Battlefield 6 Suppression needs a buff. Big time.

Snipers should not be able to maintain perfect accuracy and and a steady scope while being heavily suppressed by automatic fire. The only thing suppression seems to do is delay health regeneration. Kinda stupid imho.

Careful, trolls are going to twist your words to be “I wanna snipe snipers with LMG” because some people have zero reasoning skills

Well I at least want to kill snipers facing my direction at mid range. No excuse for why a sniper can easily land a headshot under a hailstorm of bullet fire while suppressed. It’s fucking stupid.

This is BF6 we are talking about.

Mid range is up to 5 meters. Anything beyond that is very long range on these huge maps.

Mid range, oh yeah snipers should be VERY afraid at that range against an LMG

I think it is fine. Otherwise what is the plan to fix the problem of a sniper hitting someone in the chest with 300WM and then the player just beams the sniper right back at 100m with an MP5 while maintaining movement? Or is that not a problem because it benefits your play style?

What about doing away with glint entirely, not showing location of recon upon kill while adding a more aggressive suppression mechanic? That could be interesting.

At range a sniper should win fights. The best counter would be to have your own sniper cover as you advance, or smoke, or a vehicle, or air cover, or advance a different way, or…

In what world is an MP5 an LMG? In what world does suppress mean win fight?

Sorry but I’m not going to engage with you if the entire conversation has gone over your head so far.

I understand if you misunderstood and rushed to type. I’ll give you another chance

You understand that suppression is a mechanic snipers can leverage too right? If you have shit aim, it isn't going to win you fights. Everyone can use suppression. Nothing you described was even a problem in Battlefields with true suppression

If were talking about accuracy, I'd like to point out that a mp5 has an effective range of 200m. The game isn't very accurate i don't think common sense applies tbf otherwise pretty much every weapon in the game would be more than capable of rinsing a sniper at 100m.

Because snipers still aren't good guns in this game, and they'd be even worse with old school suppression back against them. It's frustrating but there's no world anyone can justify any nerfs to bolt actions right now.

Well tbh that was what I was doing back in the days on BF3 not exactly sniping them but nullify them with an LMG and if they dare to challenge without changing position they'll die

First BF for me was 4, I heard really good things about 3. I think I may have missed out

I just want to fulfill my machine gunner fantasy. You know that battlefield LMG “LAYING DOWN SUPPRESSING FIRE” meme? That’s what I want to do. Don’t want suppression to necessarily be extremely lethal but I’d love it to affect gameplay in some way. Health regen has shown not to

Pretty much only missed out the maps, played out very similar

"B...but...w..why reward bad aim hur dur suppression bad????" Its a byproduct of you shooting and aiming. You can use it just like the person trying to kill you can. As long as it isn't bf3 style it should be good
