I suggest adding a bit more recoil. This will require more skill from the user without taking away its full potential.
I dont think the clip size nerf would do much tbh. 10 shots with the firerate it has is plenty to spam with, and seeing as you can just buy more SL8s instead of reloading it kinda makes it the exact same as before. I would definitely either lower the firerate and add recoil (making it more of a sniper) OR reduce the headshot multiplier to 270% (making it more of an assault rifle. Still 2 hit kill headshot, but less effective at close-medium range)
Keep it as a sniper rifle seeing as it has a built in scope. Reduce magazine size, ROF as a sniper would be.
I mean personally ive always dreamed of a super accurate AR with low fire rate, kinda like the vanilla M16 but can actually hit things.
Another tactic is to leave the sl8 exactly as it is, and send it the way of the dubble bubble barrel, and remove it from point shop and loadouts.
+1 Please nerf it. I was on a t round yesterday, was full health against a guy with 20. I go up the elevator on Albatross to the top of the tower, and I enter the small room, the guy is on my left, I start spraying and he one-shot headshots me and wins the round. *EDIT* Maybe I'm just bad, but I got maybe 1 or 2 shots on him before I died.
Furthermore, the gun is a bit silent for how big of a threat it is. Why is a wimpy bolt action rifle get to be ear bleed inducing, but a one hit rifle that's auto get to be a bit silent? This just further reduces the risk of using this weapon.
