Zeal Marksmen

[TheBlue22]

They should either add lazers to their rifles or reduce their damage. They are extremely unbalanced.

How so? They're like just normal snipers that run around through the map now. They don't even have their One Down HP, so they are easy to deal with.

They insta down the milisecond they see you and are hard to spot in a crowd

Not really. Their acc is quite bad, even the normal drunken snipers hit me more than them and it's fairly easy to spot a Zeal unit out of the other cops.

they are wearing zeal armor and the others are wearing gensec/fbi uniforms

tbh I agree with blue here

I beg to differ. From my experience they insta-down me the second they spot me and on more darker maps with lots of spawns they do not really stand out next to the have gen-secs

Shoot faster then. And the digital camo from the GenSecs looks way different than the ZEAL armor, even in darker maps you can see the difference.

Not really possible when there are 100 cops looking at me at the same time

Then git gud. Crime Spree is all about that it gets harder the further you come.

It's badly implemented like the rest of the other unit modifiers. Zeal Marksmen are not supposed to deal the same damage as normal Snipers, they're supposed to negate armor gating while behaving like MFRs, except with a lower rate of fire.

Whoever coded them in just cloned the m14_sniper used by Sniper units (now with a different sound), which is not what was stated to be intended multiple times on the preview stream. They acknowledged it though, so we'll see what happens.

The low health they have also applies to the two new Dozers types, so that's a bug, they're intended to have OVERKILL base health, not Normal (the Minigun Dozers is supposed to have even more). Regardless, the fact that all of these issues + Captain Shields not counting towards Shield spawn limits and spawning up to 17 (?) remain unfixed is just stupid.
