Breacher Class Problems

LiamBai · 2014-05-27, 16:20

With the new update, one of the first things I noticed is that the breacher class is now given a scope by default. That's okay, but for many factions I'm annoyed that this has replaced ironsights for the alt kit with a red dot, since I hate a lot of the red dot sights(US Army, MEC, ...).
Of particular annoyance to me is the disappearance of the alternate double-shotgun breacher kit that the British have. This was my second favourite kit in the game, so I'm pretty sad to see it go. Granted, shotguns are a bit of a niche, but a lot of us loved the double-shotgun kit.

I'm sad to see scopes introduced to medic and breacher, as they used to excell in close range, and caused them to rely on their squad for longer range fire support, necessitating teamwork. I think everything being scoped now will result in a much larger number of rambo-breachers, wandering around the map killing fobs and picking people off from large distances.

Should remove grenades from them; that would be balanced.

I believe that there are better ways to balance them than this

Russian breacher does need more stuff.

But it's not shotgun; that would be too boring.

Maybe some more grenades?

As far as I remember the scope was omitted originally to prevent the kit being as mentioned, a roof sniper-ninja kit (now created as the Spotter with his 3 patches). That said, the game has evolved since then, so why not wait and see?

you crazy? breacher always first goes inside of uncleared houses, how he should fight in rooms without grenades?

I prefer be free in choosing optic. This kit have a rope, no more, and it's my right to decide where I'll use it and will I have optic or not. All old stereotypes can be included in new system by not choosing ACOG os PSO.

Breacher is OP. There's no good way to balance it without throwing the entire game into disarray. If you give the rope to another spawnable kit instead of breacher then it would be slightly better.

Breacher is fine atm. Every faction that I know of apart from militia and Russia don't have a 2nd weapon with a shotgun
