A timik rework that might actually work

(watsyurdeal) #1
  1. Buff the Timik’s damage to 16
  2. Nerf the RoF to 133 ms
  3. Nerf the clip size to 30

Just do those things and see how it performs, we get a heavier hitting but slower firing assault rifle.

I really like the current timik actually, for me, it does not feel weaker (nor stronger) compared to the other rifles.

why do you think it needs a rework?

(watsyurdeal) #3

Because it’s basically the exact same as the M4, with a difference in firing interval of about 5 ms, same damage, same clip size, and even the same accuracy. Only noticeable difference is it kicks more.

I feel like one of the two guns needs to be changed for the sake of variety.

I see your point and tho i do also think that the guns need more variety. But we need to keep in mind that a thing worse than similar guns, is an obvious better one.

also if the wiki’s correct your proposed change would make it a worse bishlock
(400 rpm, 18 dmg bishlock vs 300 rpm 16 dmg timik)

Your math is wrong

60000/133 = 451 rpm, so it’d be right in between the K121 and Blishok for RoF. And the damage would be 38 per headshot, so it’d take out everything but a 100 hp or higher mercs in 3 hits.

my math is a-okay, my reading however was off, i thought you said RPM instead of RoF. Sorry :neutral:.

I thought the Timik had slightly higher range than the M4 though? Personally the guns feel different to me, but I do seem to have exactly the same slay power with both.

Just wanna say, the Timik is actually based off of the AK-12 or rather more modern series that fires a round that is very similar to the 5.56 NATO. And technically the 5.56 ammo is better for damage dealing when your enemy is wearing armor since faster flying bullets allows the round to punch through armor and get to your soft fleshy weak skin (keep in mind that the mercs and especially Rhino wear armor). But if the enemy is wearing thin egyptian cotton, then go ahead and use the 7.62 since that round will melt through your guts :P.
