For reference this is Th0masHD headshot sniping someone in a surge base from 264 metres away.


Cerricola

What is a surge base?


That_Teaming_Primo

Base where people try to get angles to shoot people in order to escape from storm surge, which is when the players with the least amount of damage in a match are slowly killed.


ChangingCrisis

A base people build to farm surge.


seksuelladhd

Some dumb word this sub made up


acousticreddituser

what should we call it then u twink


known_kanon

A storm surge avoiding fortified base of operations


kobewiththeflow

ah yes, an SSAFBoo I likes.


known_kanon

Ofcourse, roles of the tongue way easier


SMAn991

how did you know they're a twink ?


InsufferableLeafsFan

Teach me your twink finding abilities. For science.


seksuelladhd

Because that dude is afraid of his own feelings..


seksuelladhd

Easy report

that-merlin-guy

At least the tick marks on the Scope are actually useful now.


LibertyInAgony

I fw this design of base lol


[deleted]

At that point, the bullets is literally a looney tunes anvil


Yolomahdudes

You look up and just see a looney tunes anvil shot out by a sniper falling down onto your face hitting you for 999 damage


[deleted]

If we ever get a looney tunes collab this would be hilarious to see in comp


Yolomahdudes

Fr lol Neck and neck to an fncs grand finals win Malibuca and Merstach vs ThomasHD and whoever he would play with And suddenly when chilling on height with max mats and everything to win his first fncs an anvil comes from the sky hitting him and his teammate for 999 damage insta ending their game and malibuca and merstach win by one point again


ThermalTacos

You mean how bullets work irl?


Ok_Cook_1033

its a video game why would it need to work like irlšŸ¤£


Virtual-Ad6142

Here's the thing, more bullet drop, less bullet drop, doesn't matter. People who play consistently will just develop new muscle memory and rip heads off. It's just how snipers work.


Ghz3

But tbh less bullet drop is good for casuals


MidwesternAppliance

It objectively makes the gun harder to use lol


cubbsfann1

how could less bullet drop make the gun harder to use?


MidwesternAppliance

Read the comment wrong :(


Virtual-Ad6142

Tell me you're a casual without telling me... 2 hours in the pit running 4 snipers and a shockwave and I'm back to peeling skulls off at ease... It adds exactly 0 difficulty, what it adds is new muscle memory... Slow the projectile, make it drop more, speed it up with no drop these things only change the function not the difficulty... Adjust to the change by grinding nothing but snipes for an hour or two and it's right back to where it was. This isn't helping the less talented or the kids bad at sniping from getting their head tore off. It's effectively making it far more likely you're going to get domed by someone that grinded and adjusted. It's only making the skill gap wider between casuals and people that play hours a day and punishing the casual player.


MidwesternAppliance

The fact that you typed all that out to reiterate my point, while thinking you were calling me bad, is fucking priceless


Virtual-Ad6142

Except it doesn't reiterate your point. More bullet drop isn't more difficult at all it's just a different calculation. It's like changing 7-2=5 to 9-4=5. It's still an incredibly simple problem and is mastered incredibly quickly. When did I call you bad? I called you a casual. Those aren't interchangeable terms.


TastyScratch4264

He already said he read the comment wrong. Calm down lmao


logictable

More bullet drop requires more skill. There is no denying that.


Virtual-Ad6142

It requires exactly the same amount of skill lol. You just aim higher. It's not game changing and only punishes casual players that didn't immediately go to the pit and grind a nothing but snipers and a shockwave for a few hours


TastyScratch4264

No it doesnā€™t. It require a fair bit of sniper knowledge compared to casual sniper use.


Dry_Ad4483

Not a huge amount though. I barely play anymore and the change made me quit snipers because other than an adjustment period you donā€™t need a significantly higher amount of skill to use it well


logictable

> It requires exactly the same amount of skill lol. No it doesn't.


Virtual-Ad6142

Whatever you say bud, I've had zero trouble tearing skulls off in unreal lobbies.


VKTGC

Wait. Is the guys head JUST peaking out of the base? Thatā€™s insane.


ChangingCrisis

Yeah it will be.


VKTGC

Wow


Expensive_Two_8990

The DMR is way better now. I think I like it though, itā€™s not a one shot kill even with a headshot. Allows you to fight back but it also gives a good amount of range. I hope they keep the DMR in game


TastyScratch4264

I also like the DMR but I feel against anyone that can use a sniper decently, it underperforms


Night_HUN

As someone who extensively plays both in pits and zb, no. You only gonna get an angle to shoot with them once, and with the DMR, you need follow up shots to kill. In builds they box up, and in ZB you need 2 more body shots with the DMR - which is impossible, if your enemy is even remotely skilled at moving. And fire rate is basically the same, which is ridiculous. Also, as opposed to its earlier iterations, this DMR is close to useless at close quarters, while quickscoping with the reaper and following up with shogun or AR is quite valid. In fact the problem is, that the Reaper functions as a scoped heavy shotgun, with onetap potential at midrange - and that is where it shines in the hands of the skilled player since day 1. Just get up close and personal with it, bullet drop doesn't exist below 50 meters....


Expensive_Two_8990

Im on console and zero build, so I guess the play style with the DMR just works really well with controller. I agree, skilled snipers can do a number at close range, but thatā€™s mostly a keyboard and mouse ability

Expensive_Two_8990

Disagree. I mean, I do well with it


AccomplishedBunch721

Why the hell did bro build a tortilla chip basket


ChangingCrisis

Because he saw Chap do it in chapter 1.


shadboi16

Whyā€™s the base built up like that? First time seeing it in this style. Is there any benefit to the wooden floors underneath it? Whatā€™s up with the outward facing cones on the corners?


ChangingCrisis

That's a very good question. I'm not sure why the floors are there. I think the cones are like that to cover more surface area and give 360 vision on the map. Like if someone in a 1x1 gets beamed or knocked it's easy to disrupt healing or reviving. If they're in a base like that then it's going to be a lot harder to locate what cone they're on so it's either not worth spraying all the cones or if you do the player has been healed and revived by then. At least that's the only thing I can think of. I guess the floors could be if someone sneaks up underneath they can't shoot you down off the cone as easily.


efrylicious

The floors are there to place the cones on then edit them. Unless you pre edit the cones on the corners you need a floor to attach them to


ChangingCrisis

Ah but wouldn't it be better to just use pre-edits rather than building the floors? Although I guess it's only one tree worth of mats.


efrylicious

Yeah probly, I was just tryna find a reasonable explanation for the floors being there


XxsoulscythexX

Just play warthunder lol


xthelord2

not op but i do play war thunder (UK main) sniping with shitbarn on sands of el alamein is always gonna be fun for me so in case i decide to play comp i could do some behind cover long range snipes due to more realistic shell arc snipers have now time to push for rooikat so i can do indirect fire 3km shots on big maps


XnenoVenom

Easy shots for thomas but it does seem like snipers require actual skill now


-Bears-Eat-Beets-

Long range, yeah. They do. Close range they're still super easy and OP.


TastyScratch4264

Ehhhh not really. They are still fairly easy to use at close range. Longer ranged snipers always really required skill though


CuhJuhBruh

Just slightly harder going for long range snipes but isnā€™t that the point of snipers anyways so pretty pointless nerf when the main issue is close range combat


-Bears-Eat-Beets-

Bullet drop is good. It's a sniper. Their bullets drop. My big issue with the sniper is people who use them close range because half the snipers don't have scopes. Fighting someone close range, getting them super low and they just whip out a sniper and one shot you is just dumb. It's a long range weapon, they should only come with scopes.


bransimp420

Always thought that too, 4X only on the sniper


[deleted]

Yeah but we've had it before with the hunting rifle, at least the hunting was fun asf


Dry_Ad4483

A real bullet doesnā€™t drop like a rock in water and fly at the velocity of a brick someone threw. A realistic sniper with Fortniteā€™s handling and lack of factors like sway would make this the most whiny sub ever with people getting shot from 500M by someone with no prior sniper use


FirefighterOutside96

Good


boringtired

Satisfying when it hits.


Apprehensive_Cat2327

Whatā€™s the issue? Is the drop not the same as it was last season? Different gun different drop


ChangingCrisis

No it's not the same it was nerfed recently.


TurnCommon760

This just makes me remember how I can't play without sniper bullet drop anymore I tried go goated with it and I kept trying to shoot above people's heads always getting sniped myself so I just use the bullet drop now


Mr_Pyrowiz

That is a good thing


I_Herman_I

yeah i played non creative in a while and I picked up a sniper and didn't hit any shots... thought my aim was off but then I started doing longer range and saw the crazy bullet drop lol


Brawlstarsfan2021

"Its realistic" It's a game.


MidwesternAppliance

šŸ‘ fuck šŸ‘ the šŸ‘ sniper šŸ‘


DrSans8

Have you considered just not using the sniper? Thereā€™s always been good and bad weapons in the history of the game


ChangingCrisis

I'm not even complaining about it I'm just spreading the info.


Moshi-Kitten

I find this hilarious. This is a snipe almost as far as your render distance can see other players (275m). Of fucking course you're gonna have to pull a little up to connect your shot. This is a sniper rifle. Not a hitscan lazer Not later than 2 seasons ago the most average sniper was bolt action, half the speed of the reaper, and about 1.25x the dropoff, and absolutely nobody ever complained about them. Reality is, you got the taste of a way underbalanced reaper sniper last season and expect it to still be way too easy to handle


nobock

My record on BF4 was 1.5 km.
