You only need 2 shots max to kill someone with the AWM.

And that means about 5 shots if they are moving at all.

I will say I use them more here than in any other game since so much of the game is peeking around cover. The one game where I found and used one it went pretty well. Although it was so late game that I only got to use it a couple times before it was the lie in the grass and spray AK fire in the direction of the enemy also lying in the grass part of the game.

One shot kill through a level 3 helmet is enormously powerful. You should take the kar98 whenever you get the chance just to practice your bolt action skills

Crawl guy is a stream sniper who never shoots. He just drives vehicles and crawls around the map.

My advice to people terrified of using the kar98; Always pick it up. Stop using the m16 if you can get a different .556 AR. A fully auto AR is all you need for close combat. If you have an AR and a kar98 you only have to use the Kar98 to start engagements on stationary targets then switch guns. I get frustrated now when I don’t have a kar98 and have to shoot someone three or more times to kill them. I’ve noticed I lose 1v1 fights to people with kar98s lvl 3 helms that don’t get their shot off until I’ve already hit them at least two times with a .556 gun.
I went through a stage where I avoided it all the time, but now see I was hurting myself because I wasn’t making good decisions when to use it.

Yep, this was me too until I started playing squads with dudes that valued it really highly. I figured they knew something I didn't, so I started taking it too and now I see its power.

It might be slightly less valuable in solos. The sound of a bolt action really draws people in, and the slow rof means randos can get the drop on you if you have no one to watch your back

I'd say it's even better in solos, because if you can land that headshot you've actually killed someone(usually) instead of merely having knocked them down for a teammate to pick up.

The Kar98 is better in Solos. The ability to take a person out of the game in 1 shot is not to be hosed with.

Versus other guns in squads the Kar98 is a bit of a secondary choice now that we have the Mini-14 and the SKS isn't impossible to control anymore.
Plus it's no longer a crate drop.

What the gently caress is wrong with you people not picking up AWMs. It is gamechangingly strong in a way that no other box gun is.

it's really funny to me to imagine a person getting really excited to find an AWM in a crate and immediately getting pissed when they realize there is no ammo.

I thought the same thing.

But it seems like he's having fun with ChocoTaco, so he gets a pass in my book.

Plus, he made himself useful.

I surprised there isn't more stream snipers that just loot up the early to mid game and bring the streamer late game loot + vehicles.

Yeah i know i know. But this is the first time I'd seen it work so heavily in favor of one side in a firefight.
I guess it's impossible to know without a killcam whether that dude i freaked out on killed with a double barrel was desynched, or if any of the other fights I've won were influenced heavily by it.

It just takes the wind outta your sails.

I enjoy it for the voice he uses (he's a native Australian doing a whiny American kid accent), the attitude he has (positivity), and trying to protect ChocoTaco from bad guys by punching them while crawling. He stays on brand pretty well, and has a good rapport with Choco. It's a nice break from a lot of the toxic chat that you'd hear otherwise over gamechat.
