One Shot One Kill !

Post » Fri Apr 08, 2011 5:31 pm

Hi, I just want to ask, is there going to be a one shot one kill in BRINK? i mean why would they make a Barret sniper rifle ( Bolt action ) if they won't make it do one shot one kill.
As Far as i know using sniper is not easy and need you to have a lot of skills.
So are they going to make it do one shot one kill or not ?

The only one shot one kill in the game is getting a headshot on an unbuffed light with a buffed Barnett Rifle. The reason why the Barnett is a bolt action rifle that doesn't one shot kill is because it's more of a support weapon.

OHK are in Brink, but they are only in extreme circumstances and will be extremely rare. there are no Sniper Rifles, only Long Rifles, which are used for mid-to-long range combat and support (pin them down, flush them out, or finish them off). No sniping, but marksmanship is possible.

WRONG! OHK with the barnett (unbuffed) to an unbuffed light (headshot or not).

I must know, what exactly do people think a sniper, or sniper rifle, is?

To answer OP, yes you will be able to drop a guy with one shot in certain circumstances, but it sems (for now at least) that anybody who gets dropped still has a chance of being revived, so don't forget to double tap.

Not certain circumstance. The only circumstance on a full health player is light character headshot. Perhaps the weapon buff circumstance on light characters as well.

It IS the hardest to use of all weapons, except for a rocket launcher without homing when trying to hit a chopper while in flight, but Brink doesn't have neither a Rocket Launcher or a Chopper.

@First statement: Thats what I'm trying to figure out. It was given a different name but it's still the same damn thing. Everyone acts like SD made a whole new type of gun

@Last Remark: Zombieland?

@ "@First statement" I know, right? It seems that people magically believe that snipers have disappeared because our scopes don't come attached to the rifle. Some assembly required will not slow me down.

@ "@Last Remark" Yes.

Long Rifles are more like a RL Battle Rifle than a RL Sniper Rifle is what i am getting at. SD downplayed sniping. while you can slap a scope on a Long Rifle and snipe, it isn't as effective as a realistic Sniper Rifle. for most shooters, the lack of a sniper would svck. for most games, snipers are to easy to manipulate. for Brink, the lack of snipers works out pretty good.

You can count on shooting the Fuc,ker more then once with a sniper rifle to bring him down 90% of the time, sadly.

I think a Buffed Long Rifle should take down Light and ME that are not buffed with one HS.

OHK snipers do not require skill, but they can be used with extreme skill. Everyone has faced at least one person who stays back a ways with a sniper and is nigh untouchable. SD devs have actually commented on the fact that they never claimed sniping doesnt take skill, and can in fact be very hard against skilled players.

The reason they took away a lot of the power of sniper rifles compared to other games is that a sniper who manages to dominate ruins the fun of the game for a lot of other players. One player having a good time with five or ten other players suffering for it is a very bad ratio as a developer, as Richard Ham said.

HAHAHA! Don't make me laugh! I have yet to have seen a sniper in an FPS that wasn't over powered. And I am not saying that from the victim's perspective but the sniper's perspective. It is so easy to kill with a sniper. [/rant] (I also do not mean to offend anyone who prefers it that way. It is just my opinion.)

OT: As you read by now, there is not a single weapon in the game that can kill (or incapacitate) in one hit. The sniper is used for support not domination; they way it should be.

Depends. Guides tell us lights have 120 hp, and the Barrett deals 125 damage in a single shot. Maybe there is a passive mitigation on the body types, even lights?

Either way, any light getting caught in the open where a sniper can nail him was probably asking for it.

On the other hand, if my trusty Rifle does not take said foe out of the action, I will just pull out my little sea eagle and wipe the floor with him :hubbahubba:

While there is now a market for what are deemed "Sniper Rifles" like the Barret .50 cal and similar weapons, that is a case of manufacturers specializing in the making of an item, and not a case of the item needing to be specialized. A sniper rifle can be any high precision rifle fitted for "extreme ranges".

But for the purposes of FPS gaming the argument is unneccesary as the "long/light rifles" are simply descoped sniper rifles which we can then put back together again. There will be no lack of snipers, but due to the smaller numbers involved in the game and the objective-centric play there also won't likely be an over abundance. There will, hipefully, be the right number of skilled marksmen.

And as EASy88 noted, the Barnett is more than enough rifle with which to snipe.
