My Hinkley experience tells me that he couldn't have killed you in 2 burst with lsw if you had 70% DRES, not saying you're lying, it just doesn't seem probable to me. Was it 1hex?
Yeah, you could also try to 1 hex with sniper rifle.
By the other hand LSW i OW as fuck right now, everybody runs with LSW. The game is not diversed and is not balanced.
You dont have such HP/DMG resistance or he critically hit you. List of some weapons you can use in PvP: Grenade Launcher, dynacord stick, avenger, lsw, sniper rifle, .223 pistol, rocket launcher, XL, gatling laser, etc. Each weapons has its own role.
If there is such a short list of weapons like in this game, DMG should be dependent of %skill.
Then, people would have 300% Skill, nothing would change.
