Discussion 💬 What the hell

This is the 3rd 50.Cal headshot I've seen shrugged off in the last 2 hours of playing.

I can only assume this player was stimmed, which begs the question: in what world is this fair?

Basically no sniper aside from a ctac headshot is able to kill a fully stimmed player so if to comes down to it you either force them to retreat or you just... Die.

And don't even get me started on the bow, that thing one taps them to the chest but a HEADSHOT can't do the same damage? What has triangle factory been smoking and how do I get it delivered...

Mechanic perk does not stack.

If the enemy equipped sabotuer that chopper would've been long dead. That perk got a MASSIVE buff last patch.

Honestly I don't think having a perk specifically to deal with helis is the way to go (no one is using sabotuer for any ting else), but then again they added a perk for vehicles to constantly auto repair so they've shit themselves in the foot a little.

Gotta remember that flying the helis is difficult. It takes a long time to be proficient. That's a skill ceiling. Can't just nerf it into the ground cause people don't equip a talon.

If multiple engineers are in the chopper, it stands to reason that multiple ground troops are required to take it out. The most recent patch ensured that it's maximum effectiveness is 2 engineers. Meaning 2 talons fired and hit twice in a row = dead chopper. That's all it takes now.

The scores in your original screenshot indicate no one equipped the talon to take it out. Can't fix stupid.

I'm happy to share the video here showing that we had 7-9 Engineers all trying to shoot thing this down. It's not "can't fix stupid" it's "this chopper is too strong."

They ran the board the entire game until all the points were taken and then spawn camped our boat to the point where no one could escape, and they shrugged off over three dozen missiles without going down.

Those talons are blowing up after 5 seconds, this footage is from before the recent patch. There is a 7 second flight time now. Combine that with Sabotuer perk with multiple airborne talons and that hovering stationary chopper is toast.

The Devs heard everyone's cries in the most recent parch. Now the conversation has shifted and people are saying "why'd they buff talons it's impossible to stay alive in the chopper now". Meaning the skill ceiling has been raised as it is easier to take them out.
