Sniper Flinch Nonexistent

I see people complain about sniper flinch being too high but I am CONSTANTLY getting shot through flinch. I've come to deal with all the complete nonsense involved in snipers in destiny but I'll never be able to wrap my brain around why in any plain of existence it is even fathomably possible to get a sniper headshot through flinch. I hit you while you're scoped; that's it. You should be looking at the sky. It's gotten to the point where I don't know what to do in the slightest. They literally have 0 work arounds.

  • Honestly snipers shouldnt have flinch to begin with. However, they should also have near non existent Aim Assist... think halo

    • It’s the aim assist or bullet magnetism in game... I’ve hit so many shots on PC that I shouldn’t have landed and still the game counted it as a headshot lmao :’D.

        There are literally perks that reduce flinch, improve stability, and grants extra aim assistance. What exactly are people expecting?

      • Their are weapon and armor perks that can greatly reduce flinch when aiming a sniper. So....

      • I'm a sniper and it's fine the way it is. People who cry about the flinch are the same people who use a sniper like a scout rifle. It's not ideal for that situation.

      • Thats why they are still complaining. They want it completely broken, not balanced. They’ve been in a great spot since forsaken. I

        • I’ve been complaining bout this non-stop and I never seem to get any answers. I shoot someone they never get flinch but when I’m being shot at I can’t aim worth shit. Before Shadowkeep I had enhanced unflinching sniper aim and it never worked

          • Revoker sometimes hits snipes not 9n the head and sometimes you'll get white numbers and get a headshot. It's amazing how broken revoker is with the lack of flinch and crazy bullet magnetism.

          • Agreed. Many times I put a couple ace shots into a person and they still snipe my head off. However, it's just people that use revoker. Given that people that use revoker are body shot kings, flinch only puts their shot at my head is what I'm guessing.

            There's a trick, if the sniper aims at the body and gets shot, the scope jumps right to the head. It's still insanely stupid, if I hit you with a high cal round, or explosive payload or anything like that it should be impossible to snipe my head off. I've even been sniped in the head by a guy I was hitting with a stormtrance

          • No distractions is on plenty of snipers now,. It’s a fun perk with a good roll. Wish I could get both a apostle with rangefinder and no distractions and a tranquility with snapshot and no distractions. Haven’t had any luck though...

          • Good snipers can headshot you even while flinching because the reticle resets to your head briefly during the flinch.

          • Probably using Beloved with no distractions and enhanced sniper aim, even high cal rounds nothing to that
