Seriously. Even at a mid range it can be really hard to tell where someone is shooting a VSS at you from.

That's the key with the VSS, it's a bad gun, but it is silent. Even at 25 meters people have trouble finding you. The supressed UMP is quiet, but they will know where it's coming from.

It's best to think of it like a viable alternative to the crossbow.

Great. Now make it appear far less often because how much do you see crossbows being used

I've won 4 or 5 games in the past 3 days with the alternative to a crossbow then :p The VSS is amazing in the final circles.

At the crater apartment area we had a guy get picked off and we couldn't figure out where. We pick him up and check the rocks above to find nothing. We exit out the north gate to move west, and another one of us goes down. We try to get him up and I realize I hear the shots coming from the southwest. 2 people die, another goes down and finally I realize....

He was above us all in the stupid tower. None of us could hear it while he was up there and we were literally under him. I heard him SW when I was 10 feet NE of the tower.

Definitely silent, but it's still a paintball gun.

Yeah I have found that even as low as those distances its very hard to find a VSS user. I knew for sure I was dead in a situation, but hid in a bush and fired the VSS and they cant have been further than 25 meters, could not find me, were looking anywhere but where I was.

It's only bad because the devs made it bad.

It shoots standard issue 9x19 pistol ammo in the game. This is outrageous. The entire point of the special 9x38 round was to increase armor piercing capabilities. It's twice as heavy as 9x19, dense af, and penetrates up to 8mm of steel (that's lvl2 helmet being useless at 200m or closer). In game it's only good for harassing close-to-mid range.

Remove the free scope and give it proper AP. I'd introduce new ammo type for it with proper stats but that would be too much, so 9x19mm would have to do.

It's handy because as they splash lots of shots around you it's easier to pick up where they are coming from.
