its already something theyre considering no eta

sounds good to me altho i think the JT store will need to have more attractive options for this to really have an effect

this also if ltl was actually competitive i'd be pretty seriously in favor of giving criminals some sort of equivalent mechanic

pretty sure its hidden yeah OP - orbit is currently working on unifying the pc and consoles onto the same version of the game, so i assume that each platform will eventually have all the features

but they have everything to do with balance; theres already dozens of areas that are difficult to impossible to move through on foot when covered by opp with the current ttk - adding instant kill headshots will only exacerbate that changing every single gun is a pretty big deal imo, especially since they would be changed to all play fairly similarly you cant move away from the objective if you die instantly from a headshot, meat shielding is far less effective when said meat shield can also be killed instantly, and shields will only cover you while doing specific objectives this one goes back to #1, no one is going to cross a street or open area (which the maps are covered with) when an entire team can be taken out by a single obeya magazine - moving in cars will instantly become necessary because theres no other way to 100% prevent yourself from being instagibbed theres a reason a huge majority of people use low yields, making them a one shot kill will only remove the single negative they have compared to frags and concs - and percs will become an instant kill panic button in cqc you can currently peek corners with minimal accuracy loss/exposure and its pretty easy to peek at angles that nearly eliminate the chances of return fire actually being able to hit you - while thats enough of an issue currently, adding instant kills with the same system only makes it worse grenade launchers will no longer be a threat (not that they ever really are tbh) since now every gun will be able to one shot speaking of grenades flak jacket will be useless with the new headshot meta, as will kevlar and clotting agent - so theres another system that has to be rebalanced

dont be a nerd nerd

you can modify the thread title by clicking and holding it the n-tec 7 'Ursus' is not the same gun as the regular n-tec 5 so it does not share all of the same stats, altho the TTKs are still the same and they are played very similarly negative reputation is still possible, although iirc everyone is limited to 10 reactions (positive or negative) per day to prevent abuse simply hover over the like button to see the other options EDIT: id recommend using apbdbv2 for weapons stats, or nearly any info about the game tbh

its still a blowtorch tho, so flamethrower is more of a descriptive word in this case like saying "that suv vehicle" about a pioneer i guess? is there an english major in the house?

flamethrower blowtorch sounds pretty cool

the ntec requires 6 shots to kill, and its ttk is .7s which puts it about average - for comparison the fastest ttk is somewhere around .45s how is the game p2w when the ntec is the best gun in the game and its free? i really wish people who make these kind of threads even kind of made sense, but i guess thats too much to ask

maps are far too large and open for there to be instant ttk guns either all need to be accurate for the first shot or all of them need to be inaccurate, since any current gun that has rng will be inferior in the new headshot meta missions will need to be reworked because most objectives would offer opp an unmoving headshot target, which means no more fighting back from on the objective vehicles would need a rework since they would become mandatory for pretty much all movement, which will take carplay to insane levels grenades would need a rework because why even have bother keeping frags and concs with the new one shot kill grenade meta hitboxes and character animations in general will need to be reworked otherwise the current "who can peek corners better with an hvr" meta will extend to every single gun

it would break far more than it would fix - maps would have to be reworked, guns would have to be reworked, missions would have to be reworked, etc its an insane amount of work for a test district

ok i give up, lets add headshots and one hit kill grenades to apb so the game can die in a week and i wont have to deal with this idiotic argument anymore

just make the consumables proper character modifications already, theres no reason for them not to be

except nades generally require you to expose yourself and now thanks to headshots even that slight corner pop to throw a grenade means you can be killed not to mention grenade damage is now useless because health is now largely irrelevant due to headshots

new players wont have a chance to fight back, with headshots theyll just be overwhelmed before they can even react

im not up for it because it would turn the game into a campfest to an insane degree - whats the point in rushing when opp can just hide on a corner and insta-gank you without every exposing themselves? also fyi its a lot easier to spot a cheater when they cant legitimately kill you instantly from anywhere

corner camping and car gameplay would instantly become absolutely mandatory 24/7 because the combination of instant ttk and a large amount of wide open areas would make gameplay unbearable the only way this would affect the p2w stigma is by killing the game so fast that no one has time to worry about p2w anymore

i sympathize since i too have had to go through life with below average brain cell count

please only post if you’re contributing to the topic kthx

idk

real talk, the dmr av is the best sounding gun in the game since it’s the only one that has proper urban echo effects

so when do we get an iq test incorporated into forum account creation? dont make it too hard tho, i still have to pass it too
