This topic has been talked about for years and despite some feeble efforts nothing has ever changed.
Sniper can completely halt hale's momentum midair with a single shot from any range, regardless of charge level and no matter if it's a headshot or not.
If I were to take this thread from earlier this year at face value, I'm to believe that the issue has been dealt with. However, after 2 seconds of actually playing on the server one can verify that whatever the fix supposedly is, it does absolutely nothing.
I am here today to propose what I believe to be a rather elegant solution to the problem.
Sniper rifles deal knockback only on headshots.
Not only will this completely remove any knockback from bodyshots and unscoped shots, it will also introduce the long lost mechanic of headshots back to vsh. Headshots should always have been core part of sniper gameplay and for some reason it was decided that sniping on vsh needs to be as easy as humanly possible.
Few things to note:
This change would not affect Huntsman in any way.
The Classic can still noscope headshot when fully charged, as usual.
Yes, Sydney Sleeper deals way too much damage on headshots... I actually have prepared a separate fix for this, but I want this poll to be concise. Do comment below if you are interested, however.
This is one of the many VSH changes I've been working on with @Heather and @Kruphixx . Has been tested and is ready to be implemented at the big man's request.
