The mark of a true sniper
What's up guys? So I was cruising through destiny tracker looking at my stats and what not, and came across my sniper kills. Upon further inspection, I started to look at the percentage of kills I have with it that came via headshot. I use a longbow in pvp and am sitting at about 65% precision kills. The best snipers on the leader boards have about 75% or a little higher.
So, what is your percentage? What sniper do you use? What makes a good sniper in general?
Discuss.
Edit: lots of love for the longbow and prudence (PR too of course). Highest so far is 79% although I haven't checked if that's legit or not. Keep the discussion going guardians!
Edit 2: We made it on the trending page, something one of my posts have never accomplished before. I thank you all for the quality of discussion, as well as the respect being shown for everyone (no hate!). I'm trying to respond to everything so I apologize if I miss you! :)
Edit 3: I got drunk and failed to answer a lot of you guys, but I appreciate the input! It's the cons of being a college student lol, keep it up guys! Still seeing a lot of love for the longbow, could it be the best sniper?? I think so, keep discussing though! :)
Edit 4:[b]use destiny tracker to find precision ratio. The stats found on this app include pve, which is something we are not concerned with for this discussion.[/b]
Last edit: (used to be about finding a ToO team, accomplished by now.) Now, I have a random question for anyone who may know... [b]What does the "hidden hand" perk actually do? I assume it increases aim assist, but I can't find any info as to how much... If anyone has some definitive answers, it would be greatly appreciated!![/b]

Edited by Garvhoz: 4/25/2015 10:06:44 PMI have 1338 (one over 1337) And 80% precision Not much sniper rifle use cause I prefer mid to large sized maps to use a sniper like the ones found in Combined Arms. Then again the stat could be wrong and I might be looking at the wrong Grimoire card Edit It's actually 70% on destiny tracker. Still good though

Oooo. Accurate!

2 RepliesEdited by iZnth: 4/25/2015 7:01:40 PMI'm shit at sniping (which is why I'm doing it a crapload now to improve), so merely a 60%. LDR, btw. Would love a Longbow with the same perks as my main LDR though. That class leading aim assist would help out greatly.

1 ReplyNever even knew that was a stay lol sitting at 68.8% but that's with a lot of crucible time in and a lot of sniper use so I'm happy with that for sure :) longbow synthesis all the way
