Destiny 2 Sniper Rifles are too weak in PVP

Moving from Destiny 1 to Destiny 2, i definitely believe that Bungie made the right decision in moving the Sniper rifles to a power weapon class. In D1 they were far too strong to be a secondary, infact i would often find myself skipping power ammo entirely because I was able to easily clean up kills with my secondary. In Destiny 2 however, I feel like the sniper rifles need a slight rework. Currently, there is absolutely no incentive to use one over a Fusion rifle or a Rocket Launcher, you put yourself at a significant disadvantage. Instead of asking for a damage buff, or a built in Aimbot, i'd instead request that the Scopes are reworked. As of right now, even the Short zoom scopes are so magnified for pvp maps that when I'm aiming down a corridor, i'm able to see the individual atoms that hold the enemy guardian together...The reason that this is an issue, is when you're in close-mid range while aiming down sights with a sniper, the target is able to move faster than you can drag your scope due to how the ADS Sensitivity works with high magnification. If we had a short zoom scope THAT WAS ACTUALLY SHORT ZOOM, and maybe a Variable Zoom scope for Specific legendary/exotic snipers (maybe for factions?) Sniper Rifles would then be put in a unique position as an all rounder in the power weapon slot that would benefit from a passive aggressive playstyle, and yet still be a skill based weapon. Just my 2cents, ~ VenoM

  • They are pretty useless in PvE much for the same reasons. Unlike D1, most encounters are at close range, too close for a sniper scope to really work. A scout rifle is much better. Kinda sad as I had some sniper rifles I loved in D1...

    • i don't care about damage , or scopes, get rid of the stupid wavy stuff your guardian does when you strafe, didn't need to be implemented.
