    What's Up With The TAC-50?

    I have the sniper specialization, if I use all the other marksmen rifles I can head shot enemies and damage them nearly every time. The TAC-50 is supposed to be king but I find that a lot of my shots don't have damage. I can line up a hostile, zoom the scope and fire only to find they suffer no damage. You only get eight shots max at a time with it and you can waste up to half, anyone else noticed this? Also even if you head shot a heavily armored boss they just seem to laugh it off, it can take over four registered head shots to bring them down.

    Well named enemies take less damage from spec weapons (people were just using them a boss nuke so made boss trivials but still dumb for me) so that solves that mistery. For the accuracy part it actually has weird accuracy modifier that if you move just a bit it will become extremely innacurate and takes a moment from when you stop moving to set back, honestly spec weapons are too clunky, just increase their ammo capacity and switch time already so i can pull against an enemy faster than it takes for me to dump two magazines in their heads otherwise why bother

    In addition to what xcel30 said, be sure that the Sharpshooter Specialization is fully leveled up and all points are distributed in the specialization tree to gain full benefit of the TAC-50. I love that thing. It sounds like a cannon going off in my ear.

    Yes, the nerf to named enemy's was a big hit to our super weapons. Thus with no balance and just nerf, they should increase ammo cap. They turned them into add. clear weapons with low ammo cap.
