Didn’t catch any changes in the log but since the patch the gun has been behaving really odd. Most of the time its accuracy is on the dot but there are occasions where a spread gets introduced even when completely still.
Ive got 1 slight video of it

So it wasn’t just me going crazy. I thought that a couple of my shots were totally off where I was pointing.

Well I guess that’s a start to nerf the damn thing. Hope it’s not a bug and they actually introduced some spread to it.
That gun is just insanely OP. Don’t get me wrong, it takes some getting use to using it, but it’s 1 shot to the head fire rate is faster than sniper rifles, it can hipfire while doing so, and essentially becomes a semi-auto sniper rifle when firing quickly (again, one that can hipfire). Also, if you don’t charge it up all the way, and go “semi-auto” with it, it kills in like 2-3 shots for most mercs.
The only downside to Sparks is a lower hp pool, but she has the speed which becomes extremely beneficial when trying to “out-snipe” someone.
I don’t mind her having somewhat decent killing power, but she shouldn’t be able to snipe better than vassili. That just feels unfair. Maybe keep the 1 shot killing power, but make it to where it needs to recharge after doing so…
Just my opinion I guess. Most Sparks users would get pissed and hate the idea.

Same here, random shoots that go to the sky.
Not caring about community opinion is a thing. Making thief like nerf/buff is an other and is unbelievable.
Sparks doesn’t need any change, neither does its Revive Gun.
It’s a skilled merc, her weapon needs a lot of training to become an annoying one. So their are few of them in game, as good vassilis, who are usually only noobs unable to play in team or to land a headshot without luck.
