See I think Snipers follow a rule: one shot, one kill at a distance is a must The Longbow doesn’t follow that rule It’s in the sub-breed of snipers that instead take two shots with easier handling and faster follow-up shots. The Longbows role is in the name: DMR. Designated Marksman Rifle Not as powerful as its bigger cousin the Kraber, but it makes up for power with speed. It’s a high strung weapon, but like a true longbow, it takes skill to land a bullseye. Longbow DMR: Shoot straight, shoot true, “Fail not”
Nice video man. Really cool to see good and relatively consistent titanfall 2 content from people nowadays :) As for the DMR, this is absolutely one of those weapons that has a huge difference in peformance depending on whether or not youre on PC or console. I decided to try it out again the other day just on a whim, and was very pleased with how well it worked. Rather than staying farther back than everyone else I was much more aggressive and basically played it like you might imagine a g2, just a little more careful and deliberate. I did this for about 5 games, rarely used my titan for the purpose of seeing how much I could do with just the DMR, and saw a pretty consistent 20+ kills across 3 attrition and 2 bounty hunt matches. Using Stim as well to reposition either offensively or defensively was a big part of it as well, I feel like the speed of positioning that stim gives in letting you stay on the move between spots is just much more valuable than cloak for this playstyle. This is probably more difficult to pull off on console because youre going to be getting into more medium-close range fights than a typical cloak-DMR playstyle
The dmr is like the current state of the helldivers 2 Ajudicator except it's not full auto and is never getting a buffer, so yeah, bad. Edit was for a typo or two
I prefer DMR to Double shot but tbf I think that's a skill Issue, DMR has more transferable skills from Kraber but DMR is such a strange gun. Plus the two projectiles means only one hits and I miss a kill cuz of it.
to be fair, on pc it has many names - the scullcracker, the 2-tapper, the hipfirepanicspamkiller, the zone controler. You see, on PC you can aim waaay better on long distance since you learn to use no crutches of aimassist. And with good aim anybody past 30 meters has a longer TTK than your DMR, your only counter is CAR grapler flying at Mach FUCK
This is actually painful. And, I have to say it, you're using the DMR wrong. As is everyone who insists it's bad. It's simple. Engage quickly at midrange against an unsuspecting target. Is target dead? Yes? Next target. Is target dead? No. Just pull the trigger literally one more time. Going for the cross map headshots (especially with the standard scope, and especially when you youself admit to sucking at sniping) is just beating your head against a brick wall and expecting the wall to cave before your skull does. It's also a good candidate for Amp against Titans. High pinpoint damage plus high fire rate means it's an outstanding supplement for something like the Archer where ammunition pool is prohibitively low. But because no one on the planet seems to use the weapon this way, and everyone's married to their CAR anyways, the consensus somehow came to be that this perfectly serviceable gun which feels in niche exactly like its meant to is bad. Problem is the user, not the tool.
They should of added hipfire recticles to sniping to allow it to be more viable up close, and they should of allowed only for the longbow and double-take to use other optics of a smaller zoom variable like the 3x HCOG like in apex, also there is no aim assist on the longbow for controller in TF2 which means using it on console for the average controller player is a massive disadvantage.
I just wanna ask I’m watching this video because I’m bored but when you’re playing tone, why can you aim in so much? Because I it won’t let me aim in that much the ridicule is more open than it was before and I’m confused because it does do it for me, but it doesn’t for you
as a double take main (yes, i am weird for that) i think the dmr is more weird than bad really. i’ve used it from time to time as a fun switch-up from my beloved weird little sniper dmr shotgun thing however its biggest draw in comparison is that it does not give nearly the same hit of dopamine on a kill as the dt. id call it the double take but easier, longer range, and slightly boring
I’m surprised. In Asian servers DMR Spit fire and g2 are the top hated weapons for their high damage and campy nature. Especially good players with these weapons can camp and your screen literally turns grey the instant you spawn. DMR literally has full map hit scan 2 shot ttk. I don’t understand why people think it’s actually bad.
Riddle me this, what does the Double Take do that the DMR doesn't, apart from having worse attachements and a gimmicky paired projectile that can ricochet (if you waste the slot on it)? And the G2 has massive damage falloff at range, losing it's ability to headshot comparatively quickly, while the DMR doesn't have that problem. If you can see it, you can reach out and touch it. Point. Pull. Done.
@@TheSimpleMan454 double take is MASSIVELY more effective and usable at close range compared to the DMR, thanks to its more easily hipfired projectiles and faster ADS time (paired with a more clear and open scope). i wouldn’t say either is significantly better than the other, just different.
@@codylegoIt does in fact, and moreover it gets a significant buff from Amp. If you consistently hit shots you can do a number on all but the two Ogres assuming they're unshielded.
"Viable" you say. It's perfectly fine used correctly. A near hitscan two-tap with practically no cap on its fire rate? In any other thread that would have people screeching "BROKEN!" Hit your shot(s) and you'll have more consistent success with the DMR than either the Kraber or the Double Take. Seems pretty viable to me.

It can one shot, only in the head though
If it still one shot when amped it would be goated
Bad gun
>spare no mercy for monarch players
>plays tone
So he's based
Duwomp
Short answer. Yes.
DMR is so dog... Except when you get that holy one tap headshot
U Here? 🫶
It's so ass but I can't stop using it

YAYY NEW TITANFALL THURSTDAY!! And Yeah the Dmr Is actually bad..that's why I more use the Kraber or in general just The best and one shot Sniper Lol.

Camping with the DMR seems like a change of pace and it's kinda relaxing. I've been doing it for some time now and I run it with grapple.
“Mom can we have g2?”
“No we have g2 at home”
g2 at home:
How do you detonate the explosive charges so quick? I've been trying to use them and I can't make it explode as fast as I see you doing it for example
trigger them before they land, the only explode when they land.
also button mashing probably
edit: i love satchels
@@jerfer. Nice, ty. I'll try that
The DMR just needs the right playstyle.
I matched a player yesterday that DESTROYED us on eden with that gun.
It's kinda busted if you're really good with it, definatley a showmanship weapon
The DMR is fine, its the G2 and spitfire that are broken and make the DMR feel outgunned at longer distances.

Try A wall dmr in frontier defense. You'll never kill a reaper across the map faster.
I used to main the DMR just to get the Fire Burning Man banner. Acts a lot like a Tone.
interesting, the least aim assist a gun has the least like it is by controller players, but I thought aim assist didnt make a difference
That painfull moment when you have the game in Ps4 but you don,t have ps plus

it was never bad, just annoying as shit in the hands of someone who can actually aim
it was the first gun I got 40 kills without counting titan kills
Are you a Zelda fan? The music at match 2. haha.
I would argue the dmr is one of the worse guns in the game
g2 better dmr sucks doubletake better

Please try double take next :3
Imagine maining it
as a G14 Kraber (G17) main, i say Kraber > orther snipers in ttf2
Lol imagine getting kills (I'm a dmr main)
@@burglovesdmr just How? How can you use a sniper thar dosent kill with one shot?
@@burglovesdmr and how many kill do you have??
Aim, and then just pull the trigger again. @@aslef_ofc
Try to shoot titan's crit spots, dmr has prety well dps on them
No it fucking doesnt holy shit
@@codylegoIt does in fact, and moreover it gets a significant buff from Amp. If you consistently hit shots you can do a number on all but the two Ogres assuming they're unshielded.
0 views in 26 seconds, fell off... And yes the g2 is better
As a high gen player I will say that this weapon be absolute garbage
So... IS the DMR really that bad?
It's definitely not the worst gun ever, but its playstyle can be pretty unfun and unintuitive in a fast paced game like Titanfall
Due to the ttk of other guns and the speed players move a sniper needs to be one shot to be viable
"Viable" you say. It's perfectly fine used correctly. A near hitscan two-tap with practically no cap on its fire rate? In any other thread that would have people screeching "BROKEN!"
