Are Snipers fine being able to kill anyone at any range with no real negative repercussions? A shotgun is only effective at close ranges. A fusion rifle is to punish predictable players. While a sniper rifle can one shot at any range with no real downside or counter. Personally I believe snipers should either descope upon rapid precision hits (like halo but made for destiny), or have ready time similar to rockets. It use to be snipers are down the long range corners, but now they can be down any corner at any time. While also ruining the gameplay when everyone has a sniper and just sits back. Destiny is at its best when the gun fights are close or medium range.
