BR-17 needs to be nerfed...

(xRoger) #1

The BR-17 does too much damage per burst, has amazing hipfire and a tiny burst delay.

You can drop enemies far quicker because your bullets do so much more damage, and the hipfire is too tight.

I suggest:

-Nerf hipfire to be the same as Arty’s semi-auto weapon after one burst…
-Buff so that the ironsight has no shake or recoil, to make it a more ADS-style weapon…
-Nerf ammo count to 20.
-Buff reload speed to make it reload much, much faster

The thing is far too strong with 27 rounds, no recoil, high damage and barely any hipfire spread. It completely outclasses all other fully auto weapons in the game. Heck, even the MG turret.

I know it’s not much proof so to speak, but please have a look at:

I’m a pretty good player with decent aim and I’m able to do this much damage:

With other weapons, you can’t stack suck quick headshots in succession and do so much damage.

It got nerfed already in this patch and the burst mode is the downside to the overall strongness of the weapon. It is indeed very powerful from long distances. But as far as I used it, it will lose against any similar assault rifle in close combat style fights. Putting heavy amounts of headshots is perfectly possible with the others when you get a decent aiming too.
But I do agree, there’s some minor adjustments to do on main weapons, but they are by far not important compared to what they have to do right now I guess…

Yep I understand it got nerfed already, but the DPS per burst is still too high as the range nerf was insufficient. You can generally beat fully auto weapons a lot faster than they can land a hit on you. It shouldn’t excel that much in mid range. I also wholeheartedly disagree, it’s the strongest CQC weapon in the game atm because of its high bodyshot and ESPECIALLY headshot damage.

I still feel it needs a tweak. It completely outclasses Arty’s main semi auto weapon.

I used to think this gun was op, until I started using the k121

The K121 still doesn’t have as much DPS. Ammo count is great, but DPS is lacking.
