Three days later, it was nerfed.
The official announcement on the Counter-Strike blog said that they reduced the damage and lengthened the drawback time, which is great. But is it enough?
Not according to CS:GO fans on Reddit. The common complaint is that the R8 still has ridiculous accuracy while running and jumping and that it’s priced too low at $850. Here are the exact numbers.
Damage 115 -> 86 Spread 0. 48 -> 0. 52 Charge Time for Left Click 0. 3333 seconds -> 0. 4 seconds
In other words, the gun can’t be used for easy one-shots anymore, but getting a blind shot around a corner is still pretty easy thanks to the movement accuracy. Still, it’s enough to smurf some noobs, right?
I was kidding. Please don’t smurf noobs. Instead, check out Gameskinny’s CS:GO content!
