Oh and one last thing, I found out that if you kneel while looking through the scope the sniper will zoom in closer automatically. I don't know if any of the other snipers do that.

I don't like the zoom. It's way to "long range scope".

If you're a good sniper this thing will shine. I'm mediocre at sniping and I love it. 4 Headshots return the mag to full and headshots blind enemies. This gun is amazing.

I mostly play PvE and the way that I use a sniper in PvE is to kill majors and do high DPS to ultras. In that context Hereafter unfortunately falls flat compared to other snipers. Hereafter has very low damage but makes up for it with a 5x crit damage multiplier. Unfortunatley after you factor is the major and ultra crit damage reduction, it's crit damage is only inline with other snipers and it's non crit damage is way lower. The 4 shots 4 kills ability is also not well suited for killing majors and ultras, since you will likely need mutilple shots to kill any major, even tier one majors. The blinding explosion perk is great. When you do get a kill and it blinds all the enemies around it, you get a few easy kills afterwards. Though it doesn't always proc and likely you will only get 2 or 3 explosions for all the ammo you have in reserve (let's say 6 or 7 major kills). Given that its main abilities rely on using the sniper to kill trash mobs and that isn't how I use a sniper, the Hereafter is really no more than a novelty weapon or an acceptable sniper if you have no other exotic weapon or no other snipers (but likely its exotic perks will be of no use in high level gameplay). Now if they took the basic build of the Hereafter and made it into a scout rifle (8 out of 12 shots are precision kills) or a hand cannon (6 out of 8 shots are precision kills) then that would probably be the best exotic in the game. Currently though, it is like the Necrochasm of sniper rifles, it looks like a great set of abilities, for a completely different weapon type.

Highest aim assist in the game. Bring to pvp

Trolling with no account muting

Interesting perks but not good for bosses or raid bc perf. Needs crit kills not hits. And really low impact so low damage output. Recommend 1000 yard or even better the black spindle.

To be extremely honest. It all depends on you, the perks fully unlocked are awesome, you can Definetly use the perfectionist perk even if people say its crap. Plus the blinding light is extremely useful in both PVP, AND PVE, it slows down battle each time used. The sights are very good, and even the zooming in function is extremely useful. The only real "downside" to it is that it's a low-impact, high RoF sniper. Trust me, sometimes these snipers are better for the type of player you are. I personally ran the 20/20 AMR7. that gun SUCKS at killing, it won't even kill a warlock using ram with a headshot, yet, I was able to play the guns strengths, and I absolutely loved the weapon! Use it, try it for some time first, PRACTICE, even if it's only an hour, struggle with learning the weapon, then make the fate for it, if you don't like it, then hey, its always in the blueprint kiosk!

Haven't used it yet, but I've seen PlanetDestiny's review, and it looks like an awesome sniper rifle.
