I have a very strong dislike for snipers..................I will call out to my team your location & I will do everything I can to hunt you down!.......as soon as "Heavy Ammo Available" is announced expect to feel the full wrath of my Gjallarhorn!

After you get a kill MOVE or you will get counter sniped. Also Suros is still damn powerful after its nerfs so dont be suprised when somone outguns you with it just shrug and move on. My best advice is to learn the maps and dont stay scoped facing one way all the time, watch your radar to see if some one is sneaking up on you (helps to have 3rd Eye gun skill). Also, and this is gonna sound dickish no matter what, if you see one lone team mate trying to cap a zone all by himself dont assist him, use him as bait. To put that postively provide "covering fire" for him let him cap the zone and you pick off the enemy team that comes to try and stop him. Bleh now i need to go help a noob to wash off the awful person feeling lol.

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.

First I will tell you this: get patience and time. The invisibly is nice but not overly helpful (your red sight doesn't go away). The real reason it's great is it's super stable, has a big 6 round clip and allows you to keep your radar up. These three things give you an edge. Secondly, you must always be mobile. No such thing as a sniper perch as you know it from other games. The best places for a sniper in destiny are ones with the following characteristics: long sightlines in several directions with quick and easy cover available for when you get made. Three areas come to mind: 1, on shores of time map between B and C zones where the heavy ammo spawns there are two platforms. I go back and forth between them and can nearly completely cover both B and C zones on my own. 2, the moon at the highest point of the map in a cave. You can see literally the whole map from here and can cover people getting into vehicles as well as two different spawn points. 3, blind watch, bottom of map inside corridor between C and B zones. This one may only have one really good sightline (up as people enter at the top of the stairs) but you can cover both points and the enemies just keep coming. The big key for all of these is to always be a moving target and to take cover the second you don't have the upper hand.
