stats because no one else will:

on hit: mark player for death. this allows you to see them through walls for 15 seconds.
on hit: make player bleed 3 hp for 5 seconds.
shot is now a arching projectile.

also crit while submerged? (i know it's pretty niche but still)

just give it 50% less damage, make it bleed for 5 sec, and make it medieval

Upsides:
Fires a fast moving projectile
Fully charge body shots slow enemies by 40% for 1.5s
Mini-Crits vs wet enemies.

Downsides:
No Headshots.
Slower firing speed.
Projectiles arc

I think it would be better if it was like that weapon I saw in a TF2 mod or something were instead of it coming off the gun and sniper has to reload it being like a harpoon gun where if you shoot a enemy it pulls the enemy towards you and you can still use the scope but it wont have the red dot.

Effect: When you hit an enemy, it stuns them for a duration proportional to the distance of the hit and reels them towards you.
On Hit: Mark for Death
On Hit: Bleeding
- No Headshots
- Slower charge and firing rate

Can be used in medieval mode

Idea


Positive stats:

- Damage dealt by headshots increase with the damage you have done, replacing the charge shot feature in scoping

- Random crits apply to special harpoons


Neutral stats:

- Right-clicking fires special harpoons that can penetrate multiple players, but do not deal headshot damage

- Holding right click when firing a special harpoon reels in enemies


Negative stats:

- Cannot scope

- Cannot charge shots regularly

- Fires gravity-affected projectiles

- -40% max ammo

- No random crits for regular shots(duh)


What do you guys think?

Forgot to mention a few features
- If you're standing on a solid surface while reeling players, they will move towards you in a grappling hook fashion
- If you are in water or the air while reeling players, you move towards them in a grappling hook fashion
- Special harpoons deal bleeding damage, the bleed time rising for each person penetrated in a single shot, so the first person gets 3 seconds, and the fifth person gets 10 seconds

realistically it should be a rifle with the upsides of what the fortified compound is a skin of (i frogot the name of the weapon its a reskin of)

Oh The Panacek put out a couple videos showing it off with their own chosen stats, and it looked pretty good there.

Geeze, I'm surprised how much it looks like you can get away with making what could easily be an op weapon if you take away a sniper's headshots and make sure that default max damage is 120. Light classes don't get oneshot.

That scope damage boost makes me think of that part of The Sound of Medicine where Sniper gets instakilled from a robot shooting an arrow down his scope.

Have you ever played Dead By Daylight as The Deathslinger?
