Would a better bolt action rifle be considered?bolt action rifles now nerf a lot of damage.

Needs zoom scope and maybe a little more kick

didn't the damage for bolt action rifle go from 70 to 65 . it's still effective. The m14 would be my main if the sights were better (like the bolt action) and i could get rid of my mouse cursor that stays on my screen hindering my view of the target. That cursor thing is damn frustrating.

You need to do 200 dmg to kill most people late game (220 for the hardest), so it's the difference between one bullet and two (70*3=210, 65*3=195). (100% increase cost, unless you are close enough to switch to another weapon to finish him before he move/attack, but that's a gamble)

I find the .45 and the M14 best choice for damage. The Bolt action needs a scope. Not a red dot. Movement too slow aiming with red dot. I get hit 2 or 3 times trying to maintain targets while using it. Seems like the ole iron sites remain the best.

I do consider discussion about gun damage irrelevant at this point as most of the guns dont shoot where you aim, using HUD, Iron sights or Red dot sight. 9/10 People have no idea how to change mouse speed when zoom aiming, and honorary mentions goes to secondary fire option of most guns.
Shooting needs a major rework in this game.
