Sniper Rifle Aim assist is ridiculous
Okay so bungie have nerfed shotgun on 3 different occasions but the sniper rifle which basically lock on to an enemy behind a 4 foot block of concrete are still considered fair?
Edit: I regret this post.
Edit: Just so everyone know this is speaking from a snipers perspective all I'm saying is they seem a little off. Stop jumping to bloody assumptions. Jees

The waver on the scope should be more intense too. A sniper can tank two of my bursts to the head and then one shot me. It's kinda cheap, higher zooms (or rarer low zooms), decreased aim assist, and higher waver when taking hits while aiming down sights.
-
I actually do pretty well with low aim assist sniper
-
I think every weapon should shoot confetti.

2 RepliesYou're asking for a nerf (ambiguously, but still asking) on these forums. What did you expect? But seriously, when is everyone going to realize Destiny PvP will always drive you insane and you should go somewhere else for multiplayer.
-
1 ReplyKinda true. I think a better answer is to make them flinch more. It's extremely common to still nail a headshot while taking damage.
-
Agreed, way to easy to snipe in this game. Kind of unbelievable that extra aim assist is a perk.
-
I just hate how easy it is to snipe...the 1000 Yard Auto Aim is the most popular :/

Edited by TheGodAmongMen: 10/19/2015 4:14:04 PMAim assist in general is way too high... I would cut it in half across the board(every weapon type).
-
Quick scoping shot gunners is the best feeling.
-
I agree. Having my aim ruined by a derpy shotgunner walking into my bullet and making my 100 yard headshot turn into a 5 foot headshot is annoying for me and humiliating for the derpgunner.

4 RepliesIf this post makes most of the snipers in destiny (the few that are left) switch to a shotgun, I'm going to punch you in the throat. [spoiler]Shotguns are literally the easiest and most unskilled weapon to use in pvp[/spoiler]

Edited by The 75th Zebra: 10/19/2015 1:52:33 PMI remember when you posted this a while ago, all 3 of your characters had shotguns lol. Let me check again. Now he only has 1 shotgun :(

11 RepliesAs an actual hardcore sniper (13,500 pvp sniper kills), I can safely say that sniping only requires a nerf when you can kill someone with full health with a body shot. I also have 3000 shotgun kills in pvp and whenever I use them it is apparent that it does not take much skill to kill people, but does require a large amount of map knowledge and movement ability to get more than 1 kill per death. However the best way to see if a gun type is overpowered is to just look at all the players in a match and just look at what is most used. In 6 v 6 is usually 80% shotguns, and occasionally snipers become the majority in 3 v 3. But I would like to know other perspectives on this.

3 RepliesAim assist makes a shot nearly impossible sometime. But, it's not god's work or whatever.

2 RepliesSo I'm a hardcore sniper, 2000+ kills, maybe 100 or less with a shotgun. So I went on my warlock the other day and he had three weapons and I was to lazy transfer others over. He had: raid hand cannon, invective, and a launcher. So I went into the daily salvage. With the shotgun alone I got 24kills and ended up with 30+. Shotguns are for scrubs. Good god that was so freaking easy. That game was enough to prove my point to me that it takes absolutely no skill to bum rush people around corners and blind fire at them. There is none of that "aww you can't handle cqc so you have to sit in the back" bullshit. It was literally the easiest thing I have ever done in this game it was disgusting.

4 RepliesI don't quite understand why all the snipers have varying Aim Assist that's so high. You're supposed to be rewarded with a insta kill because you actually made a decent shot, but people using the snipers are barely aiming, the computer just sticks the reticle to their head.
-
Go play CsGo.

6 RepliesEdited by iRideT9: 10/17/2015 10:42:23 PMI got killed by a shotgun because i ran into a guy running around with a shotgun. Please nerf shotguns I got killed by a sniper because i stood out in the open too long. Please nerf snipers I got killed by a fusion rifle because i stood in front of him for 3 seconds while he charged. Please nerf fusion riffles [spoiler]see what i did there?[/spoiler] [spoiler]learn from your mistakes instead of looking for nerfs[/spoiler]

You make a idiotic post and get mad when people call you out on your bs? Get guud.
-
I'm only bothered by it when they can peg me in the skull while I am peppering theirs with my pulse rifle.

3 RepliesI used to be bad at sniping, then I started using 1000 yard stare.
-
Look at my 1000y sniper on my lock... i got a pretty lucky roll!!
-
31 Replies4500 sniper kills & 8300 shotgun kills yet you say "sniper's perspective". But he must snipe in pvp right? 161 sniper kills & 1201 shotgun kills. Whose "sniper perspective" are you speaking from because yours is tragically invalid.
-
4 RepliesUse stillpeircer. That's a gentleman's rifle. I think theirs very little aim assist.
-
I use Stillpiecer and I seem to feel much more comfortable and rewarded when using it. But still you shouldn't be complaining since in comparison, shotguns are way easier to use. It's only now that snipers are gaining more fame since the "Short-Gaze+Hidden Hand" combination started becoming a popular choice for noobs who can't aim after House of Wolves.
