Is drilling overpriced?

[SneeZ]

Tell me what you guys think.

Personally I would take 150$ from its price and add it to dumdum ammo as it makes gun way stronger. For now uppermat is just better and cheaper and I see no reason for base drilling to be that expensive.

[123]

Kind of agree that drilling could have a price cut

It is a very decent option however as its time to kill with two consecutive shots is really small (if you manage to hit both)

[Der Guteste TTV]

Buff it until it is "worth" the current price.

[SneeZ]

It's true, but not much smaller than winfield with ironsight perk, not mentioning you can spam with levering on a medium distance. Krag with ironsight perk is also pretty close

[Echorion]

It is.

So is the uppermat.

I imagine we will see either a buff or a price reduction for both of them at some point.

I haven't had much of a chance with the drilling but I also honestly haven't come up against someone that made me respect it like a mosin or crown and king. I'm a little confused why its in that price range.

With how hard it hits and how fast the follow up shot is it is deadly as hell with dumdum. You get hit by it and if you don't stop the bleeding in 5 seconds you are dead. Hit someone , if they don't have immediate cover to get behind you can follow up shot them while they slow walk and stop the bleed, or if they are behind cover and within 30m of you you can close the distance and shotgun them in the 5 seconds it takes to stop the bleed.

A crown and king all you have to do is keep your distance. Crowns aren't scary at all. No shotguns are. Stay 20m away and they will either pepper you for 20 damage or be shooting at you with their pistol.

A mosin does more damage but the follow up shot with the drilling is so much faster the drilling will win every time if we are going body shots. Plus you are now heavy bleeding trying to return fire after getting aim punched. If you miss your follow up shot now you have bleed out without killing him.

been using drilling a lot its extremely over priced. slow to reload, cant reload all 3 rounds at once the dum dum ammo makes it the only gun with an extreme loss of velocity the spring only loses like 30 the drilling goes from 510 to 370 with dum dum. its more of a 200-300 dollar gun 510 is over kill especially if you want dum dum

To be fair I need to see the drilling with dumdum.
But I also don't think you understood what I said about respecting weapons. Everything you said about the crown and king is how to respect it. Meanwhile Mosin needs to be respected for its range.

Idk, maybe drilling dumdum slugs really is just that good, but the base gun seems to pricey for me.

[wololovalix]

YES! Drilling sould be arpound 125-200 and maybe 75-100 for the dumdum

[geordiebroon58]

it should be dropped to be more on par with something like the lebel id argue 325

although i havent had much of a chance to use it (since i dont actually own it) unlike most which are on about "its just a better lemat carbine" its more of a 2 round rifle with a built in romerro having 2 different large slot guns put into 1

the drilling its self is a 120 damage follow up rifle rather than having to wait on the bolt animation at the cost of using medium ammo which ofcourse limits its range

while the shotgun mode is a straight up on the go romerro whenever you need it

while this can be compared to the lemat carbine i dont think thats fair since the weapon is played differently with the only resemblence being the fact they both have a shotgun mode

if your going around using the drilling the same way you would use the lemat carbine your playing it wrong

[SneeZ]

The thing is, Drilling is not that strong. If you miss one shot you are screwed, its just slightly better romero. Also if you fight multiple enemies and teams you are also screwed, as you have only 3 bullets.

the shotgun is more of a backup yes its the main feature of the gun but its not the main weapon of the gun

you wouldnt run a lemat or the lemat carbine to run a shotgun so why would you with the drilling?

its ment to be played more like a rifle in case you havent noticed the defalt ammo has a mussel velocit of 540 where something like dumdum has only 300 (being more on par with the mosins fire rate)

the defalt ammo type is the equivalent of velocity ammo for a reason yes i dont think the firing speed of a rifle is enough to make up for the medium ammo drawback but i dont think this weapon should be cheap and the ammo types should be buffed a bit to be more on par with default velocity

if your using this weapon for the shotgun mode just use a shotgun or use the lemat carbine the drilling should be used at range despite the medium ammo drawback what it has over a bolt action rifle is the fact that you can land a second shot in at the same speed you could swaping to a pistol or a bit faster for that finishing blow and ofc the shotgun is a anti rush and allows you to use a shotgun when benifical

the lemat carbine playes well off the shotgun mode because after taging someone you can finish them off with the shotgun or hit first with the shotgun and finish em of with the compact rounds switching is quick and efficent and both modes require you to get in close

but the drilling has the range and minimum damage drop off to hit targets around 70m without a problem and if you get rushed you got a backup shotgun that is reliable and although yes you only get 1 shot its still capable of killing them from 10m away when they least expect it

i dont think the weapon is worth the price as i stated before but its defo stronger than people give it credit for im questioning if dumdu ammo is a good choice because the tradeoff on that mussel velocity sounds more like a downside than an upside people who suggest this are probably reading the weapon wrong or know how to lead their shots

[Sr.Armando]

cant agree more. i was about to make a post about it. vetterli cost between 100 to 200 dollars and winfeild cenntenial cost around 130 to 200. variants included. but drilling costs holdy 510. i know its a nice weapon with shotgun barrel but come on. like if u mix spectre and vetterli it will costs much less than 1 drilling. it should be 300$ max or 250$ is good with increased special ammo prices. 510$ is joke for med ammo gun and a romero barrel.

[SneeZ]

Yeah, I would understand the price if it was long ammo rifle, and spec ammo wouldnt have velocity so slow that you could aswell just run with a bullet in your hand instead of shooting it. Uppermat is just better in every way.

I understand it creates pressure but it has it's drowbacks, as long reload time and only 3 shots before you are vunerable for like 10 seconds before you finish reloading all barrels makes it HEAVILY skill based rifle, just like bomblance, romero or crossbow - high risk high reward if you land your shots.

Usually weapons that are made this way are not expensive as they dont give you much advantage since the shooter counts the most (caldwell conversion FMJ is the best weapon in the game if you only land headshots, but the gun itself doesnt give any advantage, it requires high skill to be good so its very cheap).

[Professor Elm]

Make medium ammo drop at 30m instead of 20, make Dumdum have a faster muzzle velocity, and decrease spread of the shotgun.
