neur0tix Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Hello, just wanna ask if this task or skill got fixed or not before I get into it. I heared you only need to kill 1 scav/player to get to level 7 and complete quest. Well I killed a few Scavs, Bear and Usec too with DVL-10 that gave me some points into it. VSS and AS VAL that are marked as "SniperRifles" doesnt give anything into skill progression. Anyone tried with SV-98? Anyone found a bug to skip it like Deadly did? Anyone found some efficient or worthy way to make this quest? Anyone got any info on this being already fixed in some hotfix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is get the sniper skill to 7, then yeah, is there a way to delete the quest? hahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShowMeDeWai Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Any news on this at all? I am curious as well, though I am not to that level in quests yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will just leave the quest there alone since snipers are not worthy atm to play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably a translation issue, the two categories are pretty clearly meant to be "DMR" and "Bolt Action". You do have to actually level the skill, there is no magic thing any more where they give you the levels for free. It really isn't that bad, I just use the DVL Sabo and an AK74/M4 for a backup. I hated the snipers at first, but then I stopped using them to hit moving targets. They're really handy as a surprise gun, if you can catch someone off guard and land the headshot when they aren't moving it's an instant kill no matter what. Most people aren't expecting you to have a sniper, so they thing they're safe lining up a shot at long range. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty67t Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 It has to be a bolt action rifle. The DVL or SV-98 are the only ones that count. Agree or not, that's the way they set it up for now. Check out Deadly Slob on Twitch or YouTube. He recently made it to level 7 and it took him, who I consider one of the top players I've ever seen, quite a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varggift Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 im at 3 now. lost 8-10 sv98s... never ever sniped in this game before. and now i know why. i blow at it. but yeah moving targets is just to forget... atleast at distance, i have no problem aiming and such but the lags and the desyncs is different from run to run so its really impossible to learn the mechanics. also, i didnt see the "sniper" skill at first thats why i thought it stuck, was looking at DMR how can they even introduce this kind of mission atm? punisher pt 6 is hard, this is just stupid. well... boring atleast. would be fun if the bullets hit targets, but they dont. and its just a pain.

Agree. its BS. Optimise your game before adding random bs like new NVGs or whatever the duck you are planing. Yes its "beta" bla bla...the point remains. Make your game fully playable (hitreg,desync,server lags etc.) and then start putting the effort into adding new poo. Dont get me wrong, i kind of love ?!? this game...im hooked. i really am. But still....its frustrating that i cant enjoy it as much as i want and im sure its meant to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty67t Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 @ElChapoEST Not everyone at BSG is working on new content. Certain people have certain jobs. You have artists, programmers, etc. I'm sure they have people working hard on the issues that need to be fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty747 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 im working on this now and im 75% complete lvl 5. my sv98 mastery is 300\500 and dvl is 75\500. i have the most luck in customs with an sv98 netting 10-15 scav kills per round, usually bring along an m4 to take care of other pmc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The snipers work fine, they're just intended for a different role than assault rifles. They're useful for picking people off when they aren't aware of you or when they stop to take a shot. I've been religiously bringing a sniper and a backup weapon for the last week or so and I'm already level 5. Not every quest should be easy, this is a late game quest that comes well after you should be max level with all the traders. I'm glad there are hard quests to work towards that force you to change your playstyle. I would strongly recommend using the DVL Sabo and not the SV-98. Firing a loud sniper is called ringing the dinner bell for a reason. Also, for fun I have started playing a fun game where I drop a Pilgrim filled with croutons on the road on Shoreline. Then I post up in a bush or the boat or something and wait for people to come loot it. Got two forts + mts easier today "fishing". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got two forts + mts easier today "fishing". i think you misunderstood me, i dont have a problem with changing up my playstyle. its the fact that they dont register hits correctly, underpowered and useless vs armor. this on top of lag and desync issues makes this quest, stupid imo. i CAN aim pretty decently and this is not my first fps game... i know the difference between sniping and assaulting, thank you. if they want to bench the snipers, lower the price extremly for a week or something. played 2 days and im at 4 so thats not the issue. (2-3 h a day) [Also, for fun I have started playing a fun game where I drop a Pilgrim filled with croutons on the road on Shoreline.

varggift Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 cant edit for some reason, the .308 is not a .308, its a 7.62x51, same as RSASS(m80, m60, m61 and m62) kinda the same but not exactly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you actually bothered to read any of the q and as they did, they are working on improving the netcode of the game, which is one of the most difficult things to do (just remember all of the problems the battlefield games have had.) This will do wonders to improve hitreg and desynchronization. And if the server lag you are referring to involves you being shot like 10 seconds after retreating into a room, that's a netcode issue too.
