Modify the barrett

   I really think that you shouldn't be required to crouch when firing the barrett in TTT. It's low clip, big recoil and loud noise is enough to compensate for it's high damage, and that's not the only reason why I think it should be buffed, people, mainly new players to the server complain about it not working every day. I just don't see a reason why it should stay as it is right now.

I'd be ok changing it as long as the other stats stay the same.

Like i said ages ago, my suggestion of crouching to shoot it was merely a joke or not to have been taken seriously.

I fully support this.

I'm completely okay with this as almost no one ever uses this gun because of what prox said about them complaining for it not working or just too complicated for some people(lol)

But it's also made for sniping from long distances,not for running around and slaughtering everyone in the room.

But changing it wont hurt at all i guess.

I don't think any of the custom guns should be changed because (since most of the maps randomly spawn guns) a player should deal with/make use of the guns they find. Even if the guns are unbalanced.
A Man named William Reed's last living testament says that he is going to read his own will.

Will Reed's will will read "Will Reed will read Will Reed's will"

Most people don't expect that you are required to crouch in order to shoot, so most of the time they just don't use that gun, because it's "not working".

I'd be inclined to agree usually, but in this instance prox is correct. I designed it to be hard to RDM with. It'll still be hard to use without the crouch requirement, and it really shouldn't change much.

Yes please. I don't use it since scout does the job pretty well itself but crouching is kinda obsolete.

How much stronger is the barret compared to the regular sniper? It doesn't seem much better imo.
*Insert witty comment here*

base damage is 75.

headshot multiplier is less, making it less effective with low karma. We didn't want it to be an RDM gun.

Shot to the chest once get's them down from Healthy to wounded, so 50-ish.

As if rounding to 19 would be a problem?

"OMG THE BARRETT IS BROKEN HOW DO I SHOOT?"
I don't really care too much about what you do with it, as long as I don't have to hear people complaining about how it doesn't shoot.
