Scheneighnay McBob Bojo's School of the Trades 1420	Posted - 2013.06.07 01:22:00 - [1] - Quote We were told that for this build, sharpshooter would be gone, and all weapons will instead have a default range. In reality, sharpshooter was limited to ARs and SMGs- why? This just puts all the other weapons- particularly scrambler pistols/rifles, laser rifles, and HMGs at a disadvantage. There are 2 obvious ways to balance this out, so I'm going with the one that doesn't involve an SP sink. Remove the remaining sharpshooter skills, and instead change the default range of ARs and SMGs to what they would be at sharpshooter level 2 or 3.

Is your argument that Sharpshooter increases the range for ARs?

Is your argument that Sharpshooter increases the range for ARs? They still seriously outrange SRs

Rather than acknowledge my error I'm going to change the topic completely and make it a complaint about AR range despite my OP suggesting changing the range of ARs to what they would be with sharpshooter skills (presumably increasing range).

Not changing the topic- realizing my error and acknowledging the real problem.

I like Bojo and I didn't want to really stop sending people that way.
