Try HC+LAR.
It's magical.
Cept then you can't really do much vs bigger stuff, which is what people expect of the SS. I'll admit, HC+LAR is some of the most fun I've had as Sharpshooter, hands down. But it's just not viable in later waves.
I remember when 9_6 was helding the post of change, most people agree that only making the hs multiplier to 4x can do the trick. But suddenly in beta the prics is 200%, starting ammo is downed 70%, and max ammo is downed 10%. And scrakes and fleshpounds hs resistance is buffed.
And all of a sudden everyone is like "good change", and start to state why why why. Just because it is official, following that mindset must be right, and everyone try to act smart. Remind me when the chainsaw get nerf so much.
Even with those changes, it's still a pretty amazing weapon...up until Hell on Earth, where a Fleshpound takes over half a dozen X-Bow headshots to kill, and a Scrake takes 3-4. Then you pretty much get kicked down to the role of headshotting Husks/Sirens since your gun can penetrate through trash.
This wouldn't bug me so much if the alternative, the M14, didn't suck as hard as it currently does.
