One-shot kill snipers only with explosive ammo. So super slow bullet with massive drop. Not sure how useful they’ll really be because they’ll be impossible to land shots at range, and their effective range will still be dominated by ARs and LMGs.

All the Sentinels are really about to piss their pants if those movement changes are what we think they are.
Sentinels (read as bots) wanted the game to play slower and much more realistic. Told people to either adapt or leave to another game. Those who stayed, adapted and piss on people regularly with the slower reaction times that this game caters to while the vast majority left. Both doing things that they asked.
Player count went down because most took the latter advise and left. So people have tried it the slower, less skillful way. And it didn’t work. Time to go back to what did.
Also the OHK snipers better be headshot only otherwise it’s going to be rough. Since OHK was meant for snipers only.

Everything is worded just vaguely enough to still leave everyone wondering what exactly is being changed. If movement is less cumbersome then one-shot snipers is going to receive a welcome return. Otherwise we’ll have a campfest once again. I mean, I am just too god damn happy for one-shot snipers to come back, but we’ll see how things really shake out once we get a feel for everything.

You can already down an enemy with one shot snipers, so what’s the change?

I had no problem with mantling and the slide and diving tweaks sound underwhelming. Longer TTK and better servers is what is really needed.

Let’s hope we get some server updates….

Vague af, guess we need to wait for tomorrow.

So damage range isn’t a concern? As long as you have explosive ammo, you’re able to one-tap people with snipers?

If I read this right it doesn’t even have to be a headshot… Altho much harder with the dropoff from explosive rounds I don’t understand why it has to be a one shot down anywhere on the body… they are trying to re-invent the wheel again when there was no problem with the WZ 1 snipers at the end….
Why do these devs make it so hard on themselves…
Judging from past battlepass experience the dropoff will not be that hard on the intervention sniper and its going to be massively overpowerd this season.

No mention of any server improvements or audio fixes?

I doubt the movement changes are really going to be that significant TBH. Seems they’re wanting to smooth things out to be less clunky, but I would be surprised if they change the speed that much or actually change the mechanics of sliding/diving

I love how the first line tells us that “we wanted to provide more detail on just some of the exciting Battle Royale updates and features you can look forward” but the rest of it is so incredibly vague that no details are given.
(sarcasm) It really makes me want to buy a season pass and play the game more (/sarcasm)

Complete nothing burger of course. We’re watching a dev content with letting their player base slowly dwindle all year long.

So no word on the server quality, got it. Also they mentioned TTK at the start but said no follow up. All these changes sound great on paper but if the servers remain unstable and the TTK remains the way it is, these changes don’t help that much

“slight adjustments to sliding” oh no lol
Movement updates. Wwwwwww.
Hoping for a chopper DDOS in late game, too.
Oof still no ttk increase?!
