Marshal Tips

[BedsideRaptor]

I've been playing around with the marshal for a few games, but I can't seem to do very well with it. I don't know if there are hit detection issues, but I swear there are times when my crosshair is in the middle of a mighty and I don't hit him. Is there travel time on the bullets? Either way does anybody have a good strategy for this gun that might help? I've been pairing it with a gatekeeper, insoles, and a hatchet.

It always seemed to me that the hit detection for the snipers is almost dead on. Like if a bullet went just past someones shoulder or something the bullet would miss. It just takes practice. I believe there is very little bullet travel, if any. Also, be sure you are 100% NOT moving at all. Even a little bit of movement while shooting seems to throw the bullet on occasion.

Headshots. Only way to really get any kills with the weapon. You can't even body shot a speedy if he has body armor.

I've mastered it, mostly using the extended magazine attachment for it, so you can miss a couple of shots and still have plenty to take down a few guys. And, as speedy body type, so when the ammo depletes you can just gtfoutta there and reload. Also, are you making sure to stand still at the time you shoot? If you move the gun will bounce and throw off the shot. Marksman fun-fact is a MUST and Quick-Reflexes comes in handy as well. Hope this has helped!

I had more luck with the gun when I didn't use the scope. There were times when I lined up a shot and you could see the bullet trial go right through the guys face and nothing. Also had a huge problem with hitting a guy in the head and doing all but like 6 damage. Made no sense to me, hitting a speedy in the head and doing 95 points of damage only to have him kill me with 5 points of health. Most of these problems didnt happen anymore when I didn't use the scope. Seemed more accurate and deadly. Just make sure u have a good strong secondary cuz it will only do 54 points of damage up close to the body.
