keyword : sneaker can easily sneak up from behind


sneaking up on someone from behind has allways been the way to go right? why dont you be more ready and counter them by
a) stand with your back up against a wall?
b) keep moving  ( will help vs 1hex burst )
c) team up and look both ways

thats all i can think of for now, but i bet there are allot more ways to counter sneakers.

Motion Detector?

Also, Flashlights would be a good thing.
I saw graphics for what looked like directional lighting during the Wipe Madness in SF.
Maybe get a gun-mounted flashlight.

Throw flares?
But they are rare.

Even if silent death didn't exist, you two guys would be killed by 2-3 lsw sneakers anyway. So what bothers you? That you don't see them or that they don't lose as much stuff as you?

Well, getting LSW is not as easy as GG. And most impoortant: LSW sneakers rarly one shot. Before wipe LSW sneakers where doing 50-100 dmg from range. Now SD sneakers are doing 200-300 dmg from range. Do you see a difference?

The thing is LSW sneakers deserve to POWn cause they use expansive high tier weapons and you stil have a chance against them.

SD sneakers are powning with chipest gun starting level 15 without any chances to survive them (except if they are complitely noob or you outnumber them 2 against 1)

Reroling SD while waiting for SD burst nerfing

It seems it's been dealt with. In Your Face perk works with bursts now.

I'm not sure that's going to be enough :-)

[Onihane]

Oh, if that is the case with in your face then awsome. I think ill take that on my traditional critical burst AR build so I can stand up to a failed sneak attacker. Cool.

[Jackall]

In your face isn't the solution, a ranged burst can still deal an insane damage.

[Shantu]

I don't want this to look like whining, but this is what happened to me:
I was killing centaurs/floaters/aliens with M60 for XP in the desert near Lost Hills (in TB). I saw two guys enter the encounter while in combat; I killed one of them because he looked threatening, and let the other leave because he didn't. After the fight ended, I walked to the pile of items that the first one left behind when out of nowhere a SD burster appeared, dealing 500+ damage to me with a Grease Gun. And it wasn't a onehex as far as I recall.
Now, my character is built to be as resilient as possible: 242 hp (going to be 287 as soon as I get third lifegiver), double toughness, stonewall, man of steel etc. With all my perks spent on survival, shouldn't I survive at least one burst?

As for the perk.. it's Silent Death. How are bursts silent?

Silent is the person BEFORE he bursts an unexpecting victim in the back.

This perk should affect only single shots, not bursts. I hope Solar will nerf it(because its needed) and destroy your fun 

[pti4ka]

looks like he already fix it...not sure (when I playing  by sneaker there is no more 300+ damage for CA toughned views).

But if it will works only on single shots this perk must give +20-30 to critroll chance.

[Kelin]

Again, don't tell me this perk is overpowered, yesterday I bursted ~130 hp SoT twice (critburst 100 hp + regular 30 hp) and he managed to survive.

[pti4ka]

Now sneakers work normal. Most problems from them-for bluesuits in guarding cities...
Heavy-handed unarmed are more big problem on this moment...

Ps. Anyway there are a lot of hard bugs with TC and some perks that need to be fixed...

[avv]

looks like he already fix it...not sure

So how was it fixed?

[pti4ka]

So how was it fixed?

For example now biggunners don't dying in 1 burst...
