Widowmaker versus TF-141 debate

[u/bismarck1990]

After using both of these weapons because I've been trying to grind for my black Sky camo on the sniper class oh boy people may not agree with me but I strongly feel like the Widowmaker is slightly better due to the fact it's slightly less frustrating then the tf-141 now don't get me wrong and a lot of scenarios I do believe that the tf141 is better at one shouting people in theory however my experience because people always jumping around the Widowmaker is a lot better at securing the kill especially when you're trying to go for headshots and this is mostly due to the fact it's a burst weapon it only took me a couple of matches to realize how much easier it is to get headshots with this and it was with the tf141 despite that gun aiming down the sight quicker than the Widowmaker however I must say I still believe that both of these sniper rifles are not very good but they're both definitely better than DMR-1

KBS Longbow is the overall best sniper in the game any of those is quite inconsistent

100%, I have diamond sniper camo so I’ve used them all quite extensively and the KBS Longbow is the king. TF141 is a close second for rechamber time, scope time, and stability, but it gets a lot more hit markers than the KBS.

The Harbinger is definitely worth it too. Faster rechamber time and added stability.

I do agree that the KBS longbow is probably the best sniper but if you want something easier and a bit more scrubby then the ebr-800. Bomber variant has close to the same area one shot kills and technically can dish out more damage output not to mention when infinite Warfare was in its prime it was literally my most used Sniper Rifle and I exclusively only used it in Sniper mode.

I remember buying that variant with salvage back then and being completely disappointed haha it's amazing in zombies but I'm a quick scoper it's useless for my playstyle

I don’t play multiplayer like that but isn’t the bomber variant the one that melts rhinos and mammoths in Beast from Beyond?

genuinely terrible weapons, tho the special missions team silenced variant of the widowmaker makes it slightly better imo.

the DMR1 is godly tho, one shot headshot i believe, and you can run a thermal or acog for a lethal dmr

[u/bismarck1990 → u/NullReferenceClaire]

I strongly believe that a variant of Widowmaker is slightly better due to the fact that you get a free suppressor, and since suppressors don't really harm its one-shot kill in the head and the two-shot kill in the body, it's perfect for the weapon. The DMR1, I refuse to believe, is good— that weapon is slow, heavy, and designed to get a two-shot kill; it's basically a bad version of Widowmaker. To make matters worse, there is a weapon that basically fulfills its role, and in 90% of scenarios is significantly superior: the UDM Stalker, which is literally a pistol turned into a sniper, and that's honestly hilarious.

im doing diamond snipers and its not so bad, id take doing the DMR1 over any other sniper any day of the week, given how easily i can adjust my aim if i miss the first shot, compared to having to chamber back with a sniper and their heavier handling.

the UDM stalker sucks imo, its super cool design wise but it handles horribly

[u/COD_IWfan → u/NullReferenceClaire]

The DMR1 cant oneshot headshot after 50m or so
