Who still uses Mosin (+LRS) for range kills?!

I just did.

 

Though the range was not that far.

Ideally the mosin should not be making 1000m shots anyway.

 

I know right? I don't think that's possible for a surplus WW2 rifle.

Make sure you splint if you have a lot of sway, there's actually very little sway if your arm isn't fucked.  Unfortunately, you can't really tell, so just splint all the time.

 

It takes a lot of shots to kill anyone who is geared though, is the biggest issue with sniping right now imo.  It is also pretty difficult to see impacts to adjust.  Honestly, I think the devs are very biased against snipers for some reason.  They have finished sniper rifles they don't want to implement yet, and they've said that the LRS was only put on the mosin because Rocket wanted it.  I think Rocket was good in that he didn't particularly care about trying to "balance" player interactions/playstyles.  I feel like the team now has developed a bias, especially from their language talking about "1337 snipex0rs" or whatever and fail to realize that sniping isn't as big of a deal as they think it is, and more importantly it isn't a behavior they should be trying so hard to dictate.

 

The game is our story after all, and I don't see why if one person prefers sniping and one person prefers a 75 round drum akm, that either playstyle should be moderated.
