    The DMR is perfectly fine apart from the silencer downsides, which are bad for any gun atm. I purchased both the SD and AV version from ARMAS and it's quickly turned into my favorite weapon. It is by no means meta and does get outgunned on paper. Still, if you adjust your playstyle and put in the practice, you can win against the meta. It does require more effort though, so be prepared to lose some at first.

     

    Let me give you some personal tips, since I have a lot of hours with the gun:

     

    First off, no DMR is straight up better than the other. The SD and AV excel at different things. While the AV has decent hard damage, the preset mod setup prevents you from using 3PS, which will limit its flexibility in closer ranges. The increased recoil can mess you up when using the rapid fire technique, which I will tell you in a bit. The SD is a lot nice for 1 on 1 combat, due to the decreased recoil and open slots. For extreme long range, the SD is also the better choice due to the lesser recoil and the silencer. If you peak someone at 95m, it's almost impossible to tell where it's coming from by visual and audio queues. Only map knowledge would let a person figure out where your best hiding spot would be.

     

    Now, while the DMR is a heavy sniper on paper, do NOT play it like that. The DMR playstyle is unique because you play it like an OBIR, HVR, Dog Ear or Scout depending on the situation.

     

    Corner peaking with the DMR is really nice because it has relatively fast zoom in and you can insta pistol swap after a shot. You can use this at all ranges, even in CQC. Pop off a shot or two and then finish them off with your sidearm, as you would do it with an OBIR.

     

    See a guy in the open? Play it like a dog ear and just tap em down. Gets even quicker when you rapid fire.

     

    Very long range? Congrats, you hit like a truck. Just camp it out like an HVR, if you want to.

     

    And if you wanna style on your enemy, play it like a budget scout. Jump around and pop off shots inbetween jumps. This is risky though, just so you know.

     

    Finally, what is rapid firing? Well as the name implies you shoot as fast as possible. The DMR has sweet spots within it's zoom in timespan, where the gun is accurate enough to hit, without your crosshair being fully closed. This is hard to describe on paper, so you will just have to get a feel for it. Generally, from ranges 1-40m, a 50% closed crosshair should be accurate enough to consistently hit. At 80% closed you should hit up until around 70m, after that go for the fully closed shots.

     

    This technique allows you to lower your TTK by a good amount, which often surprises people. This is especially effective in close range peaking because you can delete over half the enemies health and then just pistol them down. Now, keep in mind that the DMR is NOT a better weapon than any of the ones I mentioned. They excel at their roles for a reason. Still, the DMR is a nice hybrid that I'm really enjoying. If only for the salt of two tapping people.

     

    Hope this helps

    To further add on this:

     

    Putting HS3 and CJ1 on the DMR-SD guarantees that you'll hit fully accurate shots while getting no extra bloom and a higher RoF, you essentially never have to worry about accuracy and get a lower TTK.

     

    Also putting HB3 on it makes it a great LTL support weapon, and i'f your opponent happens to have CA3, chances are, you'll stun him i'f you time it right, this sabotages it's reverse dropoff a bit of course, but it'll still keep it's 3 shot potential to up to about 90m.

     

    The DMR-SD is quite possibly one of the most flexible long range guns modding-wise and it's a criminally underrated/unknown fact, you should keep on trying stuff with it.

    I'm having the same problem right now despite my internet being absolutely fine. 

     

    I can't log in with any of my Citadel characters, my Jericho char can get to the server selection menu, but gets stuck in infinite loading screens.

     

     

    Did i miss a maintenance announcement?

     

     

    EDIT: I also tried my alt account after i fixed the game and tried rebooting my pc,but no luck.
