i suggest we give the FEL-IX 160 headshot damage (or more, like 180 or something) to be able to oneshot thunders. this will set the felix apart from the moa more. bodyshot damage is annoying but ok, as medics getting oneshot is too op.
yes i am biased, the FEL-IX is my favorite weapon.
please give the FEL-IX instagib
It should have more magazine size too because right now it has disadvantages on every aspect compared to the MOA except for the extra 4 damage, which pretty much still requires headshots for all mercs to one shot them so it almost is no use. Buffing the damage and probably magazine size would be nice.
the FEL-IX already has 1 more bullet, i think that is enough, but maybe 2 more than the MOA is an idea. the main thing about the FEL-IX is damage, so we need more and more of it.
being able to oneshot rhinos is an idea. but that would get the FEL-IX in the OP category, hence capping it at 180 or so.
just dont make the most powerfull sniper have to go for his secondary when headshotting someone 
Don’t like 80 damage on bodyshots though. 160 on headshots however sounds good. Maybe just tweak the HS multiplier on the FEL-IX to do 160 damage. Or do something else, but they have to do something cause it’s just a shitty MOA right now. That 4 extra damage is absolutely useless, and the reduced RPM just reduces the KPM against every merc in the game in 99% of situations.
like i said, bodyshots are annoying but ok, as oneshotting medics would be too OP
the thing is that the moa and the felix keep getting buffed the same way
MOA: scope time from 1,4 to 1,2 sec
FEL-IX: scope time from 1,6 to 1,4
same with the reload time,
and magazine sizes are also updated the same,
first it was 5 FEL-IX, 6 MOA, then it became 6 FEL-IX, 5 moa, and now its 7 FEL-IX, 6 moa.
they need to do some major thing to the felix to set it apart, going to 160 headshot is a start,
thanks for the support btw
Yeah, but bodyshots at 80 are not just annoying, they’re not ok, that would be stupid. It would not only make the FEL-IX OP as fuck, but it would also make the MOA useless. We don’t want to just switch which sniper is viable, we want them to differentiate and both be viable.

In fact, it might be even better if we REDUCED the headshot multiplier of the MOA down to 1.9x damage (as opposed to 2x) - that way the MOA can no longer 1 shot Fraggers, but the FEL-IX still can. Might be a step too far though - would be better to do one change at a time.
Mate stop participating in conversations about weapons and mercs whose stats you still haven’t figured out - the MOA has LESS rounds in a mag than the FEL-IX, and has done for at least 2 months. You’re just going to mislead people.
Why not just buff Aura and Sparks health to 85 and their speed decreased respectively and bring back the damage for the Felix back to 80 if instantly downing a close-range focused merc and a merc that can counter snipe is too much because the data used to nerd the rifle was at a time where the meta was to pick Aura due to how faster her healing stationed healed, how quick it was to regain, how much health it had and how there was not a single other explosive oriented merc to use against her indoors besides Fragger?
@Litego if 160 head shots is what you’d want and SD is only going to make guns do double damage on head shots, it’d have to be 80 a body shot, where only 2 mercs could die of in 1 hit, Aura and Sparks, the Felix was nerfed due to Aura being the go to merc because her healing station was too effective, besides the 4 more damage and 1 more bullet all other stats wise the Felix is worse than the Moa.
i forgot the headshot works with multipliers, makes sense now that people think i also want to get the bodyshot damage of the FEL-IX higher.
Great ideas @ProfPlump and @Redcap
I don’t think the devs would want to change headshot multipliers for different guns, it’s bad enough that Sparks revives people slower than the rest.
