Sniping is getting HARDER in Battlefield 2042 New Update

[@notefb]

Tbh I feel like the NTW-50 is fair, I mean it feels like these maps are built to reward vehicles and it is a anti-materiel rifle...

[@evilrooster9960]

Yeah and it's locked behind level 60, I think they should reconsider, I haven't even unlocked it yet lol

[@qiyuxuan9437]

Its fair depends on which vehicle you are shooting at. The problem with NTW 50 is, it seems to damage vehicle based on % of health. So no matter you are in a jeep or tank, it always take 6 shots to kill. They should keep its currerent shots to kill against light vehicles, but a few more shots for heavy vehicles.

[@Takyodor2]

@@qiyuxuan9437 I couldn't agree more (I recently unlocked it). We need a way to fight vehicles, and it feels balanced against light armor right now, but when I destroy tanks I just feel dirty. A sniper shouldn't be able to do that against a tank!

[@beric0bartman]

vehicles are mediocre at best, if you've played them at all you should be able to tell. AP rounds are like rocket launcers but almost instant hit feeling and you cant really play around them as a tank, bit easier as helo but still hard.

[@FrigidFriar]

Nah, having snipers that take out tanks is just not sensible either for immersion or for gameplay design. Jeeps, helis - sure, I buy it and see the point. But you need to have a reason to specialise into AT weaponry or be vulnerable, and the current NTW performance is really silly.

[@crookeddoghomebrew9144]

Easy fix high damage rounds cap at 3 round mag and 1 in the chamber for a total of 4 .If a tank is dumb enough to get hit by 4 bullets reload a clip and a final round they deserved it.This way everything else is vulnerable. But the weapon is not op 4 rounds to drop a nightbird .

[@GeliCarlosJ]

sniping getting harder for Stod basically means normal players are even more fucked than before 😂

[@koroshiya978]

Yeah the only battlefield where it felt rando scouts contributed as much as other classes was Battlefield 1 with the sweet spot mechanic. Which was "too easy" for Stod. The headshot one hit kill thing he praised so much in BF V meant that if a team had too many snipers it was an insta loss.

The NTW is meant to be an anti-vehicle weapon so yeah, I don’t know why it should get nerf when most of engagement in the battlefield is focus on vehicle base rather than infantry base, this my opinion

[@audian666]

exactly .especially concidering how much rockets you need to hit with the recoilless m5. the NTW seems a fair counter against all vehicles...

[@FurBurger151]

Yeah It's has its place and Personal I think a nerf will reduce its viability over other weapons. Hate to say it but it actually seems balanced with the reload time and ammo count. 8x definitely needs a slight ads Nerf but other need real buffs to make them more desirable over the 8x.

[@kevSR388]

Unless something is blatantly broken (like the hovercraft) I wouldnt be making balance changes until they fix the damn performance of the game. Hard to tell whats actually good and what isnt when we have problems with hit registration, hit boxes, fps drops, mouse input lag, generally laggy servers, micro stuttering… I mean the list goes on…

[@Gunslinger4511]

Should make every scope zoom in as fast as the 8x

[@p0etikxjustice499]

God yes. The 8x scope is the only scope that actually feels good. Sniping in this game is already difficult on controller, and all of the other scopes feel weird and janky. Out of all of the bugs and glitches in this game, they should have left this as the LAST thing they fixed

[@mre1995]

The 8x zoom itself isn't even that fast, still kind of slow for my liking but it's the only one that doesn't make you feel crippled, why not just buff the other scopes to make the game feel more responsive? The magnum also seems to have the same issue since the red dot has a faster ads speed than the iron sights.

[@ThatNorma]

its quite pathetic. Reducing the ADS speed only means that I cant counter a fight properly when im caught by the back or side. SHit takes so long to ADS by the time I do it , im dead...

[@jeremyzheng3096]

i don’t see the point in making the ntw obsolete, i’d say a better fix would be making a fat drop off for damage to vehicles from it, increase the risk and keep the reward. In my first 30 hours i died to an ntw once, i have not seen it as a problem.

[@toxibeet]

That’s because not everybody even unlocked it yet

[@south662]

tbh such a bs patch. Nobody really uses the ntw for anti-vehicle unless they are really determined. Now there is no literal reason to use the ntw when it was originally designed as a anti-material weapon. Why blur the line between normal snipers with ap bullets and something originally designed for anti-vehicle?

[@tthtonekid]

Yeah this nerf just straight up makes the gun useless so now there's only 21 guns in a game with a laughable amount of launch content and enormous empty maps

[@DonkeyBuns]

The .50 actually feels balanced. I've never seen a single room where anybody complains about it. High level players barely ever use it. The nerf will make it literally useless lol.

[@Takyodor2]

NTW 50 user here. I think it would be fair to nerf damage to tanks, or to only deal damage from behind, it feels wrong to wreck tanks left and right, but otherwise yeah, if they nerf all vehicle damage it will be completely useless.

[@Pyrovile42]

I can't even express how much I hate slow ads speed.

[@tthtonekid]

Yeah if they're slowing it significantly they need to tighten the hip fire. Team play is non existent in this game so a sniper is literally screwed in close range because noone is covering. The ADS speed at least gave you a chance to get a quick shot off before you're deleted. At range I dont think the ADS speed matters because aim assist is basically non existent so only super skilled players like stod are consistently quickscoping.

[@FelipeRubens]

They could buff the other scopes instead.

[@seanelgie]

Vehicles are the biggest problem in this game why are they nerfing infantry means of taking out vehicles. Just a horrible decision.

[@beric0bartman]

Vehicles are probably the weakest they have been in the entire series, except for the transports, (m5c is op for some reason). If you think otherwise ur delusional, tanks die to everything and the turret barely moves fast enough to keep up. Helo's barely have cover on most maps, and 64 people could potentially carry ur hard counter, not to mention the sundance grenades.

[@orclord5719]

Theres really no bullet drop in the game. Its more tied to your scope. The bullet still travels. Anti armor ammo on other weapons feel so weak. It would GREATLY help if they brought back points earned by damage. So you can see how much damage you're doing to things.

[@DonkeyBuns]

I mostly play snipers in any Battlefield, and I do think that sniping seems a bit too easy in 2042 (at least with the DXR). At the same time though, the ADS speed on anything above a 2x feels painfully slow in this game, and the 8x was kinda the only way to get around that... I don't know, I guess I'd just prefer it if they did the snipers like in BFV so that they aim in fast, but never one-hit to the body.

[@Daveprotence]

Man bfv sniping was just perfect.

[@Skyflairl2p]

they should lower the ads speed on 6x/4x scopes if they double the 8x. Otherwise the feel will just be sniping in slow-motion.

[@8minato]

Sniping in bfv is leagues easier so I don’t agree with this at all.

[@Luxuriouswhite]

Bfv gunplay overall was amazing. Only game I played with like 3-4 weapons in each class. Almost everything felt good!

[@subaroo6831]

As someone who mostly snipes myself, any sniping after BF4 seems easy tbh.

[@LewF20]

Anything that kills vehicles in the game quicker is a plus. I feel like vehicle players just expect farming infantry players without dying is expected. I bring you back to the plane pilots on BFV who get 150 kills and 1 death per game, with no effective counter to them. I don’t want 2042 to be like this.

[@devinmcdrip]

I mean the fliegerfaust was pretty effective. If they start flying high, they just got less kills

[@tragiceso5121]

There are better solutions than creating a reality where tankers just sit in their spawn and maybe still die. Can you imagine what this would be like when everybody has unlocked it and it takes 20% of a tank’s health per shot? You know how easy it is to hit a tank? You can’t outrun a sniper rifle with a tank unless you happened to have cover nearby. Now let’s take my example but with two or more snipers at two or more angles. Maybe you actually know where they are, but they’re headglitching a rooftop and ADAD’ing...

[@xxHydroponicxx]

I luv you pro gamers. You obtain unlocks in a fraction of the time that it takes the rest of us. Then you post your glory videos. Then you all bang on how OP the upgrades are. Then the developers nerf the upgrades. Winning

[@zaphy6342]

"Fixed the 8X Scope having a faster ADS time than the others" sounds like they're just gonna make it the same speed as the others, not slower

[@homi1001]

The I assume all of the scopes have the same ADS speed, which is also a stupid way to "balance" them. They should buff all other sights' ADS speed to match the current 8x, because the 4x, 6x and 10x make it feel soooooo slow to aim as a sniper.

[@RespawningJesus]

Damn, I was looking forward to just making a dedicated anti-vehicle loadout with the NTW-50 when I unlocked it. Hopefully the nerf isn't too bad on it. The 8x scope nerf is something I saw coming though. It being faster than lower magnification scopes sounded more like a bug.

[@hern2063]

yeah if they nerf it too hard i'm stopping the grind now

[@Cloud-Yo]

I built my Tankgewehr Loadout with it and switch between c5, the m5 and ammo crate. but honestly the gun is good for close/mdium range only, which means dying a lot. those long shots require stable server connections to be effective and the bullet speed is so low you have to essentially Kobe anyone over 200m away. But ohk are nice :)

[@clunkydoo]

Wow I wish my enemies would stand still so much😂

[@dylan-nguyen]

The only reason snipers feel ‘broken’ are because the maps are fucking huge with lots of running in the open So a sniper can sit behind cover and not die simply due to the range.

[@mariannovak2878]

From my few hours in the game and 63lvl I just unlocked the NTW-50 3lvls ago and I love it. Personally I do not think that gun needs a nerf. Bullet speed is slow-ish. bullet drop is like shooting a mortar on longer shots, Gun kicks like a horse and the reload has a decent timer as this is a ducking .50 CAL aaaand DMG and accuracy on higher range is off. For me the main focus of this gun is Close/Mid Anti-vehicle sniper (With AP rounds). Without nerfing the self repair on the vehicles this gun will become useless after Patch 3. Compared to the other snipers. Not to mentioned still missed SVK what I think is unbalanced (2hit body shot on sniper range) and you could see that before patch 2. only guns used by 90% players were SVK and PP29, after the double nerf of PP I do not think there will be ppl using it anymore and more will go to SVK and AK.

I haven’t seen other people use the ntw too much. I for one do use it though, I’ll be at base during breakthrough shooting tanks and AA’s from 300-400m and taking them out before they even land or get close enough to be a problem. Will check for damage stats later

NTW. 50 used to do between 19 and 25 damage to a tank based on location when using the HP rounds. (I know minimum was 19 but forgot max.) The base magazine did 11 almost across the board but did 14 to the back of the tank. Now the NTW does as much as the standard ammo used to do and has received a magazine size nerf. It now takes 20 seconds to kill a JEEP with the HP rounds. This is not balanced. I think the best way to do it is give it the old damage model back, but lower magazine size. It's already annoying to reload but at least you can't 1 magazine kill a tank.

What if I told you, they are adding that in an up-coming update :)

[@naughtyauty]

As a tank main I will say the NTW is not bad right now. But when everyone in the game has it, it will be near impossible to play vehicles. There is already a big annoyance with C5 drones.

[@Coldasjones]

Being on receiving end, NTW did roughly 20dmg per shot to a tank. Squad of 3 guys all had them and had me from 100 health to zero in about 4-5 seconds from 200 meters. Never even saw them

[@BenjiPOTF]

maybe you were getting hit on the rear the weakest spot of the tanks. I have never been able to destroy a tank in 5 hits. Usually if a Tank driver is too dumb to move I have to use about 15 rounds.

[@IgnoreMeImWrong]

So, it takes teamwork to make it effective? Sounds similar to the Jav squad in BF3/4.

[@WeatherxCalipha]

Good. They should nerf DMR's too, there's literally no punish for using DMR's or Snipers in this game, they need to add supression back into this BF because a sniper should not be able to one-shot kill me by hitting my foot while I'm drilling him in the chest.

11:30 "Oh yeah , oh yeah , oh no" xD

[@AdNoctemMedia]

I know Battlefield isn't a super realistic game but the idea of sprinting into a standing unsupported shot with a high magnification scope with no spread or reticle sway is pretty comical. I don't think longer ADS time on high powered scopes is unreasonable but I know it's going to come down to game balance. I don't think the NTW is at all overpowered on vehicles. I get the argument that it shouldn't damage tanks or heavily armored vehicles like wildcats. But it should still be an effective anti armor play on light vehicles, especially hovercraft and recon truck. I could see them nerfing it to make it harder to use unsupported but I don't really think it needs a damage reduction.

[@McGJonin]

How do you have less than 1 million subs? Literally the best sniper I’ve seen in any game

[@toonheaded1]

Male a video after the patch looking at ammo types and the one shot as well as it's ammo types as well. Mainly trying to see how good the anti armor ammo is after the new patch

[@Paulo-mr5ke]

Hey bro what do you think the best loadout is PS5 compatible

[@demontongue9893]

To be honest the 50CAL rifle was perfectly balanced for me, it has a slow bullet velocity, you move slower , it reloads slow , it doesn't have a massive mag and takes more than 2 sometimes 4 to 5 shots to take out things, what else do you want???, the gun is gonna end up useless.

[@AzeUwish-cupidsconfidant]

Taking a while to get in a groove. I was good in BF4 and in BF5 I could own anyone lol. Time will tell here but so many people hard not to get sniped.

[@BiggusDingus325]

They are taking away progression as well. Last night i was at 355/1200 to unlock tier 1, then i went up to 392. Tonight i get on and im back at 350

[@devinguy]

I personally don't see why they're nerfing the NTW: it's pretty hard to hit 5 consecutive shots with that thing and it takes at least that many to kill a vehicle from full health. IMO it should have the same profile it currently has against light armour and do less against heavy.

[@eliassaavedra6857]

I feel like a huge nerf to the NTW- 50 would to make it to only be able to fire when using the bipod like they did with the tank hunter in bf1, but if they did that then they'd have to buff its damage. I dnt think this is a good idea tho

[@SinonAsadas]

Hey what's your settings for sniping?

[@mostlyshenanigans]

I'm disappointed when they make sniping so easy in games. What's the point of the steady shot key bind if there's no bullet spread after sprinting/moving/jumping. Is this really the kind of sniping everyone prefers in a battlefield game? Thought it was more of a CoD thing.

[@rajm1976]

10x doesn't have mil dots. 8x is the only one?

[@SinonAsadas]

For sniping what are you settings?

[@ExF1Guy]

I wouldn't mind the nerfs to anti vehicle snipers if the rocket launchers were any good (although I'd prefer they not net them). At this point the only way to deal with vehicles as an infantry is the Casper drone and c5. IMHO scope in time and weapon swaps are way too slow across the board. Really feels like they're trying to lower the skill gap.

[@FrenchyAU]

Do you have any tips for leading shots? I've been wanting to snipe more but the one part I really struggle with is leading shots

[@serwalkerofthekeynes8761]

Its mostly down to practice tbh. I sucked at first, then got better and better making my own mental equations. It just becomes muscle memory.

[@pvmchrisy]

that lil grenade assist at the end was beautiful
