Big Changes To Weapon Balance In Store for Battlefield 3
Foregrip (Nerfed)
The forgrip’s purpose is to reduce vertical recoil by 34% while giving a -20% penalty to base accuracy while aimed down sight. Generally, it should be used for close quarter situations when firing from the hip would me much more beneficial.
Bipod (Buffed)
The Bipod is meant for players who want to take the time to set up in a good position and defend said position or objective. It will reduce horizontal and vertical recoil (percentage depending on the weapon) as well as bullet dispersion (again, depending on the weapon and ammo type).
Suppressor (Slightly Nerfed)
The Suppressor’s main function is to provide stealth (keeping the player from showing up on the minimap when firing as well as reduce sound and visual muzzle signature) as well as provide an additional 25% accuracy bonus when aiming down sight including a 10% reduction in vertical recoil, due to it’s weight. However, the drawback here will be a reduction in minimum and maximum range (not damage) as well as a -50% penalty to base accuracy when firing from the hip.
Heavy Barrel (Greatly Buffed)
The Heavy Barrel will allow players to increase their maximum range (not damage) as well as benefit from a 50% bonus to base accuracy when aimed down sight. However, due to the barrel’s weight, it will make firing from the hip -25% less accurate as well as increase the dispersion per shot by 25%.
Flash Suppressor (Greatly Buffed)
The Flash Suppressor will give players some of the benefits of the suppressor but without as many penalties. It will only provide players with a reduction in visual muzzle signature as well as a 20& reduction in vertical recoil. The penalty here will be a -20% decrease in base accuracy when firing from the hip.
Target Pointer (Unchanged)
The Target Pointer will greatly benefit those firing from the hip by providing a 33% increase in base accuracy. On top of this, it will still be able to slightly blind opponents but will also give away the players position more easily.
No Attachments
It was not mentioned in Kertz’s Reddit post, but we can assume that a base weapon would be ideal for players who wish to avoid any negatives of any attachments, provided that they feel the bare state of the weapon is fine.
Of course, feedback is not only appreciated but beneficial. What do you guys think? Let us know in the comments below.

I love how people are talking about the M98B saying it should be one hit since its a .50 cal, The M98B doesn't even shoot a .50 cal, the M82 will shoot a .50 cal but the M98 shoot a .338 Magnum

graphiculariCycoWolfIVYou would be so **** up beyond belief. A shot right to the chest would pretty much finish you offCerealGuy but not OHK snipers? come one. if you shoot someone in the chest with the M98 in real from afar they will have a massive hole in them
Yea but that doesnt mean he is dead. The only real one hit kill from a sniper is from the shoulders and above (head, throat, etc)
Well in the game it would represent a huge health drop, also sinse when there was real bullets in Battlefield? Thought so.

Try taking a 50. cal to the chest and staying alive
If you did live from a 50. cal in the chest, you wouldn't want to live there would be so much damage

Sinse when there was .50 cal snipers on Battlefield? How do you know what kind of bullet the snipers use in Battlefield? I suggest to research Sniper and their cartriges before making such assumptions. Also Battlefield is a game, not real war.

Try taking a 50. cal to the chest and staying alive

Why is it that the two attachments i use are getting nerfed? Is this because i usually go 50-3?
