TOPIC: [SSRP Suggestion]Rifle And Pistol Boost

Server Name: Server 1 - Server 2 - Server 3

Suggestion Title: Rifle and Pistol damage boost

How would it benefit the server: It would benefit the server by making it more fair because at the moment the snipers have a boost which makes them really strong but the rifles or pistols don't have a boost which is a bad thing because they aren't used by many people and they don't do a lot of damage so I think that making a Rifle and Pistol damage boost would make everything fair and make people use other guns then just snipers!

Potential Issues/Exploits: None!

Additional notes: It's only fair for people who like snipers at the moment because the boost makes them stronger. I think that making a boost for the people who like Rifles and Pistols would make it more fair though!

90% of the people on the serve i see are always using PSG-1 or other snipers , would be fun to be able to use rifles or pistols that actually can kill.

Or you could just use snipers. And if rifles like m4 get 2x DMG its gonna be broken as fuck because of the fire rate of the gun.

@James Stone You should understand then give me your opinion because at the moment the PSG is doing over 300 damage with a close range headshot without the scope boost so with the boost it's doing 600 into the head so it's a instant kill close or long range HS/Body Shot with the scopeboost and that is just overpowered so why not make it fair and let people who use Rifles/Pistols do more damage as well ?

Let's not forget the price of the scope boost for what it does, although I do agree with James, as it would be a little bit broken, with the fire rate of the weapons.

Make it a Pistol upgrade.

@Brandify The price doesn't mean anything on the server and I don't get how it's fair at the moment because with the scope boost people are getting one shotted by an automatic sniper so to be honest to make the server fair they should either add a Rifle/Pistol Boost or make the scopeboost only effect the Semi Automatic Sniper's such as the AW-50 and M24!

I don't really see the need for this, if I were you I would just make a list of the guns and such you feel would need a small buff or such to make them better.

Sounds pretty good.

lmao Imagine a 700-950 RPM M4 shooting at you dealing double damage. Would really add bullshittery because If weapons that dont require skill are overpowered then its gonna be really frustrating to play. You have a PSG where you have to lineup shots and control the recoil while with the jackhammer or the AK for example Are just aim and click weapons that do NOT have skill involved.

The issue is boosts like this drastically increase the required skill gap between a new player and a veteran. Imagine spraying with a rifle but you only needed to hit half the bullets a new player would. That makes it frustrating for newer players and while gives them something to work for it also may frustrate newer players and drive them away from the server.

Snipers require skill to use. LMGs, rifles and to an extent pistols do not.

@Mobile Task You are probably here trying to state wrong facts because listen to me closely please, the PSG, SVU or any sniper rifle in the game can also have a cross hair and if you don't believe me type "hud_draw_fixed_reticle 1" in console and then tell me if it's fair or not also if you think that snipers require more skill then the AK/M4 etc then just stop talking and get off this topic please.

his point i think is not for new players , he means an upgrade just like scoop boost with a price , same , more or less than scoop boost.

If only gmod was skill based

This is probably whats going to happen:

@MobileTask Salt?

Oh sure so we should disregard the new players and make them even less relevant by making it so veterans can 1 shot them with every weapon under the sun?

The scope boost already creates some issues. Imagine if this was added as well.

I also like how you only played for a few days and you are already trying to tweak weapon balance, Little do you know you dont know shit about weapon balance and you're just salty that you are getting 1 tapped by a skilled person. You are also saying Im stating false facts, Meanwhile the facts Im saying Are completely true. You cant hold your salt worth a shit bro.
