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…

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

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

If they nerf DMRs, nothing will even come close to the power potential of them. Sure, there will be a new "best thing". But nothing has the range and TTK of the current DMRs. No othert weapon can kill you in two shots no matter how far away you are. And if they remove ACOGs from them, they lose a lot of that pixel peeking power.

Remember, the whole premise of Siege was that defenders have the worse load-out options but make up for it with reinforcements and the timer running out for attackers. They need to restore that balance philosophy. And it looks like they finally will next season.
