I don’t think the grandeur is imba on paper but i’d like to see it changed.
Lower it’s rpm to 160 from 225 and raise it’s damage to 50 from 40.
This will lower the dps to 8000 from 9000, but it will make headshots one tap 100 and 90 hp mercs. Kick would be easier to control, which is a meh change.
IMO the scope zooms in too far for a rifle and I find that I have to flick shots to kill anything close.
The biggest issue with the grandeur is its terrible sights. When there was a command to remove gun model, it got alot of use in comp.
i only ever use grandeur hipfire. after dozens of hours you can get the timing right and engage people at midrange. at point blank almost full rof spamming is very effective as well
I think the Grandeur should be stronger stats-wise than the PDP-70 (so we give it a buff to 50 damage and drop its firerate to the same as the PDP’s), but should also be harder to use (by keeping its awful recoil and crappy sights). At the moment the PDP beats the Grandeur in every situation since it is so much easier to aim and control. Since Redeye is such an underpowered merc, it would be good to see him get a choice of gun that can rival the PDP (or perhaps even the MOA).
The only issue with the SR at the moment, in my opinion, is that hitting an arm or a leg does not do the same damage as a shot to the torso. - If this is fixed, the gun would be much safer to use.
I’m blanking on the testing-results at the moment, but it was enough that 1 headshot 1 bodyshot didn’t always confirm a kill on some of the medium-hp mercs. (Someone can correct me if I’m wrong.)
