Dreiss

(retief) #1

I’m not really sure how the dreiss is meant to be used at the moment. If you spam hipfire shots, its accuracy goes to shit and you can’t hit anything outside of extreme close quarters. If you slow down your hipfire shots to keep cof bloom under control, your dps drops to nothing. If you ads, the gun actually feels pretty good – you can output solid dps and the gun feels very accurate. Unfortunately, close to mid range is hipfire territory, and damage dropoff keeps the dreiss from being great at long range. Overall, I don’t feel like there is a good way to use the gun. It has the potential to be a good weapon, but you can’t use it effectively.

I have heard of two possible buffs. The first would be to massively buff the hipfire cof bloom. Revert the damage buff, maybe nerf the recoil, but let me hit something if I spam hipfire shots. At this point, it would actually be a viable midrange gun, and would fill a similar niche to the burstfire rifles. Kira/arty would end up with 3 very similar guns, but this would give redeye additional versatility. This is the option that I would vote for.

Alternately, remove or massively reduce the damage dropoff at range. If you need to ads to be effective, let it compete with the pdp/grandeur. This would give kira/arty a more versatile selection of weapons, but redeye’s guns would all look pretty similar.

Nah just give it 360 RPM back, they simply took it away randomly one day without leaving any explanation or anything.

That just seems like a really weird niche for the gun. High cqb dps on a mid-long range gun feels odd to me (I’d say the same for old burst rifles). I’m guessing that the dps made it viable to ads at mid-long range, but we can make the dreiss effective at longer ranges without giving it an advantage in cqb.

Don’t spam shots, tap them

The Dreiss wasn’t good at short range when it worked that way though, the spread eliminates any theoretical DPS. It was a good ADS gun which could do some really quick takedowns at mid-range and beyond, no one complained about it being OP and it’s striking difference from most other weapons made it more of a niche choice for specific playstyles. After the nerf it just became a noobstick.
