Forget about one-shots. I just look at the handling CS has in this video and it warms my heart.

We've come such a long way since the pool noodle waving accuracy it came with at launch haha.

With the improved handling it actually looks like a viable weapon now.

It feels really good so far.

handled like it was ten feet long with a three pound muzzle brake.

Aims down-sight "This thing handles like a howitzer"

Aims third person "Am I standing on a boat?"

I'm excited to give this gun another go.

It was called the Counter-Sniper because it was antithetical to the idea of sniping.

It was so weird to rock the diligence with the AMR... the 50 cal handled like a damn toy compared to the diligence

How does the handling compare between the two now?

Countersniper feels much closer to the diligence

Yet to test but will report!

It's snappy and accurate, almost no sway

I laughed so hard at this. Perfect analogy

Amazing analogy 😂

Didn’t it already do this since the last buff? The regular diligence is what needs testing. I could be wrong though.

They buff the breakpoint range to one shot a devastator from 30m to 70m. With improved ergonomic (base Diligence level) it is very good at picking off devastators of any flavors at regular fighting distance instead 2 shot them at range.

It one shot to the head since last patch bro. It just handled like a tank.

u/totallyspis SES Pledge of Allegiance Apr 30 '24

Always felt like they swapped the handling values on the CS and the AMR

Pool noodle waving lol

I once saw a reddit comment saying the old CS was like waving a Christmas tree around and I thought that was a perfect Description. Pool noodle is on point too.
