So I admit I'm switched to playing HC almost exclusively, and so recently I've been doing a lot of math out to figure out the STK for the weapons I typically use. With the most recent patch as well as Den's updates the same day, he wrote this: "In "Hardcore" players have approximately 60 to 65 health, preventing Bolt Action Rifles from being a one-shot-kill to the body."
How much HP does a player have in HC now? This is important because a bolt action sniper rifle with magnum ammo will still OSK at range if the target has 60 HP and isn't using body armor. But, if the target has 65 HP, it won't.
Anyone know the exact values? Even without magnum ammo, I still typically OSK with bolt action rifles, so I'm a bit confused.

So earlier, Den's chart read that players have "approximately 60 health" in hardcore, and now it reads "In "Hardcore" players have 50 health."
For the most part, I can still OSK to the body with any bolt action rifle. Did HP in HC actually increase? I don't know how to look in the game files so I'm hoping someone else can, or that Den knows wtf changed last patch. -_-

It does not appear that health was actually changed. So I put it back to 50 on the thing.

Plausible. So far I've only got my own briefly performed test in which I shot several enemies in the body with a bolt action rifle from more than 100m without magnum and they all died.

I've had similar results. If HP in HC was increased, bolt action rifles still do enough to OSK even at their lowest damage.

i tested further with uav (10 damage all distances, so 5 hits necessary) and pkm (12,5, so 4) and it really appears to still be 50.

I wonder why their patch notes said otherwise. Maybe it was an intended change but they never got around to it or something.

imho it would make far more sense to lower the minimum damage of the bolt actions to 49...but even with that i would not be too happy because of the obvious compromise away from realism. there should be another way to balance out sniper rifles without making them ludicrously weak
