Imagine this in the vents on turbine

[@Mayogus]

With that name i expected it to be about 360 no scopes or something, but this is a more interesting concept. Favours a careful sniper that sets up ambushes instead of rushing in and quickscoping the first person in sight.

Or spamming down a narrow hall and instakilling people out of nowhere

[@maximilianoferrer6841]

@@InsightReasoningOh, you mean the huntsman?

[@battlesheep2552]

Also area denial, you can have a lethal bullet bouncing around a tight space

[@ApocAnarchy]

that is so fucking potentially powerful that it would either never have a chance or be utterly nerfed in 1 minor update to never be used again,,,, like every other broken weapon

[@jacksboredombusters4057]

The ‘spam into small room and pray’

[@trapsack]

Bro, why did I laugh at the thought of the sniper shooting this and then getting on his knees and praying? Lololol

[@demonwizard1]

“Heavy Sniper Rifle?” Nah man he gets the minigun

[@roboxenogaming2047]

Sacrificing some portion of open-area utility for that sweet and juicy ricoshot hits in enclosed areas. Peak weapon cooking.

A case where Bullets becoming suddenly Projectiles make sense (Gimmick).

[@rockowlgamer631]

This thing would be dangerous for hallways

[@thunderdraco]

Very interesting gimmick weapon, but I'd say it's probably too difficult to land the "trickshots" consistently enough

[@willropa4226]

I'm more worried of Sniper/Engie teams setting up in a hallway chokepoint like the intel room hallways on 2-Fort and just spamming the infinite ammo Dispenser Trickshot down the hallways, permalocking them. In those scenarios, accuracy doesn't matter.

[@inductivegrunt94]

Turbine's vents and the hallways to the intel room on 2Fort will be so much fun with this.

[@The_Budige]

we got ultrakill in tf2 before gt 6 in full version

[@artidery3526]

I don't Wanna imagine 10 people just shooting this randomly in enclosed maps

[@ptrd4111]

Seems cool on the surface but I can see this being easily abused. Any hallway will become a death trap as a sniper can comfortably bounce shots while behind cover. Even worse if there's multiple snipers.

[@NefariousTomato]

God damnit. I was writing balance change ideas and i selected all my text and wrote E. It's so over.

[@joshcooper467]

So it's basically the Spiral from DMC3 huh? Pretty cool!

[@digitalfreak8280]

The bouncing yellow eco bullets from jak 2&3

[@awoodenkiwitoy6293]

Imagine a 100 player server full of these

[@Narwhal12]

It’s incredibly underpowered and but cool none the less!

[@기라티나]

3:53 alright that escalated quickly

[@bannythebanhammerbunny]

this looks like it might have area denial/trap potential

[@axolotlanimations8588]

Rico + Sniper = This Or Belle Gadget + Sniper = this

[@archibald_albasta]

The damage is still too low, and the chance to make a bullet bounce long enough and then get hit enemy would be too rare to use this thing, during most of the demonstration it was used as a regular rifle. Only a few ricochet kills were made, and that was down to luck, not the player. Maybe a ricocheting weapon makes sense, but definitely not for a sniper. Maybe ricocheting rockets?

[@TheBlueGuy5077]

For a moment I thought it was Bullestorm sniper

[@bluedistortions]

In most places, it's worthless, while in very tight spaces and hallways, it's crazy strong. I think this could be balanced out by upping the damage quite a lot, so it can be used as a regular sniper rifle, and then having damage falloff for ricochets? The slower fire rate is enough of a tradeoff for the bonus ricochet ability. Maybe I'm wrong. But it seems like then it could be conventionally used, with some downsides, but also some unique uses, but not too strong in those unique uses.

[@skinwalker69420]

Nah it's decent as-is, just not good on every map

[@rottenroads1982]

Happy New Year The Panacek, and nice weapon review. New weapon for the Snippens. Should be in TF2, as I will always continue to say.

[@PedroMiguelJesus-d4u]

Happy mew years?

[@Vason_Gaming]

Hanzo should try this weapon out too for “simple geometry”.

[@ukaszwalczak1154]

I'm guessing this is a Manually-Actuated Barrett, one that locks back the bolt, and then you have to pull the bolt back so it shoots again. Yes i am analyzing a TF2 custom xd

[@Drunken_Hamster]

Is the ricochet bonus compounding or flat? IE if it bounces 4 times, do you get a 30% bonus to base damage (total 32.5) or 25*1.075^4? Actually, after doing the math, the difference is minimal, which leads me to think that it's overbalanced. 40% reduction, 50% slower firing, and 41% damage per ricochet would be my rebalance. Roughly every 2 ricochets it doubles in power since I used the square root of 2. After 8 ricochets, any class is done for, regardless of overheal. A 40% damage reduction still lets you knock an overhealed Demoman, but not quite an overhealed Soldier or base Heavy. However, if you bumped it down to 33% reduction (base damage of 33.5 ish) then you could. Might want to go with the cube root of 2 (26%) for the ricochet damage boost, though. That'll make it so every 3rd ricochet is roughly doubling the power. 12 ricochets = any class at any state (besides ubercharged or etc) is done for.

[@Moonlight13669]

Wow nice concept sniper rifle the weapon is very cool 👍

[@Markm8]

God, this must be horrible to play against

[@DanielWindows]

add laser sight to this one and I will go all mirrors edge like

[@nicholayrichardson9668]

those who doubt that you can master the ricochette have not played against enough trolldiers
