STOP saying to nerf broken guns, otherwise I need to get good at the game to get kills! Thats how it sounds to me. There is broken shit in videogames that go against the foundamentals of the game itself and the solution is to nerf. A 2 shot DMR is not BALANCED, especially when the fire rate makes you outdamage all the other gun types.

[@_A_Freak]

@@IlNamelessKinglI everyone agrees bullet bloom has to go, the average engagement range on this game is twice many past titles. I rarely get shot by a dmr or snipers because I don’t camp. I want recoil pattens that are learnable not random deviation. I do as you say want to “get good” with the new weapons but you can’t do that if it’s random. I have gotten a good amount of kills FYI but I’m not blind, **** is not consistently registering....I’ve played BF since BC2 check my Battlelog /stat tracker if you like, but you can’t tell me **** about the fundamentals of a Battlefield game .

[@IlNamelessKinglI]

@@_A_Freak First of all its called Spread, not random bullet deviation, bloom or whatever you idiots call it. Second point, Spread exists to balance different types of weaponry and give attachments a reason to exist. An SMG shouldnt be as accurate as a damn LMG, DMR or Sniper at range. Third point, even if they remove Spread, a 2 shot DMR that deals 90 DAMAGE, FUCKING 90 in close range and like 60 at long range, is still gonna outdamage the rest of the weaponry in any scenario. The only downside is the 6 rounds mag. Btw, in BF4 and 1, you can control Spread, since Spread progressively gets worse the more you shoot, so if you let Spread Reset itself by bursting or by stopping your shooting, your shots will achieve very high accuracy results. What made your shots miss was SUPPRESSION and in the case of BF1, Random Sight Sway, Suppression AND visual recoil. Recoil patterns will not make the gunplay more skillbased, because anyone can learn a pattern. On the other hand knowing how to burst your guns to achieve near 100% accuracy like in BF1, did require skill, because not only you had recoil to counter, but also you needed to know how each gun needed to be bursted. You couldnt burst guns all in the same way like in BF4. BF2042s problem with Spread, mainly in Assault Rifles, isnt Spread, its the fact that for some reason Spread Increase is bugged and your gun gets inaccurate faster than it should, that combined with the trash hit reg means you shoot blanks. All the guns have spread in this game. SMGs are meta only because ARs have bugged Spread, once ARs get their Beta values back, SMGs are gonna be outclassed again. (wich is a problem btw) You are right on the maps being bigger, so why is a 2 shot DMR and a 1 shot sniper in the game then? Cant you tell they are broken and make everything else redundant? You literally have to score 4 to 6+ shots in a row, on people that probably run Armor making your ttk even slower, when they need to score only 1 or 2, no matter the range. The ZH29 and Anti Tank Rifles were not balanced in BFV btw, and they were absolute cancer and OP to go against. The game that didnt have "random spread" (it did lmao) and had random recoil that made your guns behave in uncontrollable ways.

[@erredaman]

[@psyanide1603]

Oh you need the long barrel and high powered ammo for long range double taps but at medium and short range you can just slap a suppressor on it to extra concealment and short range, 200m and less, you can take the supressor and the extended mags of standard and still double tap whilst maintaning concealment while increasing time before reloads which is kinda handy when at a range most opponets can engage you with ease, the overall loss in muzzle velocity is negligible at that point. This is why i have a 1.5-3x stacked scope/foregrip/high capacity mags and a suppressor for close-medium fights and high powered ammo/long range barrel/bipod and both 8x and 10x scopes - the 8x is better than the 10 for most sotuations due to milldots but the 10 is handy to have to counter snipe good players who possition themselves between hard cover like the support beams that would otherwise be awkward to aim through.

I think the fire rate is fine. It is a DMR. So in a reality standpoint it is trying to be a long range and a short range weapon. They should increase bullet drop at range, and depending on the stats of all other classes of weapons maybe they should decrease velocity; but it represents a .308 battle rifle. Two hit kill is legit, and you have to tap fire so at close range against full auto if the other player hits their shots the DPS of the sub guns and full autos ought to win. What they ought to do is limit scope glare from snipers unless the sun is behind your opponent, making it more realistic and giving the sniper class a boost.

With the right rhythm you can two fire without any accuracy penalty

@@kinikou thank you, i only played sundance XD

[@Sendmeanastroid]

Leave it as far as I'm concerned it's got a rather lengthy reload in my opinion for a gun with 6 rounds. If it ever becomes out of hand then I could see nerfing it, but I see it closer to the tank hunter from bf1 in terms of strength.

"I've been using the long barrel for aaaageess..." How long has the game been out? lol

[@randomguy51090]

The barrel doesnt doo anything but make it shoot slower the high power rounds it comes with makes it 2 tap

[@Fraggo]

Your bullets actually do damage.. 😒

[@thebonesnap1345]

i think the svk is benefiting the players who can actuallay have aim? so why to nerf it? there are other things in bf2042 which would need a bugfix oder nerf instead. imho

[@toonheaded1]

The bullet velocity is my preference

[@ironie5319]

can you reload the syringe from a ammunition box?

[@SuperNelly27]

Mate you have just got more kills in this 1 clip then I’ve got in my entire battlefield career lol

[@dyent]

lol, that shot at 25 seconds was nowhere near the target and still got the kill.

[@trxpmetal]

Hope DICE fix it soon its too broken and I dont want another DMR warfare like in BF4

[@ajhiep4447]

Reminds of the ZH-29 from bf5

[@rmo9808]

It reminds me of the rsc from bf1 good times were had with it

[@loki76]

They probably will nerf it and if it's a 3 shot gun, it's 100% useless compared to the DM7. Since mag size is smaller and ROF might be slower too. They would need to balance it in ROF or reticle settling speed so it's slower. It makes it bad up close but still the best longer range DMR.. But they cannot make it a 3 shot even with High-power 5 round mag. It would ruin it.

[@Telowin]

OP! Isn't it Grommit?

[@Necturn_]

I think they should nerf its damage range. I dont think it should be able to 2 shot from as far away as it does

[@coltukkor]

They make weapons and vehicles OP on purpose. It’s deliberate to draw people to buying. Then they nerf and balance them.

[@lootcifer6191]

I just want more frames than kills in a match :,)

[@bricepecheos1797]

It's the ZH-29 2.0

[@Oznerol1234]

Legit Hope they nerf it this time
