are balanced, it's as simple as that. With or without scope boost anyways, it's still a nice gun to use. People won't switch to other guns, they will use Dragunov and PSG because if the person has good aim, then this doesn't make a difference. If you want to introduce more guns to the table, try a new weapon pack or even better, release that boost for LMG or Ak's or whatever. They have it for Scope so why not normal guns?

A lot of people like yourself are saying things about the gamemode when you barely play. If you play for a while, you know that the hitboxes plus dragunov and psg make it balanced. To back this up, see the video that Mobile posted.

Are you seriously suggesting poor hitboxes are an acceptable balancing technique

oats wrote:
DATS RIGHT! They already are basically, I mean come on the hitboxes are so broken right now, doubt they're going to be fixed and its harder to hit shots and stuff with Dragunov and PSG. This encourages people to use other guns.

Hitbox issues apply to all weapons.

oats wrote:
Yes but weapons such as LMG can spray more than what a dragunov can do or a jackhammer even

BOT_Wub wrote:
The likely hood to hit a shot may be more but as it does less damage it's kind of evened out.

Think of it like this:

Chance to miss HIT shot due to hitbox issues: 10%

One gun shoots 1 shot per second and does 100 dmg

One gun shoots 5 shots per second and does 20 dmg

Theoretically the heavy hitting gun misses 1 shot in 10 seconds, while the LMG thing misses 5. That's 100 damage missed each.

Bump.

It could be really nice to see some of the other weapons get some relevance. I dont think there is a need to nerf the snipers however, perhaps nerf scope boost to 1.5x instead of 2x?

I'd like to see some explosives get nerfed tho, such as HC, T-gun..
