quickscoping fun and its annoying af to get caught using a awp and not being able to fire it because you aren't scoped.
Honestly why i dont buy the awp kind of ruins it for me
while its annoying, its also what keeps this weapon from dominating so hard that you dont even want to buy a trident; why would you when its not hitscan, and you only get 1 shot?

pretty much its not a good idea because you’d get people quick swapping 1 shotting you the second they peek around a wall, the scope is its only limitation

Thats true it would be really good but its just sad makes it a weapon i dont want to buy but tbf i sometimes dont even buy shit and just run around blasting a good 6 people before i die so doesnt matter too much to me

the time it takes when swapping to it then being able to scope in could be reduced, but its such a delicate thing to handle

keep in mind its also a bolt action rifle meant to be used from a far distance, but actually it could also have the unscoped accuracy make it super inaccurate as a tradeoff to being able to fire unscoped
sure just make it WILDLY inaccurate. you can try to use it in a pinch close quarters but you wont be able to hit people at long ranges
no. it's a one hit anywhere from extremely long range. it has to have a drawback or people are getting knifed from across the map
Nah, I'm good. Its fine with the scope. Insta kill weapon mandates you have a slight delay when trying to get a kill. It would be too unbalanced otherwise.

100% and if someone is trying to use it close up that sounds like something they should fix lol
Hanks summed up pretty much why I don't want to change the awp, as we have moved more towards less one hit T weapons if its going to stay 1 hit the only reasonably easy drawback we can have is the scope delay. The idea being that on say crummy cradle you hide in a building or corner of the map and take your time lining up your shot.
