Thread: Question 1
The vision for the rifleman hasn’t changed. They are still intended to be the long range snipers and that will stay the same. What will change is the mechanical balance - - especially with the HAM revamp portion of the CB. The new HAM system will be much more dynamic and as a result will change the focus on “mind hits”. I don’t know to what degree, but that is something that will surely be looked at.

In a nutshell, "Wait for the Combat Rebalance"
LOL...Exactly what I was thinking....
"What are do you envision the role of riflemen to be after the combat balance?"
"We want them to be riflemen but balanced from a combat perspective.."
"Uhhh...Okay...Thanks...That clears up a lot."

A crotch hit should be a 1-hit incap.
I know I would not feel great after that.
/Dev Crotch hit 1, would be interesting.
On the mind thing, the way TH phrases it makes me believe that in the GCW in general Mind hits will be less effective(meaning healable most likely, or something like that)
The Long Ranged Sniper thing scares me though.........
Well, I see that they insist on making us "snipers" in an environment that does not allow it, from a technical point of view.
lmao
I think for a special perk, we should hit at a longer range
