Give it Dragunov rate of fire. This will make it less forgiving. atm the HK SL8 is really forgiving with the low recoil, high mag size, high rate of fire and one hit headshot. This will make that not happen. basic.
It doesn't need a nerf, quit your bickering. I see very few people capable of using it because it takes quite a bit of skill to consistently hit headshots.
But it's a fully automatic sniper with no recoil and a high mag size. What part of that screams, "this guns hard to use" anyone with half a brain cell can use it
I use an AK-47. That much of a reduction is too punishing. But it does need a nerf, perhaps in a different way.
Requires the person to be consistent with headshotting. Someone who is skilled enough with an ak or another strong weapon is enough to punish users who can't headshot with the hk sl8. Also, the body shot damage is minimal compared to other guns that can input just as much damage to the body, but at a faster rate like the ak. Another gun to consider is the silenced pistol. It can do 69 damage to the body and capable of one-shot kill with a headshot as well. For who knows why a silenced pistol is capable of that much damage compared to an awp / rifle and how the mp7 is on par with the ak.
FYI the silenced pistol was nerfed recently to like 30dmg bodyshots. And you dont need consistency for SL8 cuz of how much you can just spam it
I think it should be kept fully automatic with either no one hits or a large increase in spread. My main problem with it is the extent to which it outclasses all the other snipers, making them functionally useless.
Its pretty crap on the body, in a fight you will prob lose if you fail to get that head shot before they kill you
But how can you not land headshots with a low recoil, high mag size, one shot headshot gun in a slow paced game like TTT?
This could probably be a good idea. Let's put it into perspective with the M16. They are basically the same exact weapon but the SL8 has the advantage of a scope. There needs to be some balancing that gives both weapons pros and cons but in my eyes, the M16 is just inferior.
