DICE, buff the Zeller!

[D3lit3]

It's obvious that the Zeller needs a buff. 3 clip mag, red and smaller scope than the stock rifles, too loud, etc.

Well patch 1.40 is coming out soon so why not make the Zeller have a 5 clip magazine and a wider scope while it's not too late?

[RichardDawkins]

no, give the zeller a YOU ARE DEAD kill for the headshot, its the ONLY way to buff it without changing it completely

[Digital-Boy]

You don't think that will change it completely? I think there's a reason why infantry arms don't kill-kill.

[dontsh000t]

a good buff imho would be to make it do 99dmg to all infantry regardless of armour, while keeping the OHKO head and neck hitboxes. that way anyone not at 100% health will suffer, yet it won't be free pickings for the recon.

I used to like the Zeller until I started to mess with the stock rifles. I find they are better because:

a. not as loud [but I love the crunch sound of the zeller]
b. more ammo
c. better scopes

[Dtneter]

i actually like the scope though but in my mod the zeller has 6 bullets and other sounds

[peterpk]

a new scope colour will me nice to the zeller

[AllFoamNoBeer]

DICE, buff the Zeller!

Let me rephrase:

DICE, please care about 2142.

[Namakan]

My zeller scope is fine, I'll get a pic later

[1812lsd]

Let me rephrase:

DICE, please care about 2142.

Yeah! Right.

[RichardDawkins]

You don't think that will change it completely? I think there's a reason why infantry arms don't kill-kill.

lets face it, for a gun with 3 bullets, it bloody-well should do something. this is the only change that would entice me to use it without essentially making it identical to the other sniper rifles. oh and it has tactical implications... awesomeness

oh, and the pilum and other AT weapons are infantry held yet still insta-death... i see no difference here

[jackal22]

dont make it do 99% damage- bunny hopping CQC nubs with zellers anyone????

just give it the ability to snipe people out of vehicles apart from tanks/apcs

and for it to penetrate those thin metal plates you see people hide behind for cover, the barrier type looking things you see on the walkways at camp near the toll station

[NoseKi||s]

I wouldn't like to see the Zeller get buffed in terms of power or anything else related to directly killing infantry.

Both armys already have a perfectly good sniper rifle available for everyone. The Zeller isn't perhaps as good a choice if you just intend to shoot infantry all day long, but since the Zeller can do things the other rifles can't, we have to be extra careful not to make it just as good an infantry killer as the other guns are. Since the Zeller is an unlock, id like to see it as a "special tool".

You can already clear minefields for friendly vehicles with it or "kill-kill" all the people in a full FAV, or even an APC with one Zeller shot if you play your cards right, but still most people would like to buff it because it's not as good as the other rifles in simply shooting infantry.

Maybe when you shoot someone, their netbat diamond stays on for longer?

i want to see specialised darts fo the zeller, like a small explosive dart or gas dart (syphon filter anyone? )

BUT lets be honest now, does the name AWP ring a bell to anyone? All he CSS players here will realise how an AWP in the righ hands can dominate the playing field without much skill. A instant kill gun that can be used from great range is not a gret gun to ut in games like this.

I agree with the buff, but not an instant kill gun.
