What did they do to the guns?

What did they do to the guns in this game. I feel like the gun play was actually one of its selling points in the past and now they feel really bad overall. Keep in mind I haven't played in like a year lol

I didn't play before the newest patch but they feel pretty good to me on a pvp server as someone that played a bit of dayz and pubg - what do you mean?

The bloom/ spread or whatever you want to call it feels terrible on guns that are not high durability

u just bought this then? at 1.0?
well the shotgun has definitely been nerfed some. any shotgun, says same damage but its 5-6 body shots on unarmored bots at 10-15m, but same goes to u i was no vest but low tier helmet getting hit only takes like 15, but headshots still work same.. aim high.

the gun wear is awfully high right now. that needs a tweak. especially shotguns an rifles. guns dont wear that fast, an Im not saying make it realistic, but more inline with gameplay- they wear an need occasional repair. 1 or 2 parts every 50 shots or thereabouts i donno what is it now?, its a little high wear not the worst thing i mean its ea just new release water drain is far worse. jeez, I know were exerting but its high, pls dial it back well get there.

s85 was a 556 has a new caliber now, the 762 x ? the same as a bb-19 an Ttk pistol. that an mosins will take 2 body shots unless ur close an Im standing off with a 2x scope sometimes one shot another guy takes two so I donno..

shotguns hurt less & damage less. I think theyve taken some damage away all around, I thought it was too easy to die an bots seemed to have super-armor skin, so Im liking it whatever they did. it was really harsh, an the Im-a-stone-cold-killer-tuff-on-internet hardcore kiddies are gonna hate it..

I love the gunplay feels great to me. Especially that pump action shotgun.

Seems like the devs want players to use workbenches to keep up durability. It's a buff to players/squads that have a decent setup but definitely a nerf to vagrants and bambis. At 100% durability a lot of the weapons I use keep "new" or w/e its called (80-100%) for 2-3 hard or 1-2 epic missions. After you do those missions you'll need to return to base anyway to stash loot or go to trader

I play on pvp no-raid tho so it's probably a bit harder to keep a base w/ a workbench w/ raids

yeah just the past weekend. Somehow already at like 30 hours in 4 days lmao.

I don't know how it is before but everything seems pretty solid. The Food/water decay rate isn't painfully high (dayz is too high imo) but it is high enough to where you can't totally ignore it and make the system useless. Imo it's easy enough to either start or end a mission run at a well w/ just 1 flask to be fine

They feel great, when they dont need repair

Yellow and red guns are bad tho usually

They changed the accuracy of guns around a year ago. It used to be you could snipe bots with the tokarev pistol. Now each gun has different accuracy. This also made the bots much less dangerous as they cant hit anything past 100 yards.

I used to love the shotguns, but now you struggle to even kill a duck with them! Really wish they hadn't nerfed them, as rifles and machine guns are now the only viable weapon choices, even for AI.

Shotgun was fixed so if 1 bead hit the head it isn't a full headshot. And that was a good change.

I don't know.. but they only changed the guns once.. and before they were re-worked, they were TERRIBLE.

My guess is that you were one of the very few people that thought the weapon handling was better before they updated them.
