    How about the Scoped NTEC-5 becoming a "Marksman rifle" that plays like an Obeya but is more accuracte and stable. It's firerate is horrible so it's TTK is NOT oppressive but you can land your shots effectively.

    Kind of like a worse STAR "LCR" as you're not allowed to move and having to stand still completely. Having a firerate slower than sped-up counting.

    It's similar to what we have now (or rather what it WANTS to be) but giving it 'Marksman rifle' attributes can help it set apart from the rest in the N-TEC series. Emphasizing on long range and making it bad at medium-ranges where the N-TEC can outshine the Scoped variant with ease.

    Guess it would be a NOT-OP bootleg N-TECc7 'New Glory'. 6 shots to kill, terrible RPM. But atleast you're allowed to hit things and at further ranges, making it 'technicly useable'.

    While I do disagree, let's us pretend for a moment that is true.

    I'd say that is a good thing. Armas should only sell cosmetics moving forward.

    If you disagree on it not being underpowered and therefore completely disproving this ENTIRE topic then atleast try to explain why you would think that way so that the topic could be resolved.

     

    As for only cosmetic items, I wholeheartedly agree. Not really what this was all about but yeah, all for that.

     

    The problem however is that you are gonna get nerfed hard for using this variant when using the normal N-TEC (which you get really early in the game) is much better. There is no incentive to use it.

    Hec, who ever does use it? I look forward to reading your strategy as to how to make the gun work in your favor (over other weaponry).

    Scoped SHAW will be the new thing tho 😮❤️

    Funny you mention this as a joke. But the more I think about it, the more I realise that the SHAW and the playstyle of the Scoped N-TEC is kinda similar.

    But then the question is, why settle for a 30~ ammo magazine tapfiring when you can hold down the button and rain lead amongst an even further distance?

    Not much of an 'assault rifle' now is it? I bet the SHAW could lead the front better.

    Personally I think that the NTEC-7c 'New Glory' stole all the expertise of what the Scoped NTEC-5 wanted to be.

    Whilst it is fair that such a dramatic change would indeed make it a 'Legendary' status, along with having a much more modular model. I do think that the NTEC-7c stole the spotlight of what could have been.

     

    As for the Scoped NTEC-5, I think the zoom could be increased alongside its effective range (+- 15m), but this would have to come with a big trade-off. Standing still for this however, is unacceptable.

    The Scoped NTEC-5. Nobody ever uses it, nobody  ever needs to.

     

    As someone who performs extensive experimentations on a variety, if not all, weapons, I'd say that the ARMAS Scoped NTEC-5 is incredibly underpowered.

    It's main gimmick is that the weapon, over it's normal NTEC-5 counterpart, gains more zoom (in terms of FOV) when you aim down sights. This is a neat something, but it has minimal impact on performance as the accuracy you gain with it is almost unnoticable. Let alone if you started firing a second bullet.

    What does help the weapon over its normal counterpart is that it has a SLIGHTLY less severe damage drop-off when hitting targets beyond the maximum damage range. At the very best difference at 65m it takes 8 shots to kill opposed to the non-scoped NTEC-5's 10 shots.

     

     

    Though as for its downside, you'll get a massive penalty to your accuracy if you are moving and aiming, which is not a problem for the normal NTEC-5. In fact, it is recommended to use Mobility Sling on the NTEC-5 so you can become more nimbler with it as you are aiming. The Scoped NTEC-5 however, gets absolutely crippled when you try to move and aim.

     

    Standing still just to get a very tiny benefit of a better zoom mid-combat is suicide. The increased zoom does not help the gun in a realistic fight at the range it's meant to be in and it makes close quarter combat slightly less effective as well (though this was already a weakpoint of the NTEC-5 series).

    Truth be told that if both user and enemy combatant are not in their optimal weaponrange and require more shots than usual, the smaller damage reduction beyond maximum range COULD be of help. but fighting someone outside of your comfortzone is not a smart thing to do, nor is it a good gameplan (and yes, I've tested this). Other weapons emphasize on adaptibility much much better.

     

    TL:DR, the Scoped NTEC-5 wants to be more accurate and longer ranged but fails to make an impact on both ends. The downside of crippling your gun when moving is a good way to commit suicide. Nobody uses it nor do they want to.

     

    So I would like to ask here on the forum what YOU would want to see for the weapon in terms of a balancing touch-up towards the current day of APB:R. I'm not asking for it to be overpowered nor to replace the NTEC-5, but as of now it is a downgrade in almost all circumstances. Give it some specialisation that would make a player want to use this (compared to...)

    (and of course the emphasis should lie on the difference of it being 'scoped' in contrast of the 'nonscoped' variants.)

    Anywho, to be on-topic. I would LOVE to have a 'Set Weapon Modification' system where you can Save and Load weapons with personally preset mods when you swtich to them.

    Constantly re-applying reflexes, hunting sights and whatnot gets timeconsuming and sometimes fails mission-critical moments.

    At this point I think I've bought like over 8 Hunting Sight 3's and also a lot more duplicates from other mods, just so that the switches to my personal favourites and flexible weaponry is quick.

    (though I'd still like this feature one day :P)

    As much as I'd love to see .45 getting fixed I'm just stating what's gonna happen and then the next weapon of choice for complaining will be the frog

    Adding a 5 shot 0.8 TTK pistol moments after they nerfed the previous one was a stupid decision but we all know why they did it

    My guy, no one is gonna complain about a dang Mountie or PDW or N-FA.

    Not about FBW, not about Showstopper.

    People are already saying the FR0G would be a fair thing to go up against...

     

    I COULD however see people complain about the Joker-RFP or the OCA-Nano if they really went looking for something to complain on but c'mon man. We ain't petty. But .45 crosses a clear line.

    The moment .45 gets nerfed everyone will jump the buffed frog pistols for the same cq performance

    I hardly find myself getting tilted against someone who would use FR0G weaponry. AND I would feel like I had a big chance in beating them.
    Hell, if I find myself losing to that with an SMG I'll try to kill them from a longer range to make sure they need +1 extra shot.

    What "investment", 3000 Joker Tickets? lol..

    The problem is that the "complaints" about .45 being "OP" are simply... false.

    lol like... if the weapon was out of line, we would've spoken about it before you, thanks.

    We? Who the fuck is we?

    WE are complaining about a weapon and I am starting to think that it is actually the majority of the people here.

    So you can crown yourself king with your opinion all you want and call people bad or whatever, but don't call over 50% of the pop people with 'false claims'

     

    Don't look up (the movie)- kind of pleb you are.

    You have all these people complaining about a singular gun: The Colby .45 AP
    People call it Overpowered.

    They're not comparing its power to other secondaries as in 'this is equal'.

     

    SURELY something has to be going on. Or do you people think that every single one of us who are complaining are some sort of cult?


    Goddangit people if many members of the forums take a claim to something, in thise case: Colby .45AP is too strong, then SURELY there is a reason for it. But y'all just mad and angry 'cause that would neglect my investments of either Jokertickets or G1C'.

    Get real. There is a problem. We ain't typing for fun.

    This is an example from what I found from exoticz clip. he was punish for missing and died 100%. nothing OP?

    https://www.twitch.tv/exoticz/clip/BadPlayfulAlbatross4Head-zM8cUwyJUohcOYct

    That's like saying that the Strife is OP becaues it could technicly 2-shot.
    Let alone the N-FAS wiith its TTK of all things.

    Yeah he missed, of course he lost. But when people don't. There ain't much chance.
    (And trust me, those Fight Club people who play every day rarely miss)

    (also as a sidenote dang what quality setting is that xD it looks so yikes)

    Another massive mistake.

    Standing is not the same is running and gunning. You won't be typically "standing" in a real match. You'll be running, that's why it is called RUN MODIFIER. Your basic example doesn't factor in that Colby .45 has a x1.5 modifier from that example while 'Whisper' with RS3 actually improves by x1.01.

     

    "What means nothing" is the accuracy of a weapon in close range when it SIMPLY kills slower. Use your head please.

     

    Thanks for your input but I encourage you to learn the game before you remotely think you are qualified to make balance suggestions.

    Dude stop making a fool out of yourself man.

    Play the game

    For anyone saying the .45 is broken, post a montage of you owning with it. I say this because most people are basing their opinions on dying to the gun, not using it. 
     

    I still say you are losing to better players. It’s not the gun or you would just equip it yourself. 

    You know what. Next time I play APB:R and use the 'fuck you' gun. I will hit that record button.

    Loving how everyone just keeps being stubborn and wanting to keep the problem.

     

    Ooh lets add a silencer, oooh lets make it reload slower.

    ooh lets fucking nerf the stamina damage


    THE PROBLEM IS that when you corner someone and they whip out this bullshoot out of their patootie and them killing you because of it, NO MATTER how much skill would be involved, is killing the weapons who SHOULD excel at those, their own, ranges. People can aim, everyone can aim, having the AP as a 'skillgun' just does not justify this. "Random bullshoot go!" and 'coinflipping' if people carry this or not is not a viable playstyle.

     

    Imagine having a 1shot sniper that is sluggish or 'heavy' or whatever and the excuse becomes "Should have deployed character-mod barrier like eveyone else'. And 'yea but the weapon is difficult to use' arguments everywhere. It doesn't justify it existing. Not in the world of APB:R today where EVERYONE (still) invested in it is now basically a hardcore-veteran. Oh you don't use 45.AP? You deserve to lose.

    Fucking bullshoot.

     

    Frankly, I have no thoughts on how to 'fix' the weapon and it should be completley reworked (thinking a revolver). The only thing capable of "45AP'ing you should be people swapping to the NFA-9 and landing lots of shots. THAT is high risk high reward and only on very close ranges.

     

    If all else fails. Make this a primary weapon where in its current state it belongs.

    Damn, I feel sorry for OP for having this many sh*stains in their topic with the people who responded here.

     

    It's almost like you can smell the hackers and gold users by their cries here.

     

    No weapon should turn a 5meters distance engagement against a sniper into a complete and utter coinflip whether or not they carry the 'fuck you' secondary.

    Anyone defending Colby .45AP and not recognising it COMPLETELY disrupts any on-going balance immediately has some BIG red flags from my perspective. (Not saying it's the only gun who does that but why the fuck would people defend this weapon even)
