Aimee is also faster and her SNITCH allows her to instagib squishies and makes the enemy easier to kill which helps your teammates more than a simple wallhack.

She’s a sniper. Snipers are supposed to kill, not help their teammates kill. Speed is unimportant on her as she mostly stays away from close quarter combat. SNITCH 90% of times gets destroyed before it gets to de-buff anyone. About instagibbing i have no idea, never heard about SNITCH affecting it, and even if it’s true, you can always just shoot another bullet and do it yourself. And knowing where your enemies are, even through walls, is much more useful than knowing they are at the place you can already see them…

If your SNITCH gets destroyed before it gets anyone, then you just place it in bad spots.

The speed allows her to escape faster. The extra movement speed also makes it easier to hit targets and dodge while recharging the next shot.

SNITCH allows you to instagib because you do too much damage. 158*1.25 = 197.5 damage. You only need to deal 100 extra damage on top of killing the enemy to gib them. So any merc with 97hp or less will get insta-gibbed if you headshot them.
(Yes I know you need less damage for mercs with less than 100 max hp but it doesn’t matter in this case).

The debuff also allows you to 2 shot bodyshot Fragger and 1 shot headshot Thunder (not too important but worth noting too).

If an enemy pushes you and you have your SNITCH, you can throw it on the floor and it will be easier to kill them (pretty rare, but it might help every once in a while)

I main Aimee, I find it a lot easier to get kills as Aimee than Vassili, and I find the MoA better than the FEL-IX.
The extra speed just makes a world of difference.
The SNITCH is amazing when you learn to place it effectively

Well, when you put it that way, it sounds very convincing! Also, thanks for the info on instagibbing, had no idea about that! All you’ve said is correct and true, but it just feels bad knowing you could be more effective by just chilling in the back and sniping someone off with MOA, knowing more about other’s postitions, which helps at those 1vs1 or clutch situations against other snipers.

Yeah I’ve seen higher levels putting SNITCH at some really good spots, but I’ve never bothered to actually nail the spots right, I would just throe it at some general direction (yeah, my mistake and it’s noobish, I know). But it bothers me that Vas just takes less skill to be more effective than Aimee with maximum skill would be. That’s t****he problem now (especially during the merc rotation, I’ve had lvl 5s bodyshot me to death with PDP or MOA…).

I’ve always liked her more that Vas, and she always required more skill to play effectively, but by nerfing the rifles, they also indirectly nerfed her too. Who would want a lower hp merc with worse primaries and secondaries and with a harder to use ability? (Ignoring what you already proved up there as many players don’t actually take time to think on a deeper level about what’s better).

I know I sound aggressive about it, but I just get annoyed so much when I actually take time to learn how to use the mercs and develop skill, only to get bodyshotted by an auto-noob XD

the PDP is actually harder to use if you cant handle the recoil
it has been nerfed 3 times and now its nerfed again.

Oh come on, really? If you can’t handle the recoil of pdp then maybe COD is the game for you. PDP is kind of like the AWP in CS. The easiest to use weapon, point and click, you just go for bodyshots. It should be nerfed to 30-35 dmg per bodyshot, leave the spamability but nerf it so it deals 90 dmg on hs. There, problem solved. The noobs won’t 2 bodyshot aura and sparks and can only kill 90hp mercs if they get a lucky hs. It’s not supposed to beat a higher skilled player with a bolt action rifle 9/10 times by just spamming it. Are we forgetting this: Aimee with PDP is BS. Really, it deals 100 dmg per hs and 125 per hs if SNITCH-ed, which means it kill everyone except for Fragger, Thunder and Rhino. Yeah, and that’s totally not broken, no.

i kindly ask you to make a montage video where you do a 57 kill with PDP

honestly, MoA is even easier than PDP in terms of handling and speed and damage.

no, the most OP sniper in the game is vasilli if youre really good at sniping.

And no, people that are good with sniper rifles prefer Bolt action because higher pure damage per bullet.

I never said anything from that isn’t true, it’s just that PDP should be done like the autosnipers in CS for example, ok, but not really viable, everyone will just buy Scout or AWP. It’s not supposed to be that good, that’s the point.

And yeah, just like you said, Vas with MOA (or Fel-ix) is most op, due to 1 shot headshot (most of the times with some exceptions), mini pistols which are easier to use than regular pistols, tiny HS that acts similarly to WH and good overall hp. And that’s the point of the post. Since the snipers got nerfed already, all that is needed isto just buff the SNITCH to 30% debuff. That way Aimee actually has a use over Vas.

what, you want a weapon to be not good because…

memes? what?

Becaue a wepon that requires no skill shouldn’t be more effective than a higher skill weapon.

it has the highest recoil of all weapon
scope sway that goes faster than any other sniper rifle
shooting body is now very weak
nerfed magazine
weakest scoped sniper

all in all vasilli MoA handles better and requires lower skill to mantain shooting

-but muh fast follow up shots
better use bolt action so you dont need follow up shot and get one shot kill.

its a gun that has been artificially made harder to use even tho its main usage is nearly the same as dreiss AR.

Everything there is correct, and I know all of that already, but it’s the noobs who abuse the RoF and bodyshot dmg who annoy everyone. That’s the reason PDP is hated.

PDP requires less skill to use than bolt actions, and therefore it’s less viable.
You are not supposed to use it to get picks, it’s more of a support weapon, deal heavy damage to the enemies so your teammates can finish them off. You can still get picks with it but most of the time you won’t unless the enemy is dumb enough to peek you after the first shot (or they are a squishy or low on health).

Bolt actions are superior because you can 1 shot most mercs, BUT you get punished for missing shots. Especially if the enemy is closer range.

Just please continue this in PM’s or just add each other and have a chat about it. Or at least stop mentioning me : 3
