So many times I'll get 2 bursts or headshots in a row n still get domed...even w my jade rabbit, which is the highest impact scout
Only way to really kill snipers is a shotgun, teamshot, or chuck grenade to get them off scope...
It's so frustrating...almost wanna just ignore them cause they have no mechanic that makes them challenging to use...
I would snipe but shotgunning is too fun...I still snipe sometimes tho....
It's hilarious that some people say they don't flinch much and some say they do lol....snipers barely flinch...thank u
Most players that say stop complaining or get mad at post have a sniper equipped on all 3 charecters...players that only snipe will say or do anything for there sniper to stay unnerfed...they only got 1 super mini nerf to AA, ammo, n zoom
Edit-
Shotguns have to deal w sprint lock, increased equip time, increased ready weapon time, removed shot package, nerfed damage n range over n over, have to maneuver n get in point blank range to kill....
Snipers have high AA, zoom is still low, no sway, no descope, little flinch, scope in quick, switch weapons quick, as easy to snipe from far, medium, n close/medium range, body shot damage is 167 to 181 which leaves u w 20 to 30 hp roughly (this doesn't reward headshots-it's like oh well I missed my headshot, I'll just switch to primary n 1 bullet kill u)
What mechanic to snipers have that make them hard to use? Any other fps have something to make them a little challenging to use. When primary weapons damage, range, accuracy, perks all got nerfed snipers really have no threat...
*******Year 1 snipers would get 2 pieced by thorn, hawkmoon, red death, etc so flinch didn't matter...n weapons had so much more range n the damage fall off is huge now...but now that guns 3 to 4 shot mostly n have less range n accuracy snipers have more time to react n line up headshot and or take cover....again, when weapons use to 2 shot I never noticed or cared about little flinch but now I notice it since primary weapons got wrecked...it gives snipers so much of an advantage n makes snipers so much harder to kill*******
Edit since new patch....
Seems like destiny agreed w me...
Snipers that hardscope will be mad
Snipers that are aggressive n scope in n shoot quickly after will still wreck....
But if u hardscope for long period of time u will get blasted in ur face n will get flinched...
