[i]Please be honest Sniper mains (90% of this community), this isn't a Huntard rant. It's a discussion rather than a nerf callout.[/i]
[i]Yes, this is an opinion based poll, oh reader mine. Don't be too harsh with your opinions...[/i]
I am not asking for a sniper nerf, I think they require skill to use. What im asking for people to vote on is whether the BODY SHOT damage is too much.
• Its very easy to pick off damaged targets, even if they were only hit by one burst or round.
• Its become common to body shot and switch to primary to kill off an enemy. This has a quicker death time than two 1000-yard stare rounds to the body, especially with QuickDraw.
• Once you have been body shotted, you are vulnerable to the sniper and the other enemies (since your instantly low health).
I think the two shot body shot should stay because it's fair enough to get out of the way of a second sniper shot, I only think it's too much damage to be suddenly picked off from a random MIDA shot.
What do you guys think?

Do this to body damage Black Spindle type: 151 1000 Yard type: 139 Yasmin type: 105 Praedyth's type: 96 Wayloran's type: 84 This would make Yasmin type and up 2-tap but would only leave you 1 hit by hand cannon if they use a black spindle type sniper. It also allows for 2-taping low armor guadians with Praedyth type.

11 RepliesSnipers need to have body shot damage reduced to make it a 3 shot...it is way to easy to drag your scope across the screen and hit a body and then switch to a primary and one shot, that doesn't take much skill especially with the aim assist in the game. I mainly use a sniper.

I think it's 100% fair, only thing is less fire rate because it is ridiculous right now

6 RepliesIf shotguns and fusions kill at optimum range with one shot, why should a sniper not be ble to two shot, if you miss the head? Bosdy shot damage is fine. If someone wants to use 2 bullets of special ammo for one kill, go for it. If someone wants to snope your body, swit h to a primary and finish your off, hey, why not use 1 special ammo and primary amml to do the job that o e or the other couldve done, without wasting a little of both. Why is this an issue for you?... Running out of things to bitch about?

Snipers need a huge nerf. They are way to easy to use.
-
Snipers need AA taken off or greatly reduced. I'm not a shotgunner I am a sniper. I snipe in every shooter I play and this game is by far the easiest. There is no weapon sway. Barely any recoil on a shot. Double body shots are too easy. Almost like a long range scout rifle. I'm not complaining because I get killed by snipers all the time I win most of my 1v1 snipe battles but I'm a realistic person and there definitely needs to be a change.

11 RepliesHigh impact snipers should kill from chest up atleast with 1 shot only. All other should be 2 to the body or 1 to the head.
-
Not OP. It's sniper rifle, if you get shot by it, it should hurt..... a lot.
-
1 ReplyNot op at all in my opinion.
-
No. Slow weapon swap times with a sniper (if anything). But, personally, I don't think they need an adjustment. Just buff all other specials.
-
2 RepliesIt's funny how no one ever complained about this through all these two years until now. Lol
-
I don't understand why ppl cry about snipers...let them live there's only 2-3 good pvp snipers in the 1st place sheesh

3 RepliesChanges that need to be made Increased flinch and unflinching buff to counter Descope if hit by hcr unless with unflinching Descope if aimed down sights for long periods of time Body shot damage severely reduced or cannot switch to primary for a period of time if hit
-
Agreed. Snipers are a high risk low reward PRECISION weapon. Yet are rewarded fpr body shots. 130 damage on a body for a 1kys archetype wouldnt break the game. Ot would just make people go for headshots
-
As a sniper main Bungie can make it as hard as possible without any complaints from me. Icebreaker still destroys as was using it in ironbanner. As soon as you stop hard scoping corners and push as if it was a shotgun, you'll realise hardscoping is the least of the problems.

2 RepliesIf most people cant play without their snipers, they aren't going to attack their weapon. What needs to happen is to totally get rid of aim assist. Then lets see what happens to the majority of the player base' "skill"

I only snipe in PvE, I sucked at it in PvP, and I have no problem with snipers as they are.

5 RepliesEdited by Bryan the Psion: 5/2/2016 2:53:04 AMOnce you have been shotted Also it doesn't have a faster time than switching to another weapon. It just depends on how quick you can re aim your sniper and how fast you can pull the trigger
-
3 RepliesIn all honesty, you should be using one round for one kill on [u]any[/u] special weapon. If you are using two sniper shots to get a kill, you are wasting ammo

1 ReplyBlinting is still annoying af

I one shotted someone once. Full health and all. That was pretty bullshit for me to get that kill.

16 RepliesEdited by Fox: 5/1/2016 10:40:49 PMPersonally, I think you should have to dump your mag in a guy to body shot him down (May vary depending on armour of said "guy") but one pop to the dome and they go down. It would certainly give high-tier snipers a way to stand out.
-
Looks like final rounders still relying on body shot hahahaha

5 RepliesI don't think I've gotten a single one shot sniper kill yet, and have had more success jousting with enemy players using Mida. Considering I've been sniped constantly in this IB, including in maps that you'd think we're CQB maps, I can't see snipers being reduced in use any time soon. I would agree that it takes more skill to one (head)shot a player, especially on the move. I also think that I see an awful lot of snipers in the Crucible.....

1 ReplyThe only thing I have a problem with tbh. The stability nerf didn't do anything.
