Marksmen Rifles Are Hot Garbage

[Lecruidant]

Literally ZERO reason for them to be a thing. All they do is hit marker left and right. A Sniper can just do what they do but actually be effective. IT's wild

[Captain Wolf]

I have trouble with these guns too, but I haven't leveled them up all the way. I'm curious if they are better then.

[Toxic Coffee]

yeah, only useful at some specific scenarios

[Kuladhar Dorabjee]

IDK what you're talking about man, if anything they're pretty OP, try out the lockwood

[Critaa]

SP-R hits pretty hard

[p00se2]

been running sa-b non stop pretty much


fairly reliable 1shot kills
(gotta aim properly)

[Lothliranoc]

They are strong, but you will need to adjust play-style to suit.

One specific gun in the entire line up does not warrant the entire lineup being "OP". I've hit people in HC with them (Damage Range attachments on as well) and gotten hit markers. Obviously has happened in Core too but still. This shouldn't be happening on weapons that have a bolt animation in general against AR's that have infinite range.

There are 2 SP-R and the SP-R 50 definitely hits like a wet noodle

[[Soa]The_Last_UtopianTTV]

marksmen are strongest T1 weapon. 1 shot anyone anywhere on body anywhere on map while still being mobile

Just finished them all to platinum, and they wreck quite well if you know how to kit them out....i'm also used to wrecking fools with single shot rifles from COD 1, UO, and 2...so when I start a camo challenge in COD, the BRs, MRs, and Snipers are usually where I start.

Are you joking? Lockwood Mk2 and SA-B 50 are the one of the best weapons in the game.

Insanely fast ADS speed and sprint to fire speed and 1 shot potential at any range in 6v6.

They were nerfed but they're still stupid good. Why use a sniper when you have these guns that do everything a sniper does but faster? Hell even the semi-autos (TAQ-M, EBR-14 and LM-S) still 1 hit kill to the head. And in T1? Shreds anything the bullet touches.

You just need to build them for speed and you need have to have decent aim with a decent reaction time. That's all it requires.

Go use the SA-B 50 in Core Shoot House and tell me how many 1 shots you get snap firing not counting Headshots. "Decent Aim" has nothing to do with the gun having both damage and velocity attachments on and STILL just getting hit markers, hell even at damn near point blank range.

The game's crap hit registration isn't helping either.

[Miciso]

battle rifle is even worse.
single shot gives you more bullet damage.
while full auto reduces damage.
now if u got one of those cool macro mouses :) full damage and full auto

[Frogge]

They suck. Shame too cus MW2019 did them well. Loved the lever gun in that game.
