With the December nerfs incoming, Sniper Rifles need a rebalance
Nerfing the 2 most reliable counters to sniper rifles, notably shotguns and Pulse Rifles, will make it as such that Snipers will have an overbearing map presence.
Sniper rifles will need to have new mechanics added to compensate for that.
Be it descoping when getting shot (you know, like this one unknown and irrelevant shooter does for decades now. I think they call it Halo), having innate sway and forcing you to hold your breath or something similar. Massively increased zoom sizes across the board and the removal of the 0.5x scopes could be another option as well.
Nerfing PRs will have a net increase of TTK as a consequence. Giving snipers even more time to get a kill, even though they messed up.
This gets worse, given the fact that PRs now will have significant damage drop off as well. Significant as in, finally noticeable.
Auto Rifles will not be in a state to compete with Snipers given the numbers, and the only semi reliable (the rest was unusable) Handcannon to do so, the Hawkmoon, will get a huge nerf to the range and lucky bullets.
I absolutely see nothing that would allow primaries to meaningfully compete with sniper rifles, when the next round of nerfs come in December.
So I basically demand Bungie to be proactive and nerf sniper rifles or add mechanics in advance that will help to balance them, instead of waiting until March to nerf them into oblivion.

I just think they need to be brought more in to the long range category. Sniping is still fun. Better than running around with a shotty. IMO.

There are many decent scout rifles out such as Tlaloc which will easily take down a sniper. Or wait for Hard Light to come out, with the auto rifle beef and no range drop off, it'll be epic

3 AntwortenAren't you forgetting about scout rifles? You know, the primary that is supposed to have the best accuracy at a range? I don't see why they wouldn't be of use.

Scout rifles

1 AntwortenI guess you forgot about Scouts and Sidearms. Judging by your post, you primarily played with PRs and SGs, and now feel you have no way to counter snipers. Evolve with the game man. My combo is doing just fine and you'd be amazed T what HC rounds can do to a snipers aim!

Lol in every fps game sniping is one shot to the head.
-
Anyone saying that snipers are fine has no idea how a game is supposed to be balanced. I guess you're just too used to freaking out when hearing the word nerf.

1 AntwortenDude no thanks no more nerfs

Omg please stop-____-

2 AntwortenAny sniper know which of explosive rounds or high calibers on a scout, causes most flinch and annoyance?

2 Antworteni really wish this wasn't how the community turned out.

Best thing they could do is leave shotguns and snipers as they are, improve fusion rifles and side arms to make them viable, then make special ammo much harder to come by. The idea of a special weapon is it gets used in special circumstances, way too many people main a special and that should not be the case. Fusion, sniper, shotgun, they all should be one shot kills, they should have a time and a place, which should not be every time and every place.

2 AntwortenI think the hole flinch thing is a problem because I shoot snipers and then they still just headshot me. I have an unflinching sniper and it barley moves when I get shot. Yes I suck at sniping so what

Use a scout rifle if it bothers you.
-
I'm gonna main a sniper. Special grasp of Malok or necro. I'm not even a good sniper. Go bungie!
-
7 AntwortenYou know in call of duty a sniper one shots from the torso and up. In destiny you have to actually get a headshot. So I don't think they should be nerfed it actually takes skill
-
Stopped reading after like the first 5 words.... false snipers are the best counter for snipers, next best thing is a scout rifle. Those are the 2 most reliable.

8 AntwortenAll they need to do to snipers right now is lower the aim assist a lot

Ahem MIDA

3 AntwortenLolol. Go ahead nerf scope zoom. You will still get domed by my no land beyond...

2 AntwortenI like the idea of the breath hold

2 AntwortenGet over it that's what snipers are for being able to get kills the farthest away that's the point
