Buff the Fabricated sniper rifle?

[Son Savage]

As of now the fabricated sniper rifle does 81 less damage than the longneck rifle, and broke extremely fast, which seems ridicolous because this thing is supposed to be more sturdy and powerful than the longneck rifle (I mean people don't fight wars with muskets at this modern era huh). So right now I don't see any use for this weapon, It needs a serious damage and durability buff.. the crafting cost would be completely fine if it wouldn't require to almost be re-crafted all the time. I don't find the auto-fire to be really fascinating enough to make up for all this ridiculousness.

Oh boy, this thread again.

I think it's about them trying to balance all weapons against each other so they don't want the long neck ot the machined snipe to be more powerful then each other and the machined has a better rate of fire... but balances will be tweaked all throughout the alpha.

And armor doesn't seem to be made with that balancing in mind also it's it's hard to find consistency.

It's very true that things should be balanced and will be tweaked later a lot too. But the fabricated sniper is all around a far worse choice for the field than the longneck right now, I do not think they (atleast hope they didn't) want it to be like that, since it's in a lot higher craft tier

Extreme example would be making a wooden bat better than a laser sword or so

Didn't see another discussion like this on the front page, and since this is a fairly new patch and this seems broken to pieces, would it not hurt to discuss it?

it is kinda week not gunna lie, the higher rate of fire dose make up for it but it falls under the same catagory as the compound bow now. useful on sertin servers. i'd be happy if both the durrablity was dubbled and the damage kept the same but oh well, tell darts and improved to be a clear advantage over a master craft cross with narco arrows the same thing applies, howerver if theres are suppose to be alternative ways then they are fine as is. kinda disspointing though.
