Stopping Power Question

[Chris_Redfield]

If you look at the sniper rifles, they all have 70 base damage. The Dragonov, R700 and Barret all have a 1.5 modifier for the Head, Neck, and Chest. That's a pretty large area of the target, so SP would be overkill in most cases. The one area it IS nice, if you are sniping someone with Juggernaut since they cancel. My biggest pet peeve sniping used to be lining up that perfect shot, only to see that little + show up. I took SP for a while to counter, but stopped because I was getting much better mileage from UAV Jammer or Overkill.

Thats a pretty damn good conclusion which Im going to put to good use some day. So far, Sniping has been unappealing to me, to say the least.

I have also been using UAV Jammer and Dead Silence a lot more myself. It's SO much easier to kill an opponent that doesn't know you're there. And a lot of players go into "auto-pilot" when UAV goes up. If they don't see that red dot on the map, they get lazy and leave themselves exposed.

Same here. I don't claim to be a great, or even "very good" player compared to some of the screenies I've seen posted here, but I find the game much more enjoyable when enemies don't know where I am by using the UAV, and have to rely on sight, or the "sound-dot" on the minimap when I fire my weapon without a silencer.

I dont think you need it, its mucho powerful as it is, and it almost always one-hits people.

But with the M40 and the R700 is the spot where the biggest difference is with SP, goes from a usually two hit kill, to a one hit kill all the time.

Thanks!
I might try to use UAV Jammer on my sniper kit now.

But on the topic with Juggernaut....i had my Barrett ready for the shot and shot a guy right in the back with the Barrett with Stopping Power on it. He didn't die, because he had Juggernaut so Juggernaut really helps you to survive that extra bullet even if it comes from the ( i think ) most powerful weapon in the game, the Barrett .50cal.
I don't know what the stats tell you guys, but Juggernaut seems to help depending on the situation.

Probably a fluke. Back has a 1.5 damage modifier. Juggernaut or not, he would have been killed, as Stopping Power would have cancelled Juggernaut out. My guess is, you hit him in the foot/hand, where damage modifier is 1.1, JUG/SP got cancelled out and he stayed alive.

Yeah, could be in the foot since he was planting the bom b and i could only see a small part of his body, so i aimed down to hit him. But the second i pulled the trigger he stood up and ran away into the sewers of Pipeline, so it's plausible i hit him in the foot instead of the back.
