Long Rifle Killing?

Post » Tue May 17, 2011 8:27 am

On the topic of LR clips...

http://brink.wikia.com/wiki/Weapons

The table of weapons on that page shows Drognav with clip size of 6, and 30 shots max.

Bolt action effectively requires some measure of reloading between EVERY shot, so at the very least, that significantly reduces ROF, and having it as 1 round clip would make sense.


Well from someone at Pax said the Barret had a clip of 4 and had 12 bullets total. Also a heck of a reload time.

it really dosnt make sense. in a FPS. if it was a one hit incap. i could understand but having to reload every shot would be a major pain and it would probably make me not even consider using it. there should be at least some kind of multiple round detachable magazine

Double-tap is a term used by military, antiterrorist and SWAT-type groups for a quick couple of bullets to the head of a target (often with SMGs that have a burst fire mode like the MP5).

This is a quote i saw on the interview where Stern and Ham were talking about balancing.

We don't even call them sniper rifles, we call them long rifles, so we don't send that message. [censored] of sniper rifles might think it a [censored] gun, but it can still take heavy-armoured players close to death's door with just one shot. So it's still good. You just have to switch guns to finish a guy off, and that's a tactic you don't often see.


I'm confused on what this exactly means. The way he put it it sounds like the rifles can't actually kill anyone and that you need to pull out your other weapon in order to score the kill. Or are they just saying that in regards to the most efficient use of the rifle?

Anyone have info on how this works?



this is not good not fkn good you can move really fast in brink and you can not kill with the sniper WTF if you shout someone with a sniper if will just run way for the corner and get more life and kill you with havy gun like in homefront sniper dont have one shot kill... and you can use outo and sniper with more damage with heat vison or somtheng but if you really vant to to be the player with the highest score you dont use snipers... but that is [censored] i want sniper with 1 shot 1 kill this is not good game balance

You didn't bother reading the rest of the thread, did you?

Snipers have low ROF.

Sniper shot followed by finishing with another weapon isn't going to be NECESSARY, only FASTER.

You can incapacitate an already-wounded enemy with your LR easily enough.

And this is an arcade shooter, they've DELIBERATELY avoided one-hit kills (or incapacitation, because when you go down, you're not dead yet).

It'll be BETTER balanced, and faster-paced because of this.

EDIT: And they won't have the option of "outrun you then come back with a heavy gun" - they can only do one or the other, because heavy bodies can have heavy weapons, light bodies can't, and heavy bodies aren't outrunning anyone..

Then don't play the game, we'll be better off without you.

Oh well, Wraith is right. Two the chest and one to the head will always make the target dead.
