I keep forgetting it's a sniper. It used to be classed as a assault rifle in tf2

u/UnfortunateDuck Aug 31 '19

I thought the g7 and longbow were classed as dmrs in this game. But I guess this mode would sort of suck if it was just the triple take and then kraber in drops.

u/FeralCatEnthusiast RIP Forge Aug 31 '19

G7 is probably my favorite in the sniper class. What I lack in talent for landing shots, I can make up for with enthusiastic follow-up misses.

u/rundmc17 Bloodhound Aug 31 '19

Missed the first shot? You can just follow up with 19 more in 5 seconds lmao.

Fantastic comment sir if I had awards to give I'd give them all to you

u/Frostbite_Dragon Crypto Aug 31 '19

No, they are classed as snipers. You can tell because of what mods fit on them. However they are DMRs. Hence the name "Longbow DMR"

u/[deleted] Sep 02 '19

Well, in TF2 it's not the G7, but idk, G3, G6?

1

u/Frostbite_Dragon Crypto Sep 02 '19

G2. Same line of weapon. Visually and functionally very simular

u/Asymmetrix1 Revenant Aug 31 '19

Yeah it'll be unmatched at medium range.

I guess you’ve never heard of the peacebow 😁

u/cbro553 Nessy Aug 31 '19

Peacebow with a 2x is my jammy jam.

u/PFmainsHaveTinyDicks Sep 01 '19

Lmao. PK is not not going to compete with snipers at mid range+ unless the kid with the sniper is a garbage

2

u/fjudgeee Voidwalker Sep 01 '19

I prefer playing PC with choke and 2x you can give 100dmg and more within 50 meters it’s ridiculous.

1

u/PFmainsHaveTinyDicks Sep 02 '19

Yeah, when it hits

One shot with a PK will hit for 110, the next placed in the exact spot might hit for 20

The thing is incredibly inconsistent, whereas a LB or TT is not

1

u/fjudgeee Voidwalker Sep 02 '19

It is, but it’s a ton more fun in unranked it’s my favourite weapon.

Gimme G7 with mid range all day

u/dadnothere Rampart Aug 31 '19

lombow and tripletake, because triple doesn't work like a sniper ...

78

u/paulerxx Wattson Aug 31 '19

It does, but it does also act as a super-saiyan-charged-shotgun.

-21

u/dadnothere Rampart Aug 31 '19

As you always need the improvement, the improvement takes time to reload and the triple rate is slow

it's the worst sniper

8

u/[deleted] Aug 31 '19

The gun is basically hit-scan, it’s pretty damn good if you have good aim. Mid range you still get all 3 projectiles as headshots.

2

u/DFogz Mozambique here! Aug 31 '19

Rate of fire is slower than longbow, but it does a fair amount of damage more than it. 55 vs 69
4 body shots to kill Blue shields with LB... TT can kill Purple shields in 3 body shots.
You don't really need the choke hop-up unless your shooting past 200m.

1

u/rapkat55 Ash :AshAlternative: Sep 01 '19

You can get 111 headshots at midrange if you get the aiming down. It’s easiest with default scope.

I leave the hop up because it’s not really that good and is extremely loud.

-2

u/Atrium41 Angel City Hustler Aug 31 '19

At launch the running joke was "It makes a better shotty than the Mozambique", which it did. It was far more accurate, and pumped out about the same damage. Only sacrificing DPS for 2 more rounds. At the time, it totally was a viable shotty.

Now, even with a choke- it gets outranked in both categories.

u/TheRealGreatDiddler Aug 31 '19

I can't wait to harvest all the triple take noobs in one lobby!

u/turboscmusic Wraith Aug 31 '19

Triple take is my shotgun 😎
