Favorite sniper rifle?


(kAndyREW) #1

Hey guys,

Just curious on what your thoughts are for your favorite sniper rifle for Vassili? Right now there are only two (?) Bolt actions in the game, the MOA SNPR-1 and the Fel-ix

I know the stats differences and all that between the two, but I’m just curious which ones is YOUR preference?

PDP is actually secretly OP, not many use it but in the right hands its way too strong. The Fel-Ix is just a downgrade of the MOA. No real difference in damage but everything else about it is worse.

MOA SNPR-1 > felix

yeah that’s the impression i got.

YES i love the pdp haha. I did a loadout review with the pdp, had a great time

I prefer the Felix over the MOA, because of the extra damage
I do enjoy using the PDP but can never seem to get a good load out with it I trade up and always get MOA and Felix irons so I gave up and got a lead from a case and that’s the one I use XD

The extra damage means nothing when the only way to be effective in the game is to headhunt. You still have to hit two body shots to kill with either the Moa or Fel-ix. Both oneshot gib everyone but Rhino. So the damage difference is a statistical difference only and rarely ever matters in game. The logic behind that is if you killed somebody with the FEL IX that had low enough HP to die to it but not to the Moa doesn’t mean much because anybody using the Moa in that situation would have immediately switched to the machine pistol and killed. You lose a small amount of time in those particular situations compared to using a better overall weapon the entire rest of the time you’re playing.

The Moa fires faster, has an extra round in the mag before reload and it has access to better augments. So there really isn’t much of a debate as to which is the better gun unless you go off of aesthetics because the FEL IX looks fantastic.

The PDP is pretty good to lock down areas/people with and can be used more effectively as a hipfire weapon in some situations. Spamming people down with it is pretty effective.

I still use semi auto sniper because i cant aim for crap :smiley:

The MOA since it actually feels a little skilled when using it, unlike the PDP. Also instagibs from full hp in one shot are no joke and can out right win a wave battle before it has begun.

@Amerika I still prefer it even if there isn’t much of a difference, it feels better Imo than the MOA. And the extra dmg is better than swapping to the mp shooting 15 bullets to kill someone when ammo could be conserved with one sniper bullet


(Ghosthree3) #10

Er I think you’ll find it’s closer to 1-2 bullets from the mp to make up for it.

Fel-ix and the MOA…they literally have the same stats, they just feel different.


(Ghosthree3) #12

Um what. The Fel-ix has double the firing interval rate and an increased reload time while dealing only 7 more damage - numbers might be slightly off.

It’s not even a competition, the MOA just wipes the floor with it.


(DMaster2) #13

FEL-IX for me. I’ve tried so hard to use the MOA, but i just can’t feel it right. The FEL-IX is a whole different feel and i love it.


(DMaster2) #14

This pretty much. MOA may be superior technically but i’ll never use it instead of the FEL

The MOA may be the best gun stat wise but it’s not the absolute best, myself and a few others prefer the FEL-IX over the MOA

Not everything has to be stats

I genuinely have no idea cuz the stats appear in a gauge form, not numbers sadly :confused:


(Ghosthree3) #18


See the weapon stats page. I had it backwards though, the reload time is doubled and the fire rate is increased slightly.

Since they’re both pin point accurate I can think of no reason to use the Fel.

You can have the opinion that you like it the best. That’s totally fine. However, I’ve stated the facts as to why the Moa is the superior gun and it’s not really debatable from that standpoint. I’m not telling you that you shouldn’t use the FEL IX if you like it however. Have fun with what you enjoy.

The Fel-ix sounds sooo good
