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.

  • To weigh in, I've never considered any one class to be better suited for sniper rifles than the others. Taking abilities into consideration, I would imagine the Titan to having a possible advantage with the deployable cover. A player using the Titan could potentially move into an open area and deploy half-cover to use in combination with the sniper rifle. * Power weapon ammo will not be scarce in PvE activities. This was an issue that was already rectified.
