Do you think explosive ammo will be removed?

Doubt it, although now that we have explosive rounds I don't see any reason we can't also have the Railgun seeing as they practically do the same thing.

Did they ever remove any of the new increasingly OP stuff they released patch after patch after patch?

Did they ever removed anything at all?

Yes.

 

If anything, the Railgun isn't as OP.

 

Has no zoom capabilities like the sniper, but does have a very very short lock on range, literally, Bullpup shotgun range.

Put the railgun on some new mounted vehicle and have where it doesn't aim down. So only to kill jets then.

 

With that being said at this point we probably don't need it.

As long as it flies just fast enough that it takes skill to dodge.

The new answer to the explosive Sniper when I use it in 'Executive Search' Mission: Messages vom RS, that some player kick me, followed by a bad sports warning later.

Had it a few times since yesterday - Thank You RS! *wtf*

No - it's causing me spend research money in pursuit of getting exploding sniper rounds.

 

If u love pvp this make it more interesting.

Great for taking down jet griefers-

More reason not to remove it.

The explosive ammo is NOT as overpowered as you guys think, seriously.

 

The splash damage is minimal, just roll to the side and you get out of the blast radius.

 

Only 4 shots per magazine.

 

Only 10 magazines then the sniper is out of ammo.

 

Ammo costs A LOT.

 

I still find the marksman wiggles more annoying to deal with than the exp. Snipers.

I doubt it'll get removed, besides you only get like 30-40 rounds so it's not that OP imo.

This thread is idiotic, why would they remove something so heavily ingrained into this DLC, the paywall hoops you have to go through just to get the explosive ammo is reason enough for it not to be removed.

No, it won't be removed, but that doesn't mean I'll use it. I'm sticking with extended mags for all my MKII weapons, and special ammo can go f*ck itself. I don't give a sh*t. Honestly, I might not even upgrade my weps. Only guns I'm interested in are the Pistol, SMG, and Carbine.

Fixing or balancing are not in Rockstar's style.

I think it's perfect and I hope they don't remove it because I'm having a blast knocking jets out of the sky.

I don't think they'll remove it, nor that i want it removed, i do want them to let us equip our normal heavy sniper and maybe give us less ammo for the explosive one.

I've caused quite a few wigglers to pack their bags with it lol. As long as you just get higher ground than them (which is always good to have anyway), you can get a nice view of the ground around their feet. Sure, they can wiggle and roll, but eh, I can move the gun where they're going too lol.

 

Not that I'm complaining really about that - I'm not a big fan of wigglers.

 

I guess my biggest beef with them is how p*ss-weak this is against them:

 

 

 

The real thing would be eating those for breakfast. If we're getting the sniper (mostly) as it should be in reality, albeit with the addition of hitscan, and we've got anti-heli real weapons like the homing launcher - it's about time the Savage got some of its strengths it has in reality.

I agree, it is weaker than explosive ammo on a sniper for sure. Such a short range and far less ammo. Hopefully we are able to purchase it soon.

I'ma be honest. I suck at sniping... However, these two attachments are quite the little terrorizers. Lmao!

 

 

 

Tl;Dw

 

15 spawn kills in the most OP way as possible.

Spent 3 years practicing in a jet getting better at flying, one update has totally cleared the skies from jets other than Oppressors.

 

All that time, wasted.

 

E: Can label me as a "jet pussy" if you wish, my youtube is down below where you can see me wreck havok on the ground and the air.

 

I don't abuse passive either.

Yeah I'd say jets are probably even worse off than helicopters at the moment.

 

Don't get me wrong; the explosive snipers render those useless against a vaguely competent player too, but at least they can fly low, hide behind stuff - then just rush them when you're close. A jet's tricky to fly low like that, and is usually going to be out in the open where everyone can snipe you.

 

I personally think they overdid it. Though that's not going to be a popular opinion.

 

But it's out now. No taking it back.

I survived to HE rounds while flying Buzzard. I bailed. No other solution.

From the helicopters I've shot, it seems like the third bullet explodes it.

 

It really doesn't take long to fire off 3 shots at a helicopter too, especially since the helicopter's range is so short it has to jump up and give the enemy a kiss before it can shoot them (while the sniper can reach as far as it needs).

depending distance, I took out one with 2, but below 300 meters. Its really hard now to fly Savage, I dedicate 1 minute to take altitude, then stay in the clouds, and when I reach my destination, I dive brutally to the ground, at 90°.

 

Between the HE rounds and the new flying Homing Launcher, I feel more cornered than ever. Its just another step of BS. Still no buff against normal bullets, no flares...well.

because I'm always flying helico, I spawn CEO Buzzard to get my Cargobob or Savage and make a lot of money from that.
