A Battlefield 2042 sniper rifle is proving to be a much better tank killer than rocket launcher

One thing that has always set Battlefield apart from its competitors like Call of Duty is the over-the-top hoaxes related to tanks, airplanes, and helicopters you can deal with.

But in Battlefield 2042, players find it difficult to counter these scams when on foot due to the limited anti-vehicle weapon kit available. In fact, a reddit user of SheroxXx found that the NWT-50 sniper rifle can kill a tank much faster than the recoilless M5, which was purpose-built by the developers to be an anti-armor weapon.

One major factor appears to be rate of fire, with the NWT capable of firing much faster than the M5. In fact, it can take out a tank nearly double the speed. It’s also more forgiving, as missing a round or two still leaves you with a decent enough amount of damage in the magazine. As user DovahBornKing points out in the comments, tanks in 2042 require at least four rockets to kill, even from behind, and you can only carry three without having to refuel. This is to make the tanks look really scary, but it doesn’t feel particularly balanced if you’re the one on foot

Have you played Battlefield 2042?

YES NO

The NWT takes a long time to unlock, but late game sniper rifles are typically not twice as good as a rocket launcher. Ideally, the breakouts should give you more options and new ways to play. This situation makes the M5 look like a wet noodle launcher that you are forced to use until you can unlock a real anti-armor gun and ensures that there really isn’t a playstyle niche for our poor recoil-less friend one. once you have access to the NWT.

This situation is related to the fact that Battlefield 2042 is one of the most played and lowest rated games on Steam right now. Missing features from previous games in the series, such as tanks no longer taking extra damage from the rear and sides as noted above, are among the most common complaints. Everyone wants to play the new Battlefield enough that the numerous launch issues haven’t stopped them from launching, but they’re such a constant distraction that over 30,000 people have taken the time to post their own warning stories for potential buyers.
