basvard Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Today's Sortie has a "Sniper Only" condition, except that the Kuva Chakkur is not recognized as a sniper. Sanity check on Kuva Chakkur, that it is a sniper... in that it uses the "Sniper Ammo Mutation" mod. This is my setup Here is the Sortie mission with "Sniper Only" condition. And this is what I got Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khalox Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Imho it is not a bug. Chakkhurr is a semi-auto assault rifle, getting ammo from the sniper pool (Bramma gets from that too, and it is not a sniper either). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapt0rman Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Sniper Ammo Mutation can be equipped on launcher weapons that pulls from the sniper ammo pool, none of the other explosive or bow weapons can be used in sniper sorties either. Not that it isn't confusingly labeled, TBH at this point they should just change the name to special ammo or something. (Edit: I forgot that bows use Arrow Mutation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basvard Posted August 13, 2021 Author Share Posted August 13, 2021 Hm, points taken, regarding being a rifle instead of sniper. When you type "sniper" in the search box for weapons, the Kuva Chakkur shows up... along with other non-sniper weapons erroneously showing up too. Oh well. It does makes sense to call it "Special Ammo" along with Special Ammo Mutation for snipers, bows, launchers, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ke0mA Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Penta' s series weapons also not sniper rifles, but uses them ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgabor Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 It would be nice if weapons like the Chakhurr could be modified in the Kitgun vendor shops by attaching a scope f.ex.. From that point it could be categorized as a sniper rifle, it doesn't make any less sense than calling it an AR or a DMR since it's a slow firing gun with high per shot damage. Or it could be called an Anti-Material rifle, or Anti-Platoon rifle, with its own set of mods it could be equipped with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basvard Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 Ok... today (8/15/2021) we have another sortie with "Sniper Only" condition. Using the Ambassador, I likewise get rejected because the gun is not a sniper. So... DE... what about this?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The description clearly says "assault rifle" on the ambassador. Quote Bring negotiations to an instant conclusion with this Corpus assault rifle. Switch effortlessly between charged explosive sniper shots and rapid fire electrical assault mode The Ambassador is a Corpus assault rifle whose Alternate Fire allows switching between fully-automatic rounds or a long-ranged explosive shot. Kuva Chakkur clearly says it is a "rifle" too. Quote Detonate heads with this slow-firing rifle that rewards precision. The Kuva Chakkhurr is a unique Kuva flintlock-styled rifle.
