Not much on the armor yet, so I thought I'd start a thread.
I think it SUCKS, because as a sniper I don't get the benefit of aim assist (that's OK), but when I tried to kill a heavy today I gave him 4 charged shots and he was still going at me. Oh well...
Guess I'll have to HTFU, because:
- I'm a squishy scout that hardly benefits from armor and shield increase
- Sniping is less effective now
- With an advanced scout suit and dampening proficiency, you'll still get scanned
- The accuracy and reach of assault rifles is now INSANE!
Anyone else has feedback fo the devs regarding the armor update? |

I'm sure it's great for some people, just not for me. But with every change there'll be people that like it and people that don't. Overall I'm happy with this patch, and I'll make something else work for me. No need to whine! |

You mean a suit designed to soak damage that has been broken for about a year and is now fixed is finally doing what it was designed to do? A charge rifle + 20% extra damage is a weapon that is supposed to do a lot of damage. 4 charged shots down most players by far. I was just surprised that he survived. Surviving this much damage isn't "what its designed to do".
Perhaps it was the buff, I missed a shot, or it didn't register. Oh well. Open a new can of clones, and see whether I need to change my strategies.

I'll just adapt my style of sniping, or evade targets that apparently have too much eHP for me to down by myself in a few charged shots.

Garrett Blacknova wrote:One question for you, OP: Were you aiming for the head? Because I was. No, not at first. He was too far for me to see the head clearly. And I thought I could get a few shots in and would get him for sure. Besides, it's hard to see the head, because heavies have no neck 
I went for the head later when he was waddling at me, but I got him in the chest due to the terrain.
Ah well, he got me good. Fair and square! :)

Forlorn Destrier wrote:If memory serves, the Charge does what, 300HP of damage? +20% makes this about 360 per shot, times 4 shots you get 1440. Hmm... Math still seems broke - whey didn't you kill someone with 2000HP?
That's 321.9 x 115 (proficiency) x 120 (mods) x 4 (shots) = 1,777 damage. Or rather, a bit less, because of stacking penalties.
Still, how often can a sniper get 4 hits in? And how often does anyone in a FPS survive 4 hits from the most powerful sniper rifle in the game?
Perhaps my foe was an exceptionally durable sentinel. I'll never know!
