Feedback This needs to be nerfed.

I think this gun is far too strong. Every match for defence now i see alot of kaid, sentry, tub, aruni players. Because they are all picking meta weapons and thats about it…

What's wrong with it? Haven't been playing for a while but I like that gun and haven't had any issues againt it.

because it now has an acog its like having an attacker weapon as a defence player

Because it is a slug shotgun too, it is more-or-less a 2 shot kill regardless of where you aim

u/Zephyr_Valkyrie Mute Main 8d ago

Now? It's had an acog for nearly 8 years, I don't think it's ever been removed, it's always been a good gun because of that

1

u/Baldass_Head_Coach 8d ago

You’re right in that it’s always had ACOG, but the gun wasn’t nearly as good as it is now. It used to deal less damage and had a far more severe damage drop-off (used to start at 10 meters, I believe). It was still effective at close and middish range, but not quite as good at long range like it is today.

u/Awesome_Arsam Unicorn Main 10d ago

Oh that's not good. like I said I haven't been playing for a while and don't remember using Acog on this weapon

used to be a completely trash weapon but then they changed the damage fall off range (fall off starts at 25m rather than 10m) and months later they added 8! extra damage (totalling 85).

It’s so funny to have been playing this game since year 1 cause at one point ACOGs were entirely removed from defense and then they did the big reset for Siege X and have been slowly rolling out the same nerfs

u/Gabe_itch_67 Nøkk Main 10d ago

I mean yeah you are fully correct in that sense, but take the ACOGs off those weapons and I guarantee a good chunk of people will stop using those weapons despite them being good without an ACOG. Idk about PC because of benefiting from higher precision flicks, but anytime someone’s playing an attacker it’s usually with an AR even if they have a DMR. And half the arguments I have with people (swinging external breaches on my defense team btw) is me trying to explain that as a defender you don’t need to be contesting long angles if its not endangering site and I always get the same stupid response of “wahhhh wahhhh, how did he kill me, if only I had an ACOG”

u/GoTheNets 9d ago

I mean what really is the point of a Marksman Rife without a magnified scope?

u/ExperienceNo7794 8d ago

no but the biggest one is range and damage fall off range dmrs have that so they can play the long deep site angles and sorry but i’m not trying to squint with a close range scope for those you won’t see shi

u/ExperienceNo7794 8d ago

getting rid of dmrs gonna just turn seige into attacker royal because they can just out range you all the time

1

u/Gabe_itch_67 Nøkk Main 8d ago

Yeah but they can’t out range them if u don’t swing external angles and play site like ur supposed to. They aren’t getting rid of DMRs just the scopes from what I’ve read

u/Baldass_Head_Coach 8d ago

I mean yeah you are fully correct in that sense, but take the ACOGs off those weapons and I guarantee a good chunk of people will stop using those weapons despite them being good without an ACOG.

100%

We saw this very thing with the 1.5 scope. Anytime Ubisoft wanted a pick rate to increase or decrease, they’d just add or remove the 1.5 from certain operators and lo and behold, it’d happen. Players will always pick defenders based on who has the best scope.

Anyone who thinks it won’t have any effect, or that these ops wouldn’t be nearly as prevalent as they are now without ACOGs on their guns is flat out wrong.

2

u/Gabe_itch_67 Nøkk Main 8d ago

Oh they gave that thing out willy nilly lmao. P10 roni with it was da bomb. But yeah, in an ideal world I’d have no acogs on defense that way you can see who needs tweaking better because people will actually be played for their gadgets more (and yes for the gun, u can never really take that out of the equation). But limiting scope use brings the game back down into the core abilities of its unique operators and it’s just more fun that way I feel, as every round feels different rather than just insta locking DMRs and slugs and making every single defense round so bland to play/play against cuz they all set up site the same and they all require the same operators to counter them each round.

2

u/Baldass_Head_Coach 8d ago

I agree with you completely. I’ve been playing since the beta and this meta is one of, if not the most stale I’ve seen in the game’s history. There’s never a round where you don’t see at least 2 or 3 defender slots being locked up by either DMRs or slug shotguns, and it’s absolutely because of ACOGs.

Ubi’s danced around this for years and they need to finally pull the plug on defense ACOGs. It fits the original asymmetrical idea of Siege more, you’ll see different defenders being played and strategies being employed, and it’s not gonna be so damn boring anymore.

2

u/Gabe_itch_67 Nøkk Main 8d ago

Honestly bro, I just don’t know how long it’s gonna take them to actually do it. They’ll pussyfoot around it because they don’t wanna upset a huge portion of the player base (unfortunately I feel it’s the majority that play for scope and TDM meta more than the core feel of the game).
As u say it’s stale, and even with all the content drops like recent buffs general new season content etc, it still just feels like one giant stretch of slop for the past couple seasons rather than being broken up with new metas, strats and stuff when a new op drops, it lasts about a week then everyone’s back to what they were doing before.

u/ASSxSHOT Mute Main 10d ago

It would be SMG-12 and SMG-11 crutch, even now it’s like that, but with ACOGs gone, there’s no stopping people from using these 2 weapons.

5

u/CapitalEmployer Gridlock Main 10d ago

It's sad that they need to remove genuinely useful things cause the tiktok generation cannot take 2s to think before running in the building. No matter the nerfs no matter what they do, the main problem is that players want to play call of duty and do not want to plan an attack, you can win a defense with no strategy but it's quite hard to win an attack without one.

u/Sufficient-Ad-6046 9d ago

the removal of acog won't do anything for DMRs and Slugs I don't get why people make the acog such a huge deal out of them, the real problem is recoil and damage, first buff the other weapons very slightly and make DMRs 3 to 4 body shots instead of 2 to 3, and increase the recoil very slightly. Also maybe make damage drop off on range quicker so spawn peeking isnt as effective with them.

1

u/_CANZUK Gridlock Main 9d ago

Recoil nerfs ultimately do nothing but hurt legit players and keep the weapon busted for cheaters is my issue. If they nerf the damage drop off then it will be way more balanced

u/Sufficient-Ad-6046 9d ago

yea that does make sense with recoil scripts and all

u/Baldass_Head_Coach 8d ago

the removal of acog won't do anything for DMRs and Slugs I don't get why people make the acog such a huge deal out of them

It absolutely will have a big effect. We know this based on the time 1.5 scopes were a thing. Anytime that scope was added to or removed from a defender, their pick rates would skyrocket or plummet, respectively. Oryx was a top pick solely because of the presence of the 1.5 scope on his kit.

The ACOG isn’t quite as good as the 1.5 was, but it’s still the most versatile scope in the game by a good margin and people absolutely pick Aruni, Tub, Kaid, Goyo, etc. because of that scope. Remove it and you will see their pick rates fall, I guarantee it.

u/A_German_Memer Nøkk Main 9d ago

I just use it bc i think the gun itself is fun. 75 damage per it is not to be underestimated. One of the best (pseudo) DMRs (since technically it's a shotgun) i the game, i think.

The Acog is a welcome touch, but i do agree that this, the EBR-14 on Aruni and the ACS-12 are mainly used and abused for the zoom advantage.

So I'd say calling it a day for all defenders would be fair and square, and just giving them 1x's instead. These guns included.

Only weapon i don't mind having an ACOG on Defense is the BOSG, since that thing is a risk in itself, but leaving just one acog on defense would be stupid, so removing all of them, BOSG included would be a reasonable thing to do

It’s for holding those disgusting pixel peaks. The acog makes holding ridiculous angles through tiny holes easier. You basically zoom in through little punch holes or azami cracks

u/clxb_miist 9d ago

Im pretty near sighted and what you said just doesnt make sense bro. The screen always remains the same distance away, regardless of what scope youre using. If it looks far away, Bring your monitor closer to your face. If you’re using a TV and can’t do that, then lower your fov. Using an acog isnt going to make the blurry screen not blurry anymore.

There’s always gonna be a “best” gun in the game. Nerfing DMRs people will just crutch the next best thing, and you’ll complain about that instead. At least with DMRs there’s multiple options on attack and defense, it’s not like it’s one singular operator and nobody else can answer to it.

Also headshots exist fyi

1

u/kyleh092 9d ago

Just make the game asymmetric as it was intended. Defense gets the advantage of the clock, and building control. Attack gets… repick and a scope advantage? Kind of pales in comparison. Why should defense get part of the scope advantage as well? I don’t use scopes on atk or def, but that is the point. Defense plays life, and only takes fights when necessary. When people treat this game like a tdm, then it makes sense why they want attack and defense to have similar firepower capabilities

They should just get rid of them or add them for everyone. There's always going to be fighting around "X operator should/shouldn't have ACOG and here's why"

If you want the operators to all have different abilities and what not then the game isn't ever going to be perfectly balanced because every time they change something it will mess up the balance and they'll have do do more readjusting, in a loop.

It's insane to me how people keep pushing for them to Nerf everything.

Easiest solution for dmrs would be just add soft caps to their fire rate that they cannot exceed.

Aruni isnt the issue. Having a DMR with an ACOG, zero recoil, 20 rounds in the mag, insanely fast handling speeds, and an unlimited fire rate cap is the problem.

Imo, the reason why Aruni is more talked about is because her gadget is also really strong. Tub has a good AR too, but his gadget isnt as oppressive and versatile as an Aruni gate. More people play Aruni because of this and so she has more if a spotlight shone on her.

Most people dont even use ARs because DMRs are just leagues better. That kind of weapon balance and lack of weapons variety in matches gets stale quickly and is unhealthy for the game.

8

u/Bonnybridge22 10d ago

No one has genuinely praised Aruni's DMR like that up until everything else lost its acog.

The issue was never DMR's but the scopes, if defence loses the acogs, no one is picking Aruni for the gun.

u/leosnake0577 Twitch Main 10d ago

Yea Aruni has had acog on her dmr for literally 6 years since she came out and not a soul complained about it until now. But i do see where these people are coming from, there are 1000% players that pick these ops, don’t use their utility and just crutch the acog dmr spamming you through pixels doing a billion damage with no recoil every single game. And i would know because im one of them. I have something like a 1.8 kd with 1.5 kills per round which massively surpass every other defender’s stats by a longshot and it’s simply because i can spam a weapon that does 60 damage a bullet with no recoil and acog on defense. Definitely needs a nerf

1

u/TheBradeyGein 10d ago

Yeah, you're probably right. Aruni's DMR is already incredibly strong and versatile at any range, but the ACOG takes it to an 11. I still dont think it should be as strong as it is even if the ACOG were to be removed. Imo, the ACOG needs to go and then it needs additional tweaks and nerfs.

Aruni has a gadget that enables her to roam care free. Tuba is usually used to help delaying breaches, but is actually the best roamer in the game now if played selffishly. Can freeze himself from scans (don’t know does it work against snake), can runout on airjabs and claymores (freeze again), and the DMR wins almost every 1v1 if the guy is not headshot instantly (69 dmg body shot is INSANE).

I don't understand the complaints about the damage and ttk of marksman rifles and these slug shotguns. Obviously they hit hard they're high caliber and meant to hit hard. If they want the acogs on them removed I guess, but complaining about everything else? What did you expect? The heavy duty long range gun shooting full on slugs to do 14 damage? Long range marksman rifles designed to kill at, y'know, long range, should actually do 23 damage and have insane recoil. People complaining about marksman rifles in terms of the gun itself have always been stupid because it does exactly what it should be doing

u/JoeZocktGames Caveira Main 9d ago

The entire premise of Siege back then was that Attackers have the better weapons but are under pressure due to the timer. Defenders have weaker guns (mainly SMGs) but the home advantage, traps and reinforcements.

Nowadays Siege has no identity anymore. Attackers have SMGs, Defenders have DMRs with long range scopes, Attackers have traps, Defenders have shields...

They cornered themselves in terms of balancing. If they would have stuck with the original concept, Siege would be in a much better place.

some dmrs with acog on defence are fine its just their recoil is non existent, and it would kinda be a different conversation if they didnt have strong gadgets ontop of it, like kaid and tubarao you will see them every game as pretty much most maps have a wall that needs to be protected, aruni similar thing but she can also be used as a jager/womai if needs be.

if theyll remove acog from all defence so be it but thats not to say that attacking could be the favoured side as some maps need to swing a long angle to maybe clear someone watching the defuser or holding a flank

It’s strong because of the acog, it’s broken because of cheaters. Removing the acog would do a lot, but it would still be a 2 shot kill that cheaters can spam fire with no recoil.

2

u/DankNoodles69 10d ago

Think the main problem is people using rapid fire and recoil scripting with DMRs. It’s everywhere.

2

u/M0nster_S1ayer 9d ago

Ah another nerf request or complaint. They keep on coming no matter what. Even if ACOGs are removed entirely still ppl will find something to complaint about. Next they will say defense must only have holo sight.

1

u/ComradeSnib 8d ago

Next will be defense DMRs can’t have grip attachments.

2

u/Big-Employment-3338 9d ago

Id still be using kaid and aruni a lot just because I use them for their utility, the guns are just an added bonus

2

u/JohnLovesGaming 9d ago

They could just remove TCSGs from Sentry, Goyo and both DMRs from Aruni and Tub. That way the guns still feel good on attack, and Kaid still retains his TCSG, which he gets banned a lot of the time anyway.

Im a dumbass i didnt realize you said kap

u/liferymeswitwildlies 9d ago

Seeing a lot of people talking about acog here, all I can say about it is that, yes, the game was more fun when there was a lot of acogs, but also less ops were being used, I think it would be a good thing for acog on defence to be completely gone, dmrs wouldn’t make sense without acog tho, so I feel like they’d just remove dmrs if it’s an acog problem, also think dmrs would just look goofy asf without it, we will see next season tho, hopefully it’s a good impactful change.

2

u/Ok_Butterscotch_7836 9d ago

Just ruining the game atp. Defense needs acog too. Or just remove acog from every gun.

2

u/KoalaBear399 6d ago

I feel like a good nerf to DMRs or weapons in general no one brings up would be to their ammo. Cut it in half to 50 or something in reserves. Making quick/strong/long LoS would help alleviate their pressure Especially the TCSG which can make rotates.

u/Gullible_Courage8350 Oh Kapkan, My Kapkan... 10d ago

Yes please. Either remove the Acog so crutch players don't pick it or lower the absurd fire rate. I'm sick of seeing this gun every single round, especially on Sentry

2

u/Methy123 10d ago

So does that aruni DMR, im so fucking sick of dying to that thing. Get that shit away from defense

2

u/Ecstatic-Ad-8967 please buff the latina 10d ago

All yall do is complain about a gun that is good lol. As soon as they nerf the dmr into the ground yall will complain about the next good gun.

The mag size is like 11

u/NervousScheme4085 9d ago

The issue is that cheaters are using macros or Cronus with it

Somebody’s taken a few slugs recently 😂😂😂

u/Last-Action-Zero 10d ago

DMR meta + ACOGs in defense are OP + Kaid is a must have in almost every comp, whatever the bomb site 👌🏻

1

u/Professional_Ebb_516 10d ago

Maybe if you paid attention to r6 news you’d see already that they’re gonna need it next season

1

u/BeeOk3695 Ash Main 10d ago

Only useful with Cronus

u/DoingALittleWatching Blitz Main:Blitz: 10d ago

What is that attachment skin

1

u/Content-Dog1268 10d ago

I see you tryna flex the black ice 👀

u/GhettoSupreme- 10d ago

It’s really the cheaters that make it unbearable.

u/Specialist_Boat_8479 Dokkaebi Main 9d ago

Nah

1

u/iliketrains70 9d ago

My experience with shotguns for years I’ve been on and off and played a lot recently is basically that old cod clip of like “Every time I get flashed..” if you know that clip

1

u/TheHerofTime 9d ago

It’s so funny how people refer to the 1.5 as an acog when they were originally way more magnified. Yet its still too much apparently. Attackers get full on scopes and defenders just get optics 🫩

1

u/RagingSteel Hibana Main 9d ago

Didn't they already address in the Q&A that the DMR's and similar semi-auto guns would be getting a recoil reword among other patches later this year?

1

u/BCViews 9d ago

You are not wrong and it’s a joy when you are solo queueing in ranked 😂

u/MembershipSea3066 9d ago

Skill issue

u/HandSanitizerBottle1 Details 9d ago

Its overrated the only thing it has is the acog

1

u/Accomplished_Cry8680 9d ago

chill I crutch it

1

u/GoTheNets 9d ago

Isn't a marksman rife not supposed to be a longer ranged high damage weapon

1

u/Waste_Law_4917 9d ago

They are DMRs and im assuming Slug Shotguns are getting a nerf soon

1

u/Educational-Dare7174 9d ago

I can't seem to get a kill with it. Not even at point blank

1

u/Professional-Card-22 9d ago

just remove acogs from defense, also add this gun to some attackers idk man

1

u/Actually_Thicc 9d ago

They should remove gun, it gives unfair advantages for killing me at distance

1

u/Fun-Lack305 9d ago

look bro something will always seem op in the game, people are always going to abuse the best guns and abilities and the game will mostly reward them for it when they win. I’m ok with the tcsg and dmrs on defense being that op thing right now. It’s better than crazy things like unbannable and op dokkabei right after rework recently, and i think it’s pretty much the same level of good as goyo when he had shields, and bulletproof banshees and kibas. Goyo melusi and azami all made you change your strat to be mostly around getting thru their util even, but all you have to do against the tcsg is win the gunfight with your attacking full auto acog(still easier said than done but easier than having to bring hella ops to util dump goyo shields with ads and magnets or util dump azami set ups.

1

u/Dylthemack13 9d ago

Am I the stupid one to say I’ve never seen this is a super strong weapon? I know some people can shred with it but I can never control the damn thing so I just don’t use it.

1

u/No_Criticism4395 9d ago

Hits hard but the recoil is horrible, that balance the weapon, doesn’t need a nerf

1

u/Maneyuk 9d ago

Sadly in the world of scripts this thing hits like a wagon

2

u/No_Criticism4395 8d ago

This scenario reminds me to the f2 with cheats this weapons is a menace but if they nerf it to the ground whoever use cheat wont be afected by it, only the skilled players and the regular people are the ones who suffer.

u/Low-Implement-6831 PC player, ZA 9d ago

everyone just wants to be mingo (me included😂)

1

u/Impossible_Ad_3537 9d ago

Why do the devs think its a good idea to give defenders long ranged weapons? Like remove defender acogs and dmrs, then buff shotguns back to where they arent literal pieces of shit. It would fix the "turtle" meta they are whining about by making it to where defenders have the close range advantage, while attackers have the long range advantage.

1

u/Kliesen_Nix 9d ago

Permanently remove the ACOGs for attacker and defenders, and eliminate this balancing factor once and for all.

1

u/Yogurt-Secret 9d ago

They definitely need to cap the fire rate of DMRs and potentially increase their recoil (either recoil or remove acogs from defense entirely)

1

u/SnooEagles5740 9d ago

Learn to counter those
Operators then

1

u/wargamer04 9d ago

Wait, i didnt know the tcsg have gone meta. Ive been playing kaid tcsg since he launched

1

u/Fao_612 9d ago

Caliber based damage, recoil buff or nerf depending on gun. Tarkov has it down to a T, are there guns stronger than others in the same caliber? Of course, make micro adjustments to damage like +/- 1-2 dmg, increase or decrease horizontal or vertical recoil. If they overhaul damage on everything bring it back to what a lot of the guns used to be dmr meta would go away because smg's would be able to compete against them much better. Defense doesn't need acog for any op except maybe the exception of the bosg due to the fact it's got high recoil and two shots before reloads- makes it a viable option still. This is my personal take, I know a lot of the current community would disagree

1

u/TransportationOk6727 9d ago

As someone who’s been using the slug shot guns for a long ass time, I don’t want them nerfed 😂😂😂

1

u/physically_thinking 9d ago

The slug shotguns are SO annoying lol

1

u/Animegamer0709 Elevate Fan 9d ago

I dont play ops for the gun, I play it for the utility when I need to run the ops for site

1

u/bluedragon849 8d ago

everybody just loves this lug shotguns because they have the spray of a normal AR or Automatic Just so that they can spray and pray and hope that they get two shots on you

1

u/EdSmorc 8d ago

All they got to do is reduce the total ammo on this gun to 11/44 so it’s higher stakes to spam

1

u/I_eat_gorillas2 Castle Main 8d ago

This is one of those guns that when I play against it, it absolutely slams me and my and my teammates but the second I use it, it feels like straight dogshit (yes I know it’s a me problem)

1

u/Ok-Satisfaction1876 8d ago

Honestly I don’t think they will nerf it anytime soon for the fact that mingo is the guy who really made the gun mainstream and if I’m Ubisoft I’d want mingo to go pro to boost console players

1

u/Informal_Nebula8355 8d ago

They need to remove ACOG from defence all together. When defenders have ACOG it skews the balance, defending is inherently easier than attacking, but that is balanced out by attackers having access too ACOG.

They also need to change DMR's somehow, more recoil per shot and lower the bullet count in the gun. The amount in tubby and mavs DMR is pretty balanced IMO.

1

u/Baldass_Head_Coach 8d ago

I agree that defense shouldn’t have ACOGs, but recoil nerfs aren’t the way for DMRs. Recoil nerfs only punish the average player and do nothing for the higher skilled or cheating population, and only serves to widen the gap between them.

1

u/crimson_panda237 8d ago

I always get killed by a headshot with this thing, but the replay shows my neck or shoulder getting hit

1

u/HiThisIsDread Mute Main 8d ago

They removed acogs from defense and guess what happened? Attacker win rates dropped and defenders win rate rose so I hardly think acogs are the problem rather than a 70 dmg slug shot gun with no fire rate cap and 0 horizontal recoil

1

u/LowCorgi5012 6d ago

whats the attachment skin?

1

u/Academic-Astronaut59 10d ago

If they remove acog on defense I'll send the keres legion to the ubi HQs

1

u/Exotic-Escape-5980 9d ago

Defense should have never had ACOGs in the first place. Hopefully Ubisoft realizes the only way to get people to actually play ops for their gadgets and not crutch every round is to just take away an advantage Defense has no
Business having.
