The oblivion is still a movement restricted, slow 4 shots to kill sniper rifle. The only thing it's got going for it it perfect accuracy without having to recover accuracy from sprinting. But it's still bad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I personally disagree with that, the shots go by pretty quickly if you get the timing down, and the sprint penalty is barely there with how miniscule it is Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The DMR can't hope to outperform the oblivion now, it has a slower fire interval (800ms to the Obliv's 475ms), worse sprint speed (475cm/s to the Obliv's 550cm/s) and barely any extra damage (the Obliv does 325 health dmg now which is not far off the DMR's 400). Only the DMR-AV has anything going for it over the Oblivion due to it's hard damage advantage. ISSR-B makes a stronger all round case compared to the S-247 (though that fight is closer than before IMO) but definitely not the DMR. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's actually the opposite of what you said , i suggest you forget anything you know about oblivion and give it a try in mission districts , at least once . (btw i reccomand CJ3 , HS3 , and whatever purple mod you like ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(oblivion is on 1.42, barely a difference, and scout is on 1.75) Its not good for a sniper that can't be used at sniper range because it's bloom doesn't recover quickly enough to hit accurately. It's also not good for a sniper that can't be fired at maximum rate of fire without excessive bloom. It's effective range is basically AR range where NTEC completely destroys it. Also, it's affected by the same sprint block that the HVR has so that when you shoot you can't sprint for a second or two, meaning you can't take potshots with it without exposing yourself excessively. And I would argue the crosshair still needs work. It's definitely not done being buffed. Right now you literally can't get rid of an Anubis because no one wants it.

This ^^ I mostly feel like it's not mobile and enough and that it's firing (bloom recovery) is too slow to be competitive against other weapons. I mean, scout being a 1.75s TTK 2-shot sniper with full mobility and excellent corner peaking/accuracy doesn't really make the Anubis good due to a 1.47s TTK on paper. In practise it always looses out to a scout in the open or with cover. Edited September 2, 2018 by FluttershyI Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
