Kar 98 should not be a 1 shot kill with level 2 gear and full meds. My opinion.

[Bloodydemon]

Had 100% health had bullets for days, had a medkit had 6 first aids 5 pain killers and 3 red bulls, 6kills. And it looked like i was gonna win so i med up fully to ensure precise aim. BOOM headshot insta death even though i took precautions to med up -__- Shouldn't painkillers/red bulls prevent that? i feel like there is very little counter play against the kar98 atm unless you get a level 3 helmet. I feel like there should be more options to surviving the kar98 insta headshot. Also it makes the M24 kinda useless, i understand it has less bullet drop and more damage for body shots but honestly i think i'd be running towards air drops more often if the M24 was the insta headshot killer and not the kar 98. I see only 2 options nerf the kar98 to do 99dmg or it least not 100dmg when you're fully medicated, make level 3 helmets more common. I vote for the former. What are your opinions?

Case closed

case re-opened sorry im confused. So the person who headshotted you with the assult rifle shouldnt get the kill? even if you had an AR you would probably still die in that situation im sorry you were in a bad spot and in the open, your car was in a tree and u were caught with your pants down. now the case is closed

well your argument is that i should learn to play. I countered with having more wins (14 split between solo, duo and squad) to justify that i know more than the average person about how to play the game. Your dad comment just deters from the argument. honestly the whole thing is a red herring to the issue that the kar98 is unbalanced compared to the other weapons.

Sithis. i have screen shot where i died looting it's only happened once in my 200ish games. I'm a very agressive player i average 4-7 kills. When you face a nooby sniper it very easy to kill them even with a pistol im not saying it's not. It's when you meet the people who know what the zeroing function is on the scope that you run into a brick wall. Hey im not a saint i use the kar98 and ive gotten 12 kills in squads just by using it. I just find it a bit unfair that i can get 1 tapped from miles away even though ive searched HIGH AND LOW literally for a level 3 helmet for the distict reason to not get 1 tapped by a kar98, just for it to happen anyway. I want more counterplay why is that being hit with so much resistence? Am i the only one that thinks the kar98 is unbalanced compared to the other weapons??? At a certain level mostly top 10 moving erratically will end up getting you killed and/or still sniped by the good sniper (aka me ive been called a hacker when someone was jumping stuipidly crazy and i hit him in the head). Moving is not counterplay for the kar98. Making Meds such as the painkiller and redbull deciding factor maybe. Nerfing it probably would help. making lvl 3 helmets more common would also help but make the game a camp fest the whole point of being aggro is to get the better loot to be able to kill the nooby camping people who still have lvl 1 gear.

Zeroing can only get you so far, and as somebody who'd spent about 500hours in ArmA as a marksman/sniper/spotter roles, I'd say, it's next to useless when it comes to movement predictions. And out of those, the hands-down worst case is a target that randomly changes directions as it goes, good luck hitting that. Just two days ago, played with two friends. Got pinned down by a group occupying a house some ~250 meters away from us, one of them had a sniper rifle, the other two - AK and M16 with ACOGs. Well, some suppressive fire, control, and careful zigzagging, and we were at the house's door, and smoking them out was only a matter of a few well-placed shots and a grenade.

Again, even against a good sniper, zig-zagging (the less predictable you are, the better) is, well, not OP, per se, but can definitely get you out of harm's way. Worked in OpFp, worked in Armed Assault, worked in ArmA2-III, worked in Planetside, works in any game with non-hitscan snipers, works here.

[Bloodydemon]

still the kar 98 is unbalanced compared to lets say the sks. Which should have similar bullet pen like the kar98. Yet it only does 75dmg to a lvl 2 helmet. IDC if you think zig zaging is a solid stategy (i still disagree with you heavily on this btw) to the Kar98. anyway im done with this discussion im clearly the minority here. I thought people would agree with me and with my experience and wins in this game. But, alas it seems clear to me that i must be in the wrong.

I disagree.

Kar is already weak. AKM makes a better sniper than it. It can fire faster. Kar needs to be 1 shot, considering the recoil and speed of reload. If you hit with Kar once, you will be hit in return with AKM twice and killed, if both have ie. ACOG.

This game isn't meant to hold your hand. It's a harder version of battle royale. If you want easy, H1Z1 is where you need to be.

[GrBD]

Headshot with any sniper, with atleast up to lvl 3 helm, should be insta kill. Headshot with sniper should be lethal..

[Druckmaster7000]

why are u talkin with that guy ? the dont change his mind ... let him cry about the kar98 because he is a noob and cant get over it. The Kar98 is good as it is and and the other weapons too. Deal with it or go and play H1Shit1.

[CostcoEmployee]

Are you really crying about a sniper headshotting you?

[Pogny]

Killed AFK people on kar98 500m+ needed 3 shots to kill them.

Kar98 needs to deal more than SKS. Kar need to one shot lvl 1 and 2 helmet and 2 shoots lvl3 Helmet...

only AWP must one shot lvl 3 helmet.

and I dont speak about duo/squad I would like snipers headshot insta kill people without rez possible.

I think maybe i didn't make my argument properly i either want the kar98 nerfed so it follow the other guns (no other gun is a 1 shot, even another sniper the sks) or make all assault rifles and the sks 1 shot. I think either or would fix the problem

Wait? Why would the sks need to deal less damage?? No it needs to the same. And in duo if no rez then it should be for all guns. You guys make it sound like sniper rifles has more killing power than a other guns? Reality check! It doesnt.

Yes and other guns should tickle your feet? Both snipers and assault rifles have similar killing power in real life so i dont get why the kar98 is so much more powerful, it's unbalanced.
