Yeah, post it. I don't ever remember ever hearing about any heavy weapon being a OHK.

It's because there isn't. Only a buffed Barret going against an unbuffed light is a OHKnockdown

8:37 "There are no one shot kills in the game"
When he says "Except as a light... when you get a headshot from one of the heavier weapons that will bring you down" by "heavier" he is using it to mean the more damage dealing weapons. He is specifically talking about light rifles which are not specific to the heavy body type. Light rifles are the ONLY weapons in the game that can one-shot kill an unbuffed light to the head. I can see how you could be confused by the guy in the video.

can everyone rewind and read the post that i replied to above about the one hit kill . the guy posted he wanted to be a light bodied sniper and i warned him that if your a light body sniper then you could be killed by one hit from a heavy body with a heavy weapon. and that's what it says in the vid . i never made it up i only quoted exactly what i was told.

Says the guy who has been here a week.

Light Rifles (The Barret to be more specific) can one shot only if it's buffed and you shooting an unbuffed light.

Thanks for clarifying that, I worded it really oddly I guess :thumbsup:

ok i watched the vid again there and your right there is no quote of a heavy weapon from a heavy character so fair enough i was wrong to say that. but it would make sense for that to be the case because then it would balance out the fast skinny guy and the heavy slow guy so that they were equal to each other so why is this not the case then.

The sentence below is a lie.

The sentence above is true.

Creating an un-ending paradox, Slapstick, eh?

And if two heavies slide-tackle each other, and no one is around to hear it, do they make a sound? :tongue:

It'l work, yes, but it's only a matter of time before someone finds where you are and shoots back, endangering you (and possibly killing you). But if you spend that much time just shooting, trying to annoy the other team like that, you're not helping too much.

Back on topic, you do have a point. However a good sniper in a high perch can be a great demoralizer for the enemy team. Even better, a highly mobile sniper that follows his squad around from a series of vantage points can be invaluable under the right circumstances.

There's already barely enough incentive to play Light already. With that in place everyone would be heavy.

everyone thinks they will but probably not

Well anyone can use the Barret is available to all body types so a heavy can do it in the right circumstances. Most of the weapons unique to the heavy body type are quite better than the weapons available to the light body type so the heavies do have that advantage. Like the guy said in the video though, they SD doesn't like OHK's because then it feels like the victim isn't actually playing a game because they don't have a chance to react.

Guy asks a simple question, gets followed up by sniper hate, gets followed up my the most confused collection of agreeing statments I've ever seen, what a crazy thread.

Anyways, I believe we determined that it's actually the Barnett, not the Barrett, and yes you can snipe with it.

Heavy weapons don't do extreme damage because if you think about it, lights only have their parkour. Heavy has their health and their huge variety of weapons. If heavy weapons did MORE damage than the many other guns. That would be unfairly unbalanced. They already get about 100 bullets in one clip. It would be impossible for a light to retaliate against a heavy if the heavy has added Health, and Damage, while the light suffers from minimal health in the first place. I would say 5 bullets at the least to kill a light would be fair.

I don't know If I understand this statement
Heavies have access to all weapons, while lights don't even have access to shotguns, Heavies also have more pips, all lights have are parkour
It is and should be impossible for an equally skilled light to take down a heavy.

Yeah i was aking one question wich turned into a crazy thread! Anyways, a Light with a sniper with awesome vantage points can be AWESOME sometimes!

The guy I was replying to said that heavy weapons should do extra damage. I was explaining why that would be a bad and unfair idea.
For example: If the average gun In Brink took 8 shots to kill a medium, and heavy weapons only took 4 on a medium, on lights that would mean about 2 bullets to kill one. That's what I am getting at.
