Snipers need a pve buff

Hello, Snipers could be a fun change of pace in pve. The issue is their damage output makes them unviable. A bow outputs 13k+ precision damage. A sniper outputs 25k+ precision damage with minimal ammo reserves. Bows are fine where they are. Please give snipers some love in pve with a much needed buff. I miss my Whisper of the Worm too.

  • Sadly Bungie doesn’t like us getting deeps in PvE as they’re intended….At Range. Bungo Logic

  • Agreed. I never see someone using a sniper. [b]Never[/b]. Not Gambit, not Strikes, Raids, nothing. Sometimes in PVP but in PVE it makes more sense to use a shotgun or fusion and most people do.

  • They did get one but they got nerfed because bungie logic. "Snipers are performing well but lets tone them done because you're using them at range" like what?

  • what bows are you using to where you think they need a PvE buff? I've made due with the ones I have, although none of them will compare to Revoker, there are some that came close, in particular Succession

  • Snipers need anti-barrier again, that was the most fun GM meta ever

  • I just wish you didn't get flinched into another dimension when you try to snipe in PvE while under fire from literally anything. Like, Lord have mercy, I've literally seen my screen turn sideways. People who complain about flinch in pvp have no idea what flinch is.

    Having a "Hand Canon" like AW that hits like a truck and matches any range is hilarious compared to a "sniper" that has a far reach of 70

  • Snipers are fine. High impact against snipers. Rapid fire frames for bosses. Darci and whisper do need a buff, but i think they're trying to ween us away from a sniper boss meta.

  • Snipers feel fine to me, I put on boss spec and it deals a hefty amount of damage. I cant speak for whisper of the worm, there are too many heavies that straight up deal far more damage without the need for headshots. Whisper cant even one shot body in crucible. Honestly the whisper and the darci should just move to the special slot, I don’t feel any sniper should be in the heavy slot. No one is going to use a sniper over a ghallorhorn or a sleeper, thats just a fact.

        Maybe if Bungie would stop nerfing everything in this game they might have been better off. Knowing how much they keep nerfing everything, they might as well stop calling our Guardian "Guardian" and call them what they actually are. [spoiler] A Pansy.[/spoiler]

      • Damage is definitely an issue with them right now, not to mention champion mods make them even more useless. The only time you can really use then is in easy strikes or crucible

      • All you have done with this post is hinted Bungie to nerf bows next time they run their nerf cycle.

      • Yeah they definitely need a lot of love. A lot of beautiful and good sniper this season. Currently it is either Breach GL or Fusion in my special slot. Or maybe glaive just because of that supressing glaive mod which also have been nerf in recent patch. Thoughtless will be nasty if it got like 10% damage pve buff.

        • I think a few snipers are okay where they are, but I wouldn’t turn down more damage 🤷🏻‍♂️. My biggest issue is the sniper flinch in PVE. In PVP it obviously needs to be there, but the flinch in PVE is egregious. I was using the new throne world sniper (Father’s Sins) to try to level it up. It’s very hard to use at long range (unless you craft a roll with high range) without things like Under Pressure or Opening Shot. The MASSIVE flinch this sniper gets in combination with the low aim assist (bullet magnetism specifically) puts the lid on this sniper’s coffin for me.

        • Like Infinite ammo for snipers Hint hint buff like primary weapons or all weapons that used to use white ammo blocks… May as well remove the requirement to use purple and green ammo blocks while we’re at it! Just imagine Xenophage with infinite ammo… definitely not broken

        • Worms still one of the highest damage exotics in the game. Provided you’re hitting every. Single. Crit. With whispered breathing up. Nothing wrong with high risk high reward. But imo the reward here needs to be increased because why not sleeper zap the boss for slightly less damage but much less effort for example.

        • Izi aside, I guess I haven’t seen anyone use a sniper outside of pvp in a long long time. Players equipping them to extract materials don’t count obviously.

          • All special weapons need a DPS buff. Why use a special for DPS when your heavies are so much better in general? Maybe give Machine Guns and Grenade Launchers a chance

            • Anti barrier sniper was one of the better feeling mods the artifact ever had; however that was pre-arbelist buff It would be nice for that mod to come back along with a damage bump against majors and bosses (maybe 10 percent) with a small ammo economy buff to make them competitive with linears Right now it’s very hard for anything to compete with reeds (triple tap firing line) or cataclysmic (4th time/focused fury) when they have no range penalties, generous aim assist/crit registration and huge ammo reserves
