MSR Omega - Issue or Not?

Hello dear Community,
Hello dear GM-Team,
Hello dear Vertigo-Staff,

Today I'd like to adress the newest "highlight" of Blackshot - the MSR Omega.
After I heard that some new cool weapons have been released - I instantly came online and gave 'em all a shot.

I quickly realized that the MSR Omega is a ONE-SHOT-KILL weapon - no matter what.
This instantly reminded me of the old BARETT in eFusion/TwoWar-times and how stupidly OP it was.
Yet, I didn't wanna start things up with "negative" feelings towards it and be based - afterall the MSR Omega is in the insanely expensive 350BSC Goldbox.
So I went on playin' and got frustrated pretty quickly. Almost every room contained an MSR Omega and almost every room was unplayable for the the side, which had to play against it.

So what does make it so frustrating:
  • The whole armor4 / 115HP mechanic gets disabled. A single weapon basiclly renders a whole "Part" of Blackshot useless. A single weapon takes away a bunch of game-design space
  • The MSR Omega doesn't have any serious drawbacks. If you wanted to use the old Barett (one-hit) the user had to face serious drawbacks which are still persistent for the Barett now, even though it isn't one-hit anymore. And insanely low movement speed and a magazine of only 2 - 3 bullets per mag! The current MSR Omega doesn't at all and comes with a big magazines, which basiclly allows you to kill a whole team of 8 people without reloading
But this the issue don't stop - unlike now - back in TwoWar/eFusion a.k.a one shot barett times we didn't have multiweapon. So the user was stuck with a one-shot sniper with serious drawbacks & a pistol. Now you can still run with a rifle around and be versatile.
And what happend aswell? The same as back with the barett one-shot times.
The clanwar is now full (full speaking of weapons not teams...) with MSR Omegas / rather 1 guy dropping it to the whole team and hardscoping / holding every corner - going 6 wins at blue side and only having to win one more round on the red one. And if you ever fail to miss one shot - you simply switch to your rifle via multiweapon and spray 'em down.

I do support the idea of putting very strong weapons or skins in the 350bsc goldbox - like done with Nina now. I think its a prefect way to advertise these charachters, earn money, while making sure that the game doesn't get flooded with it. Unfortunatly this logic doesn't apply to such overwhelming weapons such as the MSR Omega due to one guy, who has it, being able to drop it for everybody.

The MSR Omega itself does take a lot of designspace away due to it making a whole armor/tactic set useless - basiclly also making every other sniper utterly useless an underwhelming due to it's insane power.

In my opinion the MSR Omega should either be re-designed with serious drawbacks - such as the Barett. 
My Idea would be to include following points:
  • Insanely high weight
  • A magazine of 2 - 3 bullets
  • The restriction to not use Multiweapon while having that gun equiped. Basiclly blocking the whole slot.
Another idea from my side would be to completly take the gun out - let it be like it is & only give it as prizes for example Cups or Season - making it a very special reward with a lot "prestige to it".

In my opinion we can not let this weapon be at is - partwhise also not because there is a chance to get it for 999days!!! The drop rate is probably insanely low but what if....what if....

Please share all your thoughts and decide for you own - Is it a Issue or Not?

Kind Regards
Trigger

    Definitely agree with you Trigger; it surely needs to be re-balanced. It's way too OP

    Couldn´t agree with you guys anymore!! I have no problems with peoble playing BSC-weapons or gear normally, without BSC and money for Vertigo there would not be anymore Blackshot.

    That said, I have never met a more OP weapon then MSR Omega, 1 shot kills anyone no matter what armor or hp you have, played yesterday with Armor 6 and 110 hp, died from 1 shot every single time, and when the opponent also uses Mantis so he practicall can walk and shoot you with sniper and never miss a shot, have a big ammoclip and reload and shoot a fast rate...... It just diables the whole idea of combining different gear and weapons for different playing styles, no point bothering.........

    My opinion is that NO SNIPER should be able to kill players with armor 4 or 6 and hp 110 or higher in 1 shot (unless headshot of course) 

    Please Vertigo - Rebalance the MSR Omega now! or follow Triggers suggestion to induce some serious setbacks to the weapon.

    First devs made new nxi which is insanely difficult to get,yet it don't kill in one shot.
    But,one smiley face shoot my leg with Msr Omega and boom i die.

    If the devs won't take out tht thingy,pls make Ryane normal BP skin again so that I can get to their back and knife them :X or get booted for macr0 again..

    It has some issues definitly.. It's a one hit even trought armor 4 or 6 with 115 hp and 100 armor with mantis  if you miss the head with your first bullet , there is no way that you will survive after that , if someone is lagging you are instantly dead xd  Design is very good and  looks cool but damage is like the old barett sniper. Doesn't metter if you get the hit in the head or the leg damage is the same. Just lower the damage a bit and that's it.

    if major damage to the fallen of the MSR OMEGA , so remove the prenium card. why pay many prenium card if it is to have a sniper as effective as the other. (sorry, google trad xD)
