Hey all,
Cozmo and I are currently collecting some feedback on Sniper Rifles. We have been for some time, but we wanted to centralize the source of feedback to an extent.
Do you have feedback on Sniper Rifles? Are there any QOL style improvements that you'd want for this weapon archetype? What currently works well, and what would you want to see changed?
This does not guarantee any specific changes will be made, but we wanted to ensure your thoughts are properly represented when we pass feedback along to the team.
Quick note, Rapid Fire Sniper Rifles will be receiving a buff tomorrow. Currently, Guardians require 3 body shots to be defeated, tomorrow this will be reduced to 2 body shots. With that in mind, are there any other changes you'd like to see?
Cheers,

I get the sneaky suspicion that, even based on framing this thread on crucible body shots, Destiny is evolving into just a PvP game. I’d like to point out Fortnite and SW did the same thing, started completely in PvE then found money in creating (for better or worse) a Battleroyale and just said screw the narrative. Now, there is nothing wrong with that and it’s been great for players and developers. However, I don’t think Destiny was ever intended to be that sort of experience. So instead of a veiled question asking how we would like snipers balanced or enhanced, but changed to fight other guardians- why not be transparent in the reason for the question. Why would I care to recommend a sniper that can kill a huge boss better when what you really want is support for a sniper with creative TTK? Hence the absurdly easy and boring revival of the PvP craziness of the Last Word. What’s next? Icebreaker? Can’t be the mythoclast because that was the first gun nerfed because it threw off PvP and it would invite going back to square one and having this same thread 5 years from now...if you’re lucky.
