Should snipers do less body shot damage?
(Pvp only)
Snipers are precision weapons(stated by bungie themselves a while back)
Why does a 1kys archetype do 167 damage on a body shot and leave you extremely weak?. Why is a low risk precision weapon so rewarding on body shots?
Its a Low risk high reward weapon and this formula allows it to be used at almost any range.
These new noobs think they are crucible gods by Just going for a quick body shot and finishing with a primary . That is one of the scubbiest moves i know.
Im all for it. Good players who get headshots wont mind this change.
Would bring a bit more balance to the crucible.
Btw this is just for medium- high impact snipers. Maybe 145 damage for black spindle archetype and 125 for 1kys archetype
This would be my solution to curbing sniper usage. It is not balanced when someone who mains a sniper has the same if not a quicker time to kill by body shotting THEN SWITCHING WEAPONS compared to someone using their primary in its optimum scenario.-hybridtheory
Nlb is of course excluded ;)

1 ReplyThey should make a sniper scope that doesn't have zoom you'll be crying more

2 RepliesWhy do people literally whine about everything in this game... This has been getting ridiculous. The reason snipers are getting this attention now is because people have nerf bashed the other secondaries.

InB4TitleCha- Oh dammit, this isn't offtopic. Make or take jokes here.

People are seriously saying no.. Why are people saying no..

7 RepliesI despise snipers and I say no. The only problem with snipers is the ease of use, they shouldn't be as versatile as what they are at the moment, people can use them at all ranges and that's not how they should be used, damage does not need a nerf. Snipers need something that makes them more difficult to use in general.

11 RepliesStand in front of a 50 cal and tell the guy aiming to just shoot you in the leg. Then you will have your answer

I agree. Everyone voting "no" are just big -blam!-ing noobs.

Snipers are fine. The problems is that it's become a penalty to Self Rez and use your Super for nothing, or to revive your team to be farmed...

1 ReplyThis would be my solution to curbing sniper usage. It is not balanced when someone who mains a sniper has the same if not a quicker time to kill by body shotting THEN SWITCHING WEAPONS compared to someone using their primary in its optimum scenario. I know that when I use a shotty if my first shot isn't an insta-kill then I deserve to lose the gunfight. The same doesn't seem to apply to snipers at medium range.
-
What is going on guys, nkuch here and today. I can't agree with your post because I won't get a single kill in the next tourney and pretend I'm actually t1 without body shotting and 1 tapping enemies with tlw
-
3 RepliesSnipers are supposed to do massive damage. So do shotguns at close range but any shotty range is too far to be possible.
-
4 RepliesHrof snipers should do less body I think. They are pretty much 2 shot kill scout rifles, People always trash body shot kills but a kill is a kill in my book most of the time, however if you INTENTIONALLY only aim for the body, I can't respect that. Please understand this is just MY opinion and is no way fact.
-
3 Replies3 body shot kills would certainly russle the jimmies
-
4 RepliesYou should have left it at precision weapon. Calling people noobs is not the way to get people on your side. I agree that high impact snipers do a little too much damage but the real issue isn't sniping, it's the overall badness of Legendary primaries who aren't able to compete AND not fun to use.

2 RepliesIn mst FPS games, snipers are going to be 1-2 shot kills even in the body, so don't expect Destiny to ever change that much. There just needs to be more flinching or severely reduced accuracy/AA when getting hit. When I'm smacking you in the face with a scout you shouldn't be able to pull off headshots so quickly and with ease. Also reduce AA. We know how to aim a gun and don't need bullets to curve for us Destiny, thank you very much.
-
3 RepliesLow fire rate snipers fire awfully fast when compared to highest rate of fire snipers. They need to widen the gap more than reduce body shot damage
-
3 RepliesNo. A sniper isn't meant to be weak. Instead, make there be more of a delay between switching weapons after taking a shot with a sniper. The higher the impact - the longer the delay
-
You have got to be kidding right ! Now I myself am not a fan of the whole sniping genre that has been in FPS games since Golden Eye and Perfect-DR. The reason why I'm bring those games up is because, those were my very first games I've experience as FPS and then it was Battlefield then Halo. I have always been fan of the R-Launches in any given FPS Game but Nerfing a sniper rifle come on. Man. Even I'm against that. :)
-
2 RepliesNot so much. They should be harder to shoot while under fire. You know Descope or a harder flich or something.
-
It should stay the way it is right now.
-
Meh its w/e and does not bother me.
-
5 RepliesSniping is not all that fun.
-
1 ReplyI only say sure why not because I see this combo too often. *purposely lands body shot flips last word and kills in 1 hit*
-
Not surprised NO is in the lead. I hope Bungie add something so when snipers get hit they lose scope and drop motes and glimmer on the ground around them LOL
