Simple fix for mud/sniper complaints.

Just wondering what people think of this idea;

If you have mud applied, your scope is covered in mud. It makes no sense for Fireteam to apply mud without having ever seen the predator, but maybe we can at least balance it. If you want to hide in a bush and silently snipe the predator, he should at least have a chance of seeing your position.

I don’t want to water the idea down too much, but you could also have the larger recoil weapons dissipate the mud faster.

I like this idea. It’s either; I have no mud on, am able to use my sniper scope, but reveal my heat signature or have mud on, am not able to use my sniper scope, but can’t be seen in Pred’s thermal scans.

Only issue with this is if it’s a sniper with a scope you’re using, how are they going to aim down sights? They either wouldn’t be able to aim their gun at all or the developers would be forced to create a new animation that somehow aims without looking through the scope.

The snipers are 90% as lethal with irons/red dot/holo, so maybe just add shot spread.

Yeah I was about to say that, ive just started playing human, (got to level 80 as pred only xD) but ive just won all 4 games, being the player who did basically all the pred damage, using the 50cal sniper with a redot… its insane.

IMO the snipers should only be able to take actual scopes, 4x, 6x and 8x, makes no sense to take a redot or iron sight, an actual special forces team would never do that. Turns them into slug shotguns.
