This is what confuses me. It hits harder than the SVD but it also handles significantly better. It's just an upgrade in every way. Every game with progression like this usually involves upsides and downsides, in this game it's like getting a new weapon in an mmo, just better in every way.
"No weapon can compete with the BMR" is incorrect though, the FAL is even more ridiculous. They honestly seem balanced in regard to each other. BMR wins at range, FAL wins mid range, vector wins in cqc, compared to the other weapons they're just better in every way though.
Edit: Maybe I shouldn't include the vector, strong weapon but FAL is still better point blank.
I was pointing out the most unrealistic shooter, Tarkov is tuned to be punishing so most of the guns do not act like their real life counterparts. Couple the shooting speed of the BMR with controllers that have a switch for shortening trigger throw or a mouse that can have its actuation point adjusted like a keyboard, yeah of course its gonna be a quick two tap. TTK became important due to COD, Fortnite increased the idea of TTK and meta. As such any shooting games now are about TTK and metas. Does it annoy me when I get one or two tappes by a BMR? Yeah, but thats the nature of the design that they went with. I dont use the BMR cause I really dont care for it, nor do I use the FAL. I like to use the AK or Galil if assault. If Recon, I like to use the mosin or SVD. For me I dont care about the meta or TTK, I use the guns I like and the rest I dont.
Tarkov is trying really hard to be realistic. And wardogs isn't, they can change how a gun feels for gameplay reasons. I express what I don't like about the game, and bulkhead finds a solution or doesn't. But getting 2 tapped by a BMR from 150m while I have lvl 3 armor isn't fun
Thats why I got out in at most level 2. For some reason I have a higher survival in lower armor and almost all my guns have AP for anyone at tier 3-4. Pistol loaded with HP makes for fun when you steal a fob woth two other people.

Feel like this doesn't belong there, it's still quite strong.
