    The SL8 is a weapon that provides no counter play. A high fire-rate, a large clip size, one shot headshots, and incredible range. There is no reason to use any other weapon on the server if you have the ability to aim, and you will find most players that have VIP loadouts are spawning with one. The server turns from an investigation based game to headshot wars when this weapon is used in high amounts. It creates a boring and stale game full of quick rounds and nothing but all out anarchy and toxicity. It makes the game much less fun. All other weapons are relatively balanced (save for a few examples like the double barrel). I'd like to hear opinions on the gun.

  4. SL8 is fine. a sniper headshots ooooh. Pistols can one shot, winchester can one shot headshot. and most automatic rifles are 2 shot headshot and if you know your spray control they are far superior. Shotguns are great in like 25 foot distance. They all have things they are good at.

    It's just on you to dodge the bullet or play in a style that doesn't make it easy to headshot?

    Everything is pretty well balanced and shouldn't get nerfed because a handful of good players know how to use a gun.

    Pistols that can one shot have 6-12 bullets and more end lag after a shot. Winchesters have extreme end lag so that you cant rapid fire. Automatic rifles have spray patterns and take 2 shots, which gives you valid counter play unless the gun is directly in your mouth. Shotguns are good in close range, you are correct in that statement.


    My point is that with the sl8 you don't need to use any other gun and it directly devalues every other gun. Its good in close, medium, and long range. When unscoped, it hits the center of the crosshair without fault. It shoots incredibly fast, much faster than the winchester can.


    Saying its on you to dodge the bullet is a moot point, thats applicable to every gun and isn't actually a valid tip. The only point I agree with that has substance is "play in a style that doesn't make it easy to headshot?" But that's ALSO my point. The sl8 promotes one singular playstyle and turns the server into headshot wars. If you find headshot wars fun, thats great, because there are plenty of other weapons that can do what the sl8 does that aren't as unbalanced.


    Everything is not pretty well balanced and I think it's dumb to assume it is. You don't have to be good to be able to use the sl8, but the good players just make the unbalanced state of the gun even more apparent.

    How can you even call it i sniper when it shoots so fast its basically just as viable as an AR at close range. Can someone link old threads talking about this so people dont have to repeat everything?

    people like to shit talk jump crouching but the SL8 is pretty much the entire reason why I do it. even then the gun has such a higher fire rate for a 1 tap weapon that it doesn't matter half the time.

    Anonymous1 do you know how it feel to feel alone VIP Bronze

    I mean if you crouch jump and move right, it’s harder to hit headshots on you, but the sl8 is still pretty broke. Tbh, all the gun needs is a nerf to the fire rate so it actually takes some skill to one shot people and be precise.

    I have always switched between thinking the gun needs some sort of nerf, to thinking it is fine. However, it seems there is always at least 2 people in a server now that main the SL8. It insta melts, and even though there are other guns that can one shot no problem, its mag capacity and scope make it a litttttle too much imo.

    it actually was nerfed, but they couldn't fix the crashes so they rolled back the entire update

    I have been gone a while, so I am not sure I was aware of the nerf prior to rollback.

    I'm assuming this thread was talking about the current build, so whatever I say has to do with how it is currently.

    yeah, this is talking how it currently is, just wanted to point out that it actually was nerfed once, but the entire update got rolled back, along with the nerfs/buffs.

    btw KAC PDW is far more OP Than SL8 because of the low spread and low recoil
    its even better than SL8 in my opinion

    Rice must be laughing his balls off that he inspired a thread about the removal of a gun

    If you find yourself getting butthurt over skilled people who can headshot with the SL8, know that they can use a variety of similar weapons instead and get headshots with those lol
