Why would you incentivise trolling? A one shot, hit scan sniper rifle means at any point in the game you can get taken out from someone 200m away. That takes away from the fast paced arena feel, because now you have players that do just that, sit in a safe location just popping their whole sniper clip at you until finally they headshot you or one shot body you from 80 health. The reason this is really bad is, if you don't have a sniper, the only counter to someone shooting you from 100m or more is someone else sniping them, while their trying to hit you.
The next full cheese weapon is the salvo, if someone is inside a building with a mine and salvo its uncounterable. Unless the zone closes, forcing them out of the building. The full upgrade salvo can kill you in 5 shots, almost 4, that alone wouldn't be that bad but coupled with the fact that it throws you into the air means if they hit you once with it, you can no longer move/run away. There has been many times already I have ran into people who sit in a corner of a building not moving so there is no way of knowing they're in said building, then when you turn the corner, boom, 1-2 second TTK, unless I had the armor hack. Even the komodo, which is very similar the salvo, doesn't have this problem because it is an impact only projectile, since the salvo shots can bounce off walls, it is near impossible for them to not inevitably hit you.
Finally we have the dtap, this one isn't as bad as the other 2 but if you going to give tracer rounds then take down the damage. The dtap should only be used to ensure a kill when you hit someone for 80+ damage. It shouldn't be used as a primary "never miss" weapon, aim assist plus the dtap equals the ultimate cheese.
I really like the balance between the ripper, hexfire, harpy, riot. The only thing about the skybreaker that I think should change is how fast the reload speed is, you can swipe a 3 man a bit too easily with 2 shots if their on a roof. Upping the reload time by 1.5X I think would be a little more balanced.
All in all, I'm really liking the overall game, but it's very annoying since, ripper/hexfire/riot/harpy = skillbased sniper/salvo/dtap = catering to trolls
Also on a side note, please take down the aim assist, it's way too strong, most pc players don't have god aim, so making those players fight against a watered down aimbot is a bit much and will drive a lot of people away from this game, just like apex on pc. Plus, this game isn't about having good aim, it's about having really good tracking, which aim assist does for you. And yes I have tested the aim assist with my controller to confirm.
