How to use Sniper Rifle in Crucible

I am very new to gaming (modern gaming anyways). In the first 4-6 weeks of playing destiny I couldn't break 500 points in Crucible. I worked at it and eventually could top the charts... since reduced to middle ranking in IB. Recently I thought I would expand my skills by learning to be a Sniper, but I don't get how to do it in Destiny. 1) I find that I settle into a spot and end up getting killed by someone with a euros regime or other high powered non-sniper gun... whats the point of a sniper rifle if the other guns have the same range without losing mobility or sight? Am I doing something wrong here? An example would be sniping by C facing B on Venus map (maat mons I think its called). 2) it seems like there are not many snipe points, so if I try to hunker down, I get maybe two kills until I am hunted down. Tips? Tricks?

  • There used to be great sniper maps like bastion and first light :/ they have been taken out for some reason. One more thing snipe, the move spots. Have two or three spots. You can come back to same spot later on but change it up. Know the map layout. It will give you an idea on where to snipe. If you don't have the third eye perk. Always be cautious of lurking enemies. Check your radar frequently. If possible try for headshots, if not two quick shots to the torso is preferable.
