Sniping In Destiny 2

Hello, I am heavily interested in Destiny 2 but I have some concerns that I hoped some more avid fans of the first game/those who participated in the D2 beta could appease. Sniping always was a very appealing aspect of destiny for me and I really wanted to use sniper rifles as my main weapon for PvP. I heard that sniper rifles got moved to the heavy weapon category and from what I've read, ammo for that specific category is sparse. Will this make sniper rifles as a main weapon in PvP obsolete? P.S. I was also wondering which class/subclass would be best suited for sniping. Thank you all and any feedback (facts, opinion, speculation, etc.) is appreciated. Edit: Seems like most people in this game have a bad taste in their mouths when it comes to snipers. I didn't realize that it was such a toxic topic as I have NOT played much of destiny 1 and I also don't know anything about it besides general info I've read up on the second game. Thank you to those who set aside my ignorance and actually gave me helpful responses.

  • 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.
