So i read in the patch notes that the stalker bolter was buffed in the last patch. Curious I built a sniper marine and tested it out. Holy Kek it went from fail to good with me getting 9 kills against Eldar usually 1 shotting. So anyone else playing around with sniper marines and can you build a better sniper bolter using parts?
CHECK IT OUT BOYZ!! DA NEW STALKER BOLTER IS STRONGA DEN DA ZOGGIN ACE DAKKA! AND IT'S A RIFLE TYPE HEHAA!! YAY SPACEY MARINEZ MATT WARD PROTECTS YOU ALL GUD! PFFFFFFF
It's pretty good when you can get a good location to take potshots but it sure as fuck isn't an Autocannon or Ace Dakka. You've got a very slow ROF, a scope that makes it useless in anything beyond 50m range, and if you get into close range, you better pull out that pistol quick cause your primary weapon is fucking worthless. All in all it's got the same problem as the Sternguard Bolter. It's okay, but that scope ruins it.
True. But in their last twitch they mentioned that you will be able to turn off scopes. When this will happen , well that's anyone's guess.
Stalker does not suck in closer range you only need to hit 2 or maybe 3 shots to down almost anything. In fact eldar goes down in 1 stalker headshot and like 1 or 2 boltgun rounds.
The hip fire is accurate enough that you don't have to aim. Use it like a point blank shotgun blast and it works fine. Also you're right its about AC...its more annoying. At least an AC is easy to figure out where shots are coming from. GL figuring out where shots are coming from on a map like Torias or the walls of Harkus.
I'm sorry what. Is this suddenly CoD where you hipfire .50s and get kills? I actually wish there were combat shotguns. That would be cool. But this doesn't work as well as you might think. Unlike the slab slugga which has rof to fall back on, the stalker is useless in close range engagements. I keep thinking back to Space Marine and how amazing that game was for multiplayer. It's a shame the devs here never played it.
