why does the VSS have so little dmg and ridiculous bullet drop??

yeah it's the weakest sniper but it's actually pretty strong in close- middle range combat

[Marechal Soult]

Due to the fact it's a 9mm weapon?... It has its uses, that being it comes already suppressed (and being 9mm, its suppressed nature is quieter than most snipers with a suppressor), and it has automatic capabilities for close quarters.

''Due to the fact its a 9mm weapon?'' the VSS shoots bullets bigger than all 9mm and 45acp weapons in the game as well as the SKS and AKM.. it shouldnt be THIS weak

Its meant to be the highest fire rate lowest damage sniper in the game, the stronger they are the lower the fire rate the weaker they are the faster they are

the game counts the VSS as a DMR and not a sniper...

Yeah, it's purely for balancing. The VSS was given tragic stats for the beast of a weapon that it actually is.

The guy who blames it on being a 9mm clearly knows nothing about guns or ballistics. It's a 9x39, meaning it has as much powder as an AK or SKS round, but with a much larger bullet. It's not a long range round, like all the other snipers, but it should hit as hard as any of the others. In all fairness, with it's actual stats it would be an incredibly overpowered weapon. The Spetznaz are fond of it for a reason, it should be a much more powerful weapon.

Still, once you get the hang of it, it's an incredibly versatile rifle. The accuracy and rate-of-fire more than make up for it's weak damage and insane bullet drop.

The only similarity is bullet diameter. The VSS is 9x39 which is considerably deadly.

id love to see the weapon have the same amount of dmg as the UMP45 and at least a little higher effective range... the gun is a built-in suppressor(ed) battle riffle/DMR like the DE LISLE with high ballistics bullets...

[mtjeeves]

It's a subsonic round. That's why. It's slow. tons of drop, like 300 whisper. It travels under the speed of sound. It never breeches 1125 fps.

VSS is best for still targets. Watch Jacky's video about properly using the sight for it, and you'll never miss somebody who's standing still again. Tap. tap. tap. tap. When the first bullet hits them you've just fired the last one. They usually don't survive.

I'd like to see 45 carbines etc. I'd like to see an mp5 in .22 that holds 150 rounds! I think a few more catagories could be fun. I mean, they're obviously not going for balance lol.

Wouldn't a .22 really be only good early game as the higher tier armors would seriously counter that?

MK14 's fire rate is high, and it's dmg is high, too lol

I don’t use it because it does high damage. I use it because it has tactical advantages. The enemy does not know from where you are shooting. And s confused enemy is an easy target. It’s so much fun to watch an enemy who is running around a tree because he doesn’t know where the save position is.

Maybe, but 150 rounds as fast as they can rip out the barrel. Even with significant dmg reduction, there's no recoil from the round etc. It would be a face melter in ccq
