Police Suggestion A second sniper rifle for the TFU Arsenal L115A3/AWM

[Creepis]

Haven't been able to find a suggestion about this so I hope I'm not wasting time.

Brief description of idea: Add the L115A3/AWM to the TFU's arsenal of weapons to choose from. This should not replace the Remington M24 and it should continue to be able to be spawned in the trunk of a Range Rover, I'm suggesting on adding a more powerful alternative to the M24 once you're in Heavy gear and take it from the Armoury of the PD or from the Armoured Van.

What benefits would this idea have for the department: The Remington M24 is a weak anti-personnel sniper rifle, even up close targets survive a 7.62x51mm bullet to the Thorax, also proven by a recent situation of mine that I witnessed. However, the Remington M24 should remain if a silenced weapon of choice for long range engagements is needed. Having a removable magazine is also way better than a internally fed magazine (Video of a sad click at the end as well as the first shot missing my target, raising questionable accuracy of shown rifle).

What potential negatives could this have for the department: None, the department honestly needs a better sniper rifle for long range engagements with 1 shot potential. This sniper is another bolt-action but will prove to be more useful due to its larger calibre and higher stopping power on unarmoured targets (Source, only question remains if this is true in PERP).

Other additions: None that I can think of.

Woah, wonder how that unfortunate situation arose! I hope someone wasn't chasing down a member of TFU instead of escaping therefor not valuing 3.4 and 3.6! That would be unheard of and definitely be something no one would do!

Saved 2 Officers from certain death, escorted them back to the PD with the van only to end up being hunted down and people trying to throw in grenades and trying to raid the PD, it's a great life tbh

plpd are strong i dont think they need it they are wining on 70% shootouts add on that if you where raiding slums or anywhere for example the sniper can camp some where and shot you 1 shot = kill , so if you killed all the officers in side you must push outside (under 3.4) it will be hard to escape the m24 add some balance even if he hit you from the first time (not head ) you wont die and it will give you chance to know where hes at or to run is side again and think where hes at

@ALOO89 Where have you found this statistic?

camp some where and shot you 1 shot = kill

More of a reason for you all to push out at once and not camp there to rack up more of your virtual kills

you wont die and it will give you chance to know where hes at or to run is side again and think where hes at

You'd be dead in one shot from a Well placed M24 Shot, especially from the highway.

I really do feel like the whole Armoury needs a revamp in General. It's not been properly updated since the whitelist came into play in 2017.
I feel this sniper would be a good choice, it's not too OP and not too Underpowered.

If any new sniper were to be implemented I'd much rather it be the AWM than anything else, as while it is very powerful it's outshined by weapons such as the M14 due to the lower firerate/capacity and weapons such as the M82 due to the inconsistent ability to one shot kill, while still providing an upgrade to the dumpster fire that is the M24.

if 5.56 suppressors were available for TFU the M16 would immediately invalidate the M24, speaking to its weakness with how close it is to just becoming obsolete, so I like this idea

Petition for the suppressor for the M16, I'd honestly rather have that as a sniper.

Like it matters if it 1 shot kills to torso and head when the M24 already also 1 shots head.

its OP my friend 1 shot = kill + they add some good guns such as hcct and some revolvers ( not all of them are good ) about rifels they are fine shotgun are fine as will the sniper m24 are fine but if you got the L115A3 or AWM there wont be any balance at all ( if they use it long range or camping some where )

anygun 1 shot= kill on head shot


then use m24 and head shot people why do you need that sniper ?

As captain of TFU I can see the pros here. No one snipes anymore unless it is at a contained hostage situation. This isn’t because TFU dont want to snipe, it’s because the only true sniper we have is some dogshit deer gun and the alternative to that is a rifle with an ACOG.

Personally I’d rather see the M24 buffed as it makes 0 sense that it does the same damage as a semi automatic DMR or G3 despite having half or a quarter of the capacity, no magazine, and a slow fire rate. It is also beneficial to the game mode as a whole because it would be the same for everyone and would be viable.

To be honest with you, regarding balance, it’d only be slightly more difficult to counter than an M24 would be because if a TFU just isn’t hitting shots with an M24, he wouldn’t with an AWM either, and if he body shots you with an M24 you’re likely going to be crippled and bleeding fast because M24 do be like that.

If SMT comes up to me and says they’re accepting this suggestion I won’t object. In the mean time, I shall be “field testing“ this gun soon

It doesn’t always 1 shot kill though.

@BigBenji seems like your SOPMOD suggestion will be put to good use

That's called tactics, you all pushed out one by one and then ran in when one of you died, If you all rushed him and used cover, you'd probably be able to kill him.

Your statistics arent backed up with any evidence or anything, you only dislike this idea because you like to instigate shootouts and win and ofc, you want the advantage. The M24 is a bad sniper that is practically unviable for usage unless you are pretty much only going to be watching. The AWM or the L115A3 will actually provide for a viable option. The AWM will be balanced, as it is still quite easy to outgun someone with an AWM if you have 3 people with AKs. Usually people with the sniper will be hanging back, and most likely the last one alive, assuming that you can kill the other officers. At that point if there is multiple of you, all with automatic weapons, it will be incredibly easy to counter. It will not be OP, or unbalanced imo. The PD are purposefully at a disadvantage, to balance the game. But right now, we have practically a useless gun that nobody likes to use and its just sitting there.

M16 with the MK.2 / PM 2, suppressor and 25 round mags is something else I quite like the idea of
