For those unaware, CIG updated numbers on character health to increase Time To Kill (TTK). I agree that TTK needs to be increased, I just disagree how CIG implemented it. Armor adjustments for increasing TTK is better over just changing numbers of character health and lowering dmg multipliers. Here are the changes. Player : Health Pool PU : 70 -> 150 Health Head PU : 10 -> 30 Health Torso PU : 20 -> 60 Health Left/Right Arm PU : 12 -> 36 Health Left/Right Leg PU : 16 -> 42 With this TTK change, CIG also reduced the headshot multiplier from 7 down to 5 across all weapons. Now getting to the topic at hand. P6 does 22 dmg - with the current head shot multiplier that comes to 110 dmg. Now factor in heavy armor because there is no downside to wearing a heavy helm compared to a light helm - 40% dmg reduction - 110 x%40 = 44. Now take that 44 away from 110 = 66. The P6 does 66 dmg to the head at point blank with a heavy helm... So 3 shots to incap someone... Does that sound like the way it should be? AO3 and Scalpel -16 dmg / headshot multiplier 16 x 5 = 80 / helm 40% dmg reduction - 80 x %40 = 32 / minus dmg reduction 80 - 32 = 48 / so 48 x 4 = 192 dmg which means 4 shots to the head to incap Arrowhead -16 dmg / charged shot multiplier 16 x 1.7 = 27.2 / headshot multiplier = 27.2 x 5 = 136 / helm 40% dmg reduction - 136 x %40 = 54.4 / minus dmg reduction 136 - 54.4 = 81.6 / so 81.6 x 2 = 163.2 which means 2 shots to the head to incap Atzkav -17 dmg / headshot multiplier 17 x 5 = 85 / helm 40% dmg reduction - 85 x %40 = 34 / minus dmg reduction 85 - 34 = 51 / so 51 x 3 = 153 which means 3 shots to the head to incap P6-LR -22 dmg / headshot multiplier 22 x 5 = 110 / helm 40% dmg reduction - 110 x %40 = 44 / minus dmg reduction 110 - 44 = 66 / so 66 x 3 = 198 which means 3 shots to the head to incap So goodbye sniping until CIG decides to do a weapon balance sometime in the future. EDIT: For those that dont understand the term "Sniping" here is a definition for you - the action of shooting at someone from a hiding place, especially accurately and at long range. Yall doubters go ahead and look at this vid. Those shots are 670 meters requiring 2 headshots on medium helmets for a kill months before these TTK/modifier changes. That will be impossible with these changes. If you say youll still be able to do this after these changes, youre full of shit. And to add to this you can take a sniper shot to the head without dying without a helmet on... Let that sink in... I apologize if I dont get back to a particular message or reply thats directed towards me. With the way CIG does spectrum, I have no clue if a reply is for me or someone else and its so hard to find it when looking at the whole thread. Please @ me if you are replying directly to me.
