Im a little perplexed by what you mean by using a sniper as your main weapon.. This is not likely in D2 PvP since snipers are a power weapon, and power ammo only comes up every minute or so, and only one person gets the power ammo. I also feel that PvP moved so differently in D2 then in D1, it is hard to snipe.. I did not try, since I found it silly.. and I hate snipers from all the lane camping bull shittery in D1. The map in the beta I felt didnt cater well to sniping anyhow.. It was smaller, and I felt the game play moved very fast on such a small map. There will be other maps and game modes, so I can not say if sniping will play better on other maps and in other game modes.. But then again, there is the issue of someone wanting to primarily snipe and trying to hog and waste the power ammo on sniping. So Id say no to sniping and try using a primary.

  • sniping is a very common weapon with a specific playstyle. now it's only close quarters combat. literally every shooter has snipers. sharpshooters are sharpshooters because they are good at sniping, and now bungie says get good at corner camping with a shotgun, because snipers are too op. they're not op, they're just a lot of fun, that's why so many people take the time to get good at sniping. Destiny was one of my most played games during the first two years, but now I won't buy d2 because they care more about balancing more than they care about people liking their game

  • I think what he meant was he just wants to use a No Land Beyond, I'm the same way. After getting good with No Land Beyond every other weapon in destiny just feels boring

  • Well there is a vendor at the farm who is holding one, I'm pretty sure we will get it back. Just like how shaxx is holding our raze lighter right now there will probably be a quest down the road where we get raze lighter and hopefully no land beyond again. I wouldn't think bungie would just put those weapons out there just to flip the bird at us in a subtle way.

  • Nope. The NPC has it like Cayde has the ace of spades.. that is just their weapon. No guns from D1 are being moved over to D2, especially ammo breaking weapons such as the no land, ice breaker or invective. Also.. we are talking about bungie here.. as to the raze lighter, like I said, that is just that characters weapon. We will have so many other weapons, and swords to get and try. Id be disappointed if bungie brought over any weapons from D1. I want new.

Besides, you dont even know if anything from D1 is moving forward or not. Bungie hasn't even mentioned much about the possibility. Also, Raze Lighter is not Shaxx's weapon.

  • The fact of the matter is that we don't know what guns will be in the game or not. It's possible that they'll have it available. Whether it'll be a primary weapon or a power weapon is another matter. So yes, we'll see.

  • I had an ideal vision of being able to just be a sniper in PvP. I'm very ignorant how the game works and I don't have any knowledge on how PvP works in destiny let alone ammo so I was just curious if being a sniper in PvP was going to be a viable option in Destiny 2. I didn't mean to sound like I knew anything about the game or how it works, sorry haha. Thanks for your feedback though I'm pretty sure you answered my question.

  • Im sorry if that sounded snippy.. I just have PTSD from snipers in D1. D1 is easier to snipe in, even with how the special ammo is. If you did not know, in D1 special ammo does not carry over when you die, and the ammo boxes can sometimes be hard to get to with everyone hording ammo. D1 is more a nightmare these days with ice breaker (an exotic sniper that re-gens ammo) and side arms. Not to mention the primary sniper the No land Beyond, so that sniper always has ammo since its in the primary slot. D2 played very different, since the sniper is in the power slot, and as I said, power ammo comes up only every minute or so, and only one person gets the power ammo. So no, sniping primarily in D2 PvP would not be possible.

  • No worries!! I appreciate your feedback, it's been really helpful. It's a shame to know that sniping is nightmarish in D1. I hope they find a way to integrate sniping into D2 in the future without creating the same result as D1.

  • Im glad I could be helpful to you. I hope so as well, since I do know alot of people enjoy sniping. I do from time to time.
