What kind of sniper are you?
I prefer to snipe from a stationary position. At targets that are usually slow-moving and clustered together.
So I prefer slow-firing, high-impact rifles. I'm a menace on Shores of Time during IB with my Ice Breaker.
Headshot? Clean kill. Body shot? If your less than lvl 32 in IB, your still dead. If your lvl 32 or regular Crucible, you'll survive...barely. But you'll be more concerned with finding cover instead of hunting me down.
If you want to be more mobile, hit faster moving targets, or lack confidence in your ability to headshot go with one with lower impact and a faster fire rate. They usually have higher stability so you can put more fire down range with accuracy.

Also, any recommendation on good primaries to run with a sniper?

Gheleon's Demise. It has a Hard hit and is a master of all ranges.

Edited by kellygreen45: 5/6/2015 6:07:33 PMGhelion's is an awesome weapon, and it was my instinctive first choice. But the problem is it's slow fire rate can leave you vulnerable. If you prefer a scout rifle I'd pick Mida Multi-tool instead. It has the range to reach across the map like Ghelions....but its fast fire rate and ability to stagger targets can stop a charging opponent and save your life.

Any good hand cannon. You need a weapon that will kill quickly, at short range, when your position has been found. Dealers choice as to which one.

Thanks again

Thanks, I haven't done that much sniping yet, but I want to be pretty versatile with it, I figure it's a better option than fusion rifling when trials of Osiris come, if I can get good (that being said, I am a big fan of my plug.one).
