Felix up ?

Well hi everyone, I hope this post will be seen by dirty bomb developers :slight_smile:
So I had a long talk with my friend about aimee on whether she’s good or not and we came to the same conclusion : she is but the Felix seems like a “bad weapon overall” so we thought of a buff. Yeah I know at the beginning the Felix used to do 80 damages but you nerfed it to 79. But hey guys, why would you choose a sniper with less ammo, a slower fire rate, slower reload speed and higher recoil than the moa snpr-1 (for vassili)? Basically they are the same snipers but one is way better than the other (maybe there’s something I don’t know about it).
So we talked about how we could make it more reliable and practical for vassili and aimee as well. So we took our calculator and we did some math (even though I really HATE math!). First we tried with only one damages as it was before but yes it can one shot sparks and aura in the body but with aimee you’d do that with her snitch so we thought it wasn’t enough but if we increased damage even more it would be too op but we felt like we had to, so we went to 90 damages but given all the characters that would get one shot it was too op. So we took in consideration the snitch debuf (about 25%) and with the Felix it wasn’t doing enough damages (100). We wanted it to kill 110 hp mercs so we did calculations and we came to the perfect number : 88. Yeah it seems like a lot of damages but it’s not over yet, we will talk about nerfs afterwards. With this amount of damages, you’d be able to one-shot (with snitch) every 110 hp mercs and without, you could one-shot sparks and aura which is great and all 90 hp mercs would get 2 hp (Kira, proxy, aimee). Then you can one-shot headshot thunder instead of leaving him with 2 hp. Finally with vassili you still can’t one-shot headshot rhino. Instead, you would leave him with 24 hp so 2 bullets of deagle (aimee) and one with the revolver (vassili) at 19 meters (maybe the damage can drop below 24 at a long distance, I don’t know the real numbers). So yeah it quite op BUT it was too op but we were happy with the damages so we tried an other way to nerf it. Maybe decreasing the movement speed with it and decrease the ammo capacity by one would be enough to make it really nice to use.
So what do you think about is please give me your answers :slight_smile:
