The Longbow DMR, time to work on it NOW.

★★★ Newbie

This "gun" is a proof of incompetence in term of game design:

 

* Low base clip magazine

* Slow scope in/out

* Low base damage

* Low accurancy

* Slow bullet speed

 

A rifle using heavy ammo bested by light ammo guns at long distance AND close range, since you don't apply much the distance damage falloff.

 

The P2020 and Mozambique are for early fight? This one is for none!

 

Early game, you get punched to the face 'till you're out.

 

Mid game fight? The G7 Scout fares better!

 

Late game? There's so little space you're getting rushed and pulverized by a Peacekeeper.

 

Almost every gun outshine this garbage of a rifle, playing the Sniper style of gameplay is outrageously hard!

 

Time to wake up, devs, you're paid for making good products, not mediocre ones!

All weapons need a projectile speed increase imo. Sometimes I feel like I'm shooting a paintball gun. If I was gonna buff the Longbow I would give it a higher rate of fire, faster projectile speed(do it with all guns), and 8 round default mag cap. The rate of fire is by far it's biggest problem IMO.

Faster projectile speed will just make it even easier for aimbotters.

That's the dumbest "argument" I've seen in a long time... Let's get rid of all the guns then. That way aim-bots become useless... problem solved. kek

The only thing that needs changing with the longbow IMO is that the bullet drop off needs to be reduced so that it actually feels like a sniper. I'm trying to shoot someone not sink a 3 pointer. 

 

clip size is fine. 

 

Longbow has low body damage because its a skill ceiling weapon, land your headshots, that is what it is for

Pot kettle black. Not even going to dignify that with a response.

Currently aimbotters rely on automatic weapons at medium to close range because the aimbot does not compensate for projectile travel time and bullet drop.

 

Sniper rifles are fine the way they are. Git gud.
