Have to agree that the .50 is a slight let down.
I have noticed a slight increase in accuracy when in cover, however....
Seeing as these weapons have replaced sig skills I was maybe setting my expectations a little high, but, WHY ARE WE STANDING WITH A .50 cal SNIPER RIFLE??? lol. I'm sure there is some rock solid special ops geezer the size of an elephant somewhere that can hold a .50 and shoot standing up, but the weapon should have come with a "Prone Position" skill or something along those lines.
When I think .50 cal I think of a shooter laying down looking through scope fixed to a rifle sitting on a bipod, not a chap standing upright shooting at a target 60m away lol.
But as for dmg, once I go the rifle up to full scratch including headshot dmg etc it hits well, but I agree getting a headshot from a realistic "Sniper" distance isn't easy.
And what happened to ye'olde' holding of the breath to stop the floating crosshair??

Just switched to this from the crossbow, and I really feel like this rifle is rather weak damage wise.Originally Posted by UbiInsulin Go to original post
I have been very disappointed with the TAC-50.Originally Posted by UbiInsulin Go to original post
As a limited use "special weapon"...and assuming I am aimed dead onto a targets head...it should not miss 2/3 times. The 2-3 seconds it takes to reach accuracy needs to go. Even then..the accuracy need to improve. Also, base DMG needs a buff. If I hit a target...any target in the head with this thing...it should DIE...period...i dont care what kinda armor the NPC is wearing. As it stands, I have gotten lucky a few times and taken out a "BOSS" from a control point with one or two shots...but that is rare thing. Maybe reduce the ammo capacity to 4 or so and/or increase reload in exchange for making it hit more and harder.
While I am still using the sharpshooter spec...I almost never use the weapon. I do much better with regular bolt action and the sharpshooter passives. I do not think that was your intent.
There, I fixed it.Originally Posted by Vastten Go to original post![]()
