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?

2 RepliesYou should find vantage points that have little room for enemy movement. Do not stay down sights keep a steady eye on your radar. Once you get a few kills in that spot MOVE ALONG. Sniping shouldn't be lazy, get some kills play the game with your primary until the right opportunities present themselves. I'd suggest starting off on control crucible. Good luck guardian.
