If you did insta-kill how the hell he could have survived?
Last season, no one was complaining about lack of instantkills, they were present but happened very rarely. I agree with Kilgore to leave instantkills at 1-2%. The thing is that sniper still has some nasty attacks like KO/KD/blind/bypass and was meant to be a support "class".
i would like idea to have instant kill chance according to weapon. Only few weapons should have this ability who are really expensive and not really balanced like plasma rifle, bozar, XL70E3, gauss rifle, pulse rifle. Now even ghoul with 1 melee damage can instantly kill you hth wtf?
Also the shot in the eye IRL will kill you instantly with 95% probability, and games is about imitiate reality.
Bullshit. Ever heard of knockouts? Also you completely forgot about weapon's range.
Knockouts are rare enough that you can't rely on them and range doesn't really help that much in pvp because most combat takes place in the 10-30 hex range due to the size of towns.
Either way you can't say 13% chance to kill is op because bursters have a 50%(Or more) chance to kill and about the same range. You don't insta kill in that brief window of time and you die, it's that simple. Plus the specs to do it are way more restrictive than any other build and it's less effective. Fonline needs variety so it isn't just a minigun fest like last version.Your idea of a sniper is a crippler support class and that isn't what snipers do.
