    Nerf the isolater to deal 99 damage. Reason is that with the isolater being one hit anywhere, mc war gets annoying when you just keep on getting one shooted in the leg by an isolater. Give the isolater a slight nerf and people the user will actually have to learn how to pick off weak enemies and hit the head. Simple idea. As for the ammunition count, give the isolater 32 rounds. 32 rounds is plenty to nuke if you aim and shoot with precision.

    Edit: If the damage nerf is a no, just anerf the ammo to 32 rounds to balance out its power.

    I really agree. The one-shotting with anywhere Iso shots starts to get obnoxious after a while, especially in ffa because they can "quick-scope". :stuck_out_tongue:

    Wouldn't this pretty much make it as bad as the first sniper? How about we keep the Isolator how it is. Other guns are better than it anyways.

    Irony:
    L118a (the first sniper) is the 3rd best sniper in the game. It's better than majority of the snipers.

    I know some people who get nukes incredibly quickly with the Isolator. Other guns may be better with it, but if you use iso correctly, it is an incredibly (near)unstoppable weapon.

    really? how? It's better than the Barret?

    You can easily get nukes quicker with any high-leveled automatic weapon. The Isolator is good at what it does, and should be left alone. If you want to kill and Iso user, use Iso or Model. It's not that difficult to kill an Iso user that way. Unless the Iso user is @tallscot

    Nerfing the damage is a no from me. So many players will complain about how crappy the Isolator is without its reliable one shot ability; probably more complaints than when the recoil got re added. But, it sounds viable to nerf the ammo capacity as long as some of the other snipers receive a buff in the amount of starting ammo.

    The damage is virtually the same for both snipers (9 hearts), but the L118a carries twice the amount of starting ammo and has a slightly higher fire rate.

    Yes to the ammo, no to the damage nerf. 32 OSKs + secondary ammo + 5 ks ammo sounds reasonable. Nerfing the damage however, is not so reasonable. The OSK is the iso's specific strenght. Take that away aswell as the ammo and even the l188a is better :/

    It would pretty much be what happened with the Barrett then. A weapon that is easily surpassed by the starter sniper, the L118A.
    Big no from me.

    Technically better yes but this the best ( or one of ) weapon so why not lower the ammunition as suggested ?

    Because the Isolater is already so outclassed by other guns. I would prefer it to do one job, and do it excellently.
