[Long story short - we give her a bolt action sniper (modelled after the FR F2 French sniper rifle) that deals less damage per shot than the MOA/FEL-IX, but it has a 3x headshot multiplier instead of the 2x. And maybe give her an FN57 pistol as well, which also could be given lower damage than the M9/Selbstadt, but a 3x headshot multiplier. Both of these suggestions would give Aimee the ability to use guns that require much more skill, but offer a little bit extra reward. Please read on if you are interested, or if you’re going to disagree with me at least hear me out first]
So we’re still not confirmed on what special gun Aimee will be given (or if she will get one at all), but I would love to see her being given the FR F2 sniper rifle - a gun that is built and used by the French.
(In case you guys don’t know, Aimee is French).
The FR F2 is a bolt action rifle, so it could be similar to the MOA but here is my suggestion on how it could be implemented so that it isn’t just a carbon copy of the MOA with a some insignificant tweaks (like the FEL-IX has become).
The FR F2 could be given a higher damage multiplier from headshots with a much lower damage per bullet. So for instance, if instead of a 2x multiplier for headshots she gets a 3x, but her damage per bullet is only 55. That way the player will still be able to 1 shot headshot all mercs (except Rhino) BUT she HAS to go for those headshots, whereas the MOA can still be effective in bodyshotting weaker mercs and then finishing them off with a MP400/Tolen MP.
So, just to recap - give it only 55 damage per shot, but a 3x multiplier headshot, and maybe give it less scope sway than the MOA and FEL-IX give, so that it does have an advantage over those two rifles.
I’d also be really interested to see Aimee get access to her own personal sidearm - an FN57 (since that’s also a French gun). It could also have the same “higher headshot multiplier, lower damage” kind of vibe as the FR F2 so that it rewards people for being more accurate with headshots, but punishes them a little if they can only make bodyshots.
So, in comparison with the M9, the FR F2 could deal 12 damage per shot (M9 has 15), but give it a 3x headshot multiplier so that it can deal 36 damage to the head (whereas the M9 can only deal 30).
(But at the same time it would be nice for Aimee to also have access to other rifles such as the PDP-70 or the Dreiss AR so that less skilled players don’t complain about her being too hard to use)
