I agree - as much as i dislike it having to be that way. It will one-hit scrakes tho right? cause if the sniper is responsible for even 10 or 15 of the big guys, he's gonna be outta ammo.

This is somewhat the formula for the decap damage:
Decap damage = (Headshotdamage + [25% of Bodyhealth]) * Weaponheadshotmultiplier * Sharpshooterheadshotmultipliers * Resistances
So now when we have cleared out the decap bonus i restate my stats for the M99:
Perk - Sharpshooter
Cost - 4000 (gets the discount = 1200 cost at level 6)
Ammo cost - 15-20 per bullet
Ammo amount - 25
Starting amount of ammo when purchased - 10
Weight - 13 or 14 (13 allows Machete/Pipebombs for non-Support, but also, for the Support, any of the Shotgun/AA12/HuntingShotty with it. 14 allows no extra equipment for non-Support, and only max the standard Shotgun along with the M99 for Support)
Damage - 1600
Headshotmultiplier - 1.1 (To not make it too strong non-perked + not too strong against the Patriarch)
Reasonable resistances on the Fleshpound:
25% resistance still allows a 1-headshot for Sharpies at all times, but takes as much as 3 headshots unperked on 6man HoE.
40% resistance requires the Sharpie to headshot TWICE for a kill on 6man HoE, and makes non Sharpies only decap with 3 shots, 4th shot on the decapped body kills it.
So, the only things to debatte here really, is:
Weight 13 or 14?
Fleshpound M99 resistance 25% or 40%? (Could be 40% on HoE and 25% otherwise for example)
Are you referring to me? If so, by all means, it's a pleasure to helpWow you really thought about the balancing! thanks!!
Yeah 1 BODYshotIdk if it should kill a husk with 1 shot.... Maybe it should but I really don't know.
1 shot to the HEAD right? 1 shot to the body to kill it would be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay overpowered lol.However a Fleshpound should also be killable with it.
Yeah, if you are the lone shooter on the Fleshpound it takes 4 bolts to kill it. 3 bolts to the head leaves a LITTLE LITTLE bit headhealth left.@Aze:
So it actually takes 3-4 Xbow bolts to kill a FP on 6 man HOE?
Tho the cost may still be to low for a lvl 6 SS - 1200 for insta kill on FP?
