Well, we're getting some junk.
Our 2 year merits are coming, nothing huge there, but there coming.
The big news is a new weapon. An upgraded Sniper Rifle. You can ONLY get it if your toon has been around for 2 years. Now, cert wuze, i have no idea. But, it fires the same bullets as the bolt driver. And i know a lot of people out there don't like the sniping system in PS. But for those of us who know how to use it, 10 shots at a fairly rabip fire, will be very nice.

I assume this new sniper rifle is semi-automatic rather than the bold operated one?

I posted this after i read about it and it seems to be in VR so i went and shot it a few times.
Yeah, it's semi. But, it is NOT the same bullet as the Bolt Driver. It takes 4-5 shots to get a guy, but it fires rather fast for a sniper rifle. Blooms like a bitch but with controlled shots, it wouldn't be very hard to master.
2 year vets get them free and i'm not sure if you can get it with sniping cert or not.
I'll just be glad to have a decent long range gun again without having to spend 3 damn cert points on it.

Just checked the devs post on it. It seems the vets will get it first before anyone else, then after a while it will be moved to the sniper cert so everyone can get it. I'm still unsure if the vets can still get it for free after the move or not.

I wonder if I will be considered a 2 year vet even though my account was dormant for 6 months?

It's not great, that is for damn sure, and i would have prefered a 2 piece .50 call machine gun so i can set up bunkers or at the end of hall ways.
