Opinions on the Barrett M82A1
Comments

In my opinion, I think it should be buffed or "un-nerfed" in Mm/HM/HMX. Part of the reason is because the sniper is very rare, and dealing heavy damage to mutants Is 1 of its unique abilities. I hope this thread will be heard and the sniper will be buffed in the near future.

e-o
+1 Barrett is in huge disadvantage. as some one mentioned, if is impossible to HMX,MM,HM - the gun is just too WEAK, too heavy, too SLOW both in reload and draw out speed.
The reload speed: You don't reload at all, when the clip is empty, pick up a new gun.
The Draw out speed:Is like, takeout it of the bag. assemble together. load it.
THE WEIGHT: What is this, Gatling gun?
Even doe there are so much disadvantage I still got dis gun >;3
I lub it. -
I have encounter myself the Barrett. I do say as for it's look, it has way to be a fashion model. But like the old saying "never judge the book by it's cover", it's action really makes want to route to another gun then the Barrett. Why? like Xbox mention it's defect.
I would rather see a buffed on it's action, beside HM/MM/HMX but regular mode. So other snipers won't have the edge over the Barrett with it's slow delivery.
Overall it is indeed a good sniper for my past experience.
Thanks for the Support Dyno D -
Well i mean the sniper is semi auto in real life , soooooo..... ya cant really compare its bullet size to a game. I wouldnt really be a fan of getting hit 1k damage by a pro qs ever 5 seconds in a hmx match.
Sorry brah. Ima have to disagree with you here. :P -
I won the Barrett red dragon the day it came out and
and was excited to use it
I notice it was slow and heavy but i didn't think much of it cause i thought i was going to get used to it since i was got used to frf2 and been using that for a year
Ways i get killed most of the time in sniper vs snipe:
- I shoot and miss and try to hide or quick switch a way but its too slow
- I try jumping and shooting cause walking too slow but idk whats wrong with that cause it seems like it take forever for you to hit the ground so you usually get killed in the air
- I shoot and there no cover so i quick-switch to knife, the other person shoot so i try to shoot him again but the quick switch too slow
Most people say the Barrett is op but its really not and i think it deserve at least a movement increase, heck i would trade the wallbang and the 100 hit everywhere for faster stats so i can at least enjoy it cause the only way i really enjoy it is playing with average people or noobs.
easily choose a m700 or sl8 over this -
To the people who want to alter the reload, draw speeds, etc, and nerf other stats to compensate, I just gotta ask, why not use another sniper? Might as well be an AWM at that point.
I really think the main point of this gun is the modes it is intended to be used in. It should out perform an AWM in HMX/MM because that is really the mode it was meant to be used in.
A more general purpose weapon should have more mediocre performance overall, while a more specialized weapon should perform really well in some areas and poorly in others. Like how typically a shotgun is better in close range than an assault rifle. One is specialized, the other is general use.
Basically, give the Barrett the stats it needs in the rounds it was made for. -

If you trade the wallbang and 100 everywhere it wouldnt be barret no more
, that's how powerful it is.
My tip for you is try to bhop (or run) with melee when moving in long-distance, when you almost got to the point you want to be just switch it back, if you miss, switch to pistol and continue shooting or hide or even run for your life with your melee, lmfao.
Try to hide behind sth and then jump to see what's behind it and then you can make a wallbang shot, and you have sth to cover you.
I've been using barret since day 1 (yes I won the normal one the night it came out, then I won the red dragon one and it's still in my 4th bag, AWM VIP just sits there for exp boost:).)
+1 again for "un-nerf" the barret, I want to use it in Mutant mode or event Wave mode and Zombie mode like other versions. -

Thanks Nick for the +1

for my opinion, there are something they need to change:
1st: fix the damage. The gun is powerful and 1 hit to kill, BUT you can't get 1 shoot 2 kills like other snipers cuz the 2nd person that you hit would have about 40hp left. That's awful!
2nd: the reload speed and drawspeed are too slow. I don't need it become the fastest one but please make it equal as other snipers or at least slower than them a little bit. -
Im just gonna wait for the Barrett VIP that shud guarantee me one rather than gambling for one. And yeah they really need to buff it because i am a Hero mode player.
The chances are Barrett VIP will be buffed to its normal Mutation damage, or no one will be buying it = no profit -

Sounds good but if they wont buff it, doesnt surprise me, u know how z8 is. " Oh the dev has decided to leave the Barrett less powerful in our version so it can be unique " some bs like that right?? LOL -

People are will to spin for the normal and red dragon version, what makes u think barret lovers wont buy it if it's not buffed? Just like the kukri-vip people just want an easy way to own an weapon. -
Hey, CrossFire Community!
The Barrett M82A1 fires .50BMG Anti-Material ammunition, which the most powerful ammunition caliber. It is the only sniper rifle that can 1-hit kill anywhere on the body with full wallbang damage. In HMX, Barrett M82A1 proves to be a valuable sniper rifle as it can score 3x damage against mutants (max 5000 damages with Headshot, min 1000 damage with leg/arm shot (Except CF NA, it has been nerfed). However, this gun is very heavy and take the longest time to cycle the bolt, making it not much more useful than regular sniper rifles in TDM/FFA match.
The Barrett M82A1 has been HEAVILY NERFED here in CF NA.
It suffers from ~
-Slower Reload Speed (compared to other versions)
-Slower Movement (compared to other versions)
-Slower Draw Speed (compared to other versions)
-Slower Firing Speed (compared to other versions)
It has HORRIBLE Damage in Mutation Modes like Hero Mode X/Hero Mode
-The AWM Deals 1600 Damage while the Barrett does 400 Damage (Head-Shot)
-The AWM Deals 800 while the Barrett does 400 (Body Shot)
-The AWM Deals 400 while the Barrett does 100 (Leg Shot)
I feel like the Barrett M82A1 Deserves a Buff in Mutation Mode Type Games.
Why?
-Rare (Black Market Item not easy to win, which wouldn't make it "overpowered")
-Slow (The Barrett M82A1 Shoots 33/100 times as fast as the AWM, yet the AWM Deals more Damage)
-Made for Mutation Modes (Barrett M82A1 was designed for these modes such as Hero Mode/Hero Mode X, so I don't see why it's so weak)
Please post Opinions Below, I just wanted to see what the community thinks about this gun and what the future of it should be.
Thank you,
Xbox?I totally agree with you. I recently won the Red Dragon version, and I'm totally disappointed. -

Okeh lets not try to derail dis thread and get duh mods to close it
I'm not sure how the profit is going to go if they released the other 3 dragon Barretts... Better start buffing it soon or no money from Barrett VIP bro
