Sharpshooter Perk Skill "Ballistic Shock" too OP?

[MikaMangoMango]

Sharpshooter is obviously the class to dominate over larger zeds, as you know in killing floor 1.
Sharpshooter in killing floor 2 seems to have a regular weakness for trash zeds, especially prominent with the Gorefast, with its dodgey head movements and fast nature.

With the ballistic shock, trash zeds like the gorefast or the stalker are no longer a threat, being able to body shot them for a stun and then finish them off with a shot to the head (particularly good with the M14) Is this too OP for the sharpshooter? should stuns be nerfed to be less viable for trash zeds and still the same for larger zeds?

No. People don't realize that ss is only really good at high single target damage and does not manage well with largee groups. This game is much faster than kf1. In return ss needs a way to have some escape or else the zeds can just overrun him and ignore its dmg.

I don't know about that, if you have the fast reload speed skill, the rifle / EBR rips through trash.

And with the low ammo count, even with the ammo skill, you're going to be screwed when a Scrake or Fleshpound comes up and you've wasted all of your ammo on trash zeds.

Nope.I've seen many skilled SS with M14 on HOE acquiring the most kill counts as well as large zed kill counts, and I am one of them. Ammo is never a problem if you manage it well.
