I think the problem with HVR is not the damage at all i mean all games have snipers that hit so hard and sometimes 1 shot to the body to kill and since apb has no Headshots its ok to have such a sniper but the REAL issue with hvr is that its so easy to use and possible from all ranges since there is no bullet drop or a certain recoil to consider and the the accuracy is really high also the gun can be used in quickswitching so almost available in all situations so i think
maybe if it require more skill to use or have somesort of scope instead of what we have atm ( it basicly should have the high maginification scope as a perm. Mod slot).
