The sniper is so laughably OP

[Smufius]

Uses same amount as assault rifle, so you always have over 100 bullets on you.
Kills most enemies in 1 shot.
Perfect accuracy even without scope.
Fast rate of fire making zooming and careful stealth use worthless.
Even on Oblivion difficulty all of the above applies. This weapon makes the rest of the arsenal null in terms of firepower and utility. It's the perfect weapon for every single situation.

Apart from the RPG vs Napalm Cannon, most of Joseph's weapons are better than Danielle's. The Fireswarm shotgun and Firestorm Cannon are just a waste of ammo.

They could have made the sniper have a different ammo type.

Yep, this would be the best way to balance it. Game has lots of powerful weapons so nerfing it would be bad design.

Agreed. Too bad Danielle is more fun to play because you don't need to think about slowly crouching or using the nightvision goggles that hurt my eyes.

The crossbow weapon is OP as hell. On hard difficulty the level 4 boss went down at half health. or rather its health bar disintegrated and and it only registered half empty before the kill shot

Agreed, the crossbow is way too powerful as well. Didn't realize it at first because I didn't use the bows at all on first playthrough.

or just so it consumes 10-15 ammo per shot, so a total of 10 or 15 total shots before you're out.

the fireswarm is a shame because it is good...against targets actually weak to fire, so many are resistant to it late in the game including the death grunts/guards which is a bulk of what you'll be killing at the end. Shredders effect is objectively better because it completely stuns the enemy and you dont have to worry about hurting yourself if the target is too close.

Id even argue RPGs projectile takes too long to get speed making napalm cannon a faster firing and better alternative
tek bows AoD is nice and doesnt require proper aiming but storm crossbow is just stronger
yea fireswarm eats ammo thats the main concern while shredder stuns everything but bosses which is OP.
Firestorm cannon is super stong but empty after 5 seconds and sniper is a 150 shot 1 hit wonder
the cerebral burst is the same as processor just on the processor you get to control making it just that much better
Id say silenced pistol is useless with ahving bow and crossbow while mag60 has some niche usage, id argue thats danielles only clear win in term of weapons
RPG does more damage tho than napalm or?

playing danielle just feels worse overall tbh, shes slower as well iirc? jump dodging is nice tho
