Why is XM1014 so OP

[BaD-A1m]

Why is XM1014 so OP every noob running and gunning with this thing can pretty much kill own people , plus the thing has short-medium range capabilities so its not really a situation weapon like it used to be

you get 4 pellets very close to each other in order to do serious damage all 4 of these need to hit the head, hitting with all 4 pellets is harder then hitting with one bullet.

what youre thinking is oh its easier to hit because theres so many pellets but in reality hitting with just 1 or 2 pellets in the head doesnt do ♥♥♥♥ all 4 need to hit at ones.

on the body you might argue that its a noob weapon but when someone kills you with bofy hits its your own fault for not headshotting him.

It's 100% a noob weapon. It does not mean that better players never use it, but it just means it's not considered 'OP' not at all.

When you don't know sprays, recoil control, movement and counter strafing, it means you're going to be ass with the meta weapons like rifles and the deagle. It means you're going to use weapons that don't require much skill to use, such as SMGs and shotguns. Shotguns have a better TTK than SMG's so they're considered 'OP'. i.e. They're noob weapons.

Any weapon which doesn't require skill to use is a noob weapon.

If you play ct on office, one of the best tactic is rushing paper with shotgun. Doesn't has to do if you are noob or not. But the weapon requires different skill than e.g ak. You need to pre aim angles and aim to the head. If you don't hit the first shot you are mostly dead on higher levels.

with the deagle your crosshair can be on the edge of the head hitbox and its still a kill.

just try playing the nova its extremely skill based, it feels a lot more finnicy to get a proper headshot with it that one shots people then weapons with just one projectile.

Just think about what you're saying.

If it's easier to get kills with the deagle, the $700 handgun that can kill at all ranges. Why buy the $2000 shotgun that can only kill in CQC... Doesn't exactly make sense. And, (I hate to do this to you but you're claiming the deagle is easier to use) why do your stats say you average 1 kill in >100 deagle shots taken. Compared to my 1 kill in <10 shots. It's almost like stats clearly portray that you can't use the deagle, at all, because it's a skill dependent gun. And I'm not saying you should use it. One thing I hate is lower ranked players buying deagles every eco/force when they don't know how to use it and would be better with literally any other pistol. It's just very clear that the deagle isn't 'easier' than the XM. Though I feel like I probably didn't need to explain this. The XM is easier for you, because it's an easy weapon that doesn't require much game skill...

Well Office isn't in Active Duty for a reason. The meta in Office would be different because it's essentially a completely different way of playing CS. XM is definitely better in that map than most others but that's because what Office does, modern competitive maps try to actively avoid.

The XM is a noob trap. It's really easy to use but it requires you to ignore your own safety to do some serious damage. Either you stomp with this or you get 1-2 kills and people adapt to you and you never get kills with it again for the rest of the game. Wow, just like in cs 1.6 and CSS.
