    Fix the broken M1A, buff the Marksman

    Getting sick of all these players shooting their Baker M1A because that's the only way they can do some damage in this game.

    You have a rifle which hits each shot for 1m, 2m, 3m and fires twice the rate of a marksman shot.

    Every newbie in this game is playing this rifle, it is laughable.

    Of course, I have abused my M1A to clear all the season league achievements today but it's kind of ridiculous.

    Options:

    1) Significantly lower the firing rate of M1A
    2) Significantly lower the damage range of M1A

    Why should I play my Marksman build when the M1A does pretty much the same damage per hit at twice, three times the rate?

    It's not broken at all.
    It's a 30-06, it's supposed to destroy everything at range. It was standard issue in WW2, the only thing better for the game would be a BAR.
    Most of the marksmen rifles in game use smaller ammo for better accuracy and flight trajectory, therefore less damage.
    I've run an M1 since I got my hands on one at the start of Div2, leave them alone.

    Yeah unfortunately these posts only hurt the game. Why not make a post to buff rifles and mm? Why just nerf it?

    I really dislike people like OP who only looks to hurt other peoples builds, regardless to the impact to PvE, rather than try to bring all the other weapons up to the performance of the weapon they want nerfed.

    Whats a Baker M1A?

    Also i have a SOCOM M1A and even with CHC and CHD included and a headshot ontop i can only hit for about 600k, i have 4 red and 2 blue on my kit but adding the other 2 reds to make 6 reds isnt going to get me to hit damage into the millions is it?

    There's a reason that won't happen. I wonder if you can figure it out.

    High rof rifles need a buff, sure. But curently
    M1a just outclass everything in the game. With upcoming nerfs to enemy's health pool, oneshoting elites on heroic with the only gun in the game should not exist.
