officer carabine is the new avto
been seeing a ton of them in 5 - 6 star since this patch, personally i thought the officer carabine was fine before the patch but now it feels like that half of the lobbies are all using that weapon. no idea why crytek decided to nerf one spam weapon just to replace it with another spam weapon. hunt should reward good aim not spam.

if you dont kill the enemy officer carabine with your first shot, he will shoot your 3 times by the time you can fire your 2nd shot.

If somebody can consistently land 3 shots on you before you f off into cover - they deserve the kill. :huntbounty:
The carbine fires three shots in one second. You won't have time to take cover unless you're a Tracer from Overwatch. And it's not about hitting all three, it's more about three attempts to take a headshot, which is much more reliable and easier.

As you could probably get from my previous message, again, that situation's fine by me.

Yes, it's a strong weapon. Very strong. Top-tier.

Is it ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ like Avto was (and is)? No.

Is Carbine being strong a problem? No, not really.

Does it need a nerf? Maybe. Maybe not. I'm fine with it as it is personally.

Will it get nerfed? Yes, most likely quite soon.

Increase the price to 600, ez. This way people will just buy long ammo and dolche instead.

Balancing a weapon around money is dumb, high elo players will never struggle with money. Avto costs a ton and yet you still saw it people use all the time before the nerf.

The difference is avto could 2 tap at like 80 meters, and for cost is was worth it. If you make officer carbine cost 600, might as well take any other gun. Take the winfield, shotgun, etc.

The only thing officer carbine has atm is being a headclicker spam weapon. I think it is an a good spot balanced wise, but I haven't used it since buff.

Also nerfing carbine won't do much, people will just use other RNG options / ROF guns.

maybe actually test some weapons first before writing about weapon balancing.

its way to easy to get money in hunt (which is not necessarily a bad thing), i know plenty of players that have 100k+ cash and many that even when playing expensive meta stuff all the time still make money. balancing around money wont fix anything and everyone that plays the game actively will tell you the same. the only players a money nerf would hit are low elo players while high elo players play whatever they want.

the officer is almost as good as a shotguns (as long as they dont miss with their first shot) in close range (15 meters) while still being strong enough to beat most loadouts at mid range (100 meters).

Definitely the strongest 3-4 tap, must nerf.

Not to mention is indirectly more powerful due to all points of interest being in compounds. the game pushes close quarters combat that way if you want to make progress.

I rather get killed by a carbine inside a compound than a shotgun. Feels much fairer.

Since when is it unfair that a shotgun kills with one shot at 15 meters? I realize you're frustrated when you get killed by a single body shot, but it's a shotgun at the end of the day. It is completely useless beyond 15 meters.

If somebody gets a headshot from the third shot they're mashing out of the carbine they deserve it with all that recoil. You are complaining about the most fair and least obnoxious part of the weapon, if they're just going for headshots and not bodyshotting you why are you not headshotting them back?

And then immediately after complaining that someone who can manage the recoil of the carbine and get a headshot is unfair, you wonder why someone doesn't like the "oneshot someone with no aim at all" weapon.

1. I didn’t say that somebody who gets headshot don’t deserve it. If you're playing with no 3rd party software, every kill is deserved
2. The recoil of the weapon is easily controlled. If you play a couple games in a row with a carbine you won't notice it at all.
3. As I've written before, I'm a carbine enjoyer and I'm speaking from personal experience, not judging by the fact that I'm often killed with a carbine. They usually can't hit me in the head before I hit them, as for every one of their shots, there are 2-3 of mine.

And then again, the carbine has no recoil, you obviously haven't played with it. It's unfair that it has a muzzle velocity like long ammo, Winfield's damage and the Dolch's rate of fire. Against a shotgun, you can keep your distance. Shotguns are completely useless beyond their oneshot range. Against a carbine, you can't push it, you don't get an advantage at 70+ meters and the worst you can do is play at 20-40 meters.

Last time I played the game the carbine had the highest recoil out of pretty much any gun bar the specials like avto. It was a struggle to hit consecutive shots at anything further than 20 meters away. Even the medium variant of it, nagant precision I believe it's called, had recoil significantly lower which was endlessly silly to me. Does the recent buff really decrease recoil that much?
