Sniper damage buff pve
I feel snipers are underwhelming and out classed many other weapons. I believe a simple 10-15% buff, crit through element shields with the matching element, and finally a 5-10% buff on exotic snipers only. I used the iron banner sniper in saturdays lost sector in legend and master difficulty and by no means was I using a sniper “safely”, sitting in the back with one got me killed. But using it as quick fire precision damage is my go to. So this “if they’re strong it makes things to safe” is nonsense. I like to be rewarded for my aim rather punished like I do now.

3 RepliesEdited by Hawpy: 3/29/2023 11:27:54 PMThe ideal perk roll for a Sniper basically hasn't changed since random rolls were reintroduced. First column is something for ammo or reload, second is for a damage perk that doesn't require a kill. Even putting their lacklustre damage aside, they haven't coped well with the increased enemy density and haven't received any new perks that make them worth running in basically any situation. You see Fusion Rifles with Reservoir Burst or Chill Clip and GLs with Chain Reaction or Destabilizing Rounds; a God-roll Sniper with something like Overflow and Firing Line has essentially the same core as a Triple Tap and Vorpal one from 2019. Outside of Succession, which itself was mostly overshadowed by Heritage, there haven't been any Snipers worth farming for or crafting. Beyond all that, there are only [b]three[/b] Exotic Snipers that use special ammo. [i][b]Three![/b][/i] We haven't had a new Exotic Sniper since Cloudstrike in Season 12, and the other four Exotics all came within the first five seasons. Long overdue for a new one. Next season would be the perfect time to put a Sniper as the Dungeon Exotic, give the class some buffs and make it really worth chasing.

3 RepliesEdited by TheArtist: 3/30/2023 11:42:50 AMBungie likes to fight their own game. They constantly complain about how they don’t like passive play, and people hanging back at the edges of the map. Yet they keep making end-game content that severely punishes aggressive play. So yeah, snipers are practically useless. They are severely underpowered compared to what they were in D1….and the flinch makes them practically useless in pve. If you take ANY sort of incoming fire, the flicj makes it impossible to reliably aim. …and you’re constantly taking some kind of incoming fire in pve. So…..

Edited by Rogue: 3/30/2023 9:20:43 AMSnipers should share the same precision damage multiplier with linear fusion rifles.

I don’t understand why they always talk about how they’re afraid of players being able to be affective at long range, but they completely neuter glaives and melee builds. They don’t want want players sniping for dps but they’ll happily let linears be meta for a -blam!- year. They don’t want people being able to plink away at a bosses health from afar but they give every boss the same 10-year old stomp mechanic. Backwards logic.

1 Reply.....and all sniper crits act as anti-barrier rounds, 2 crits for Rapid Fire frame, and 1 crit for Adaptive and Aggressive in order to break a full barrier shield on master and above content.

2 RepliesAll weapons need buffs in pve and bungie already confirmed its coming next season.

Unfortunately bungie has spoken about snipers and their logic is, "you have the safety of distance." So it balances out them being weaker than shotguns and fusions. Unfortunately most encounters are made for close to mid range so the whole safety of distance logic goes out the window.

15 RepliesIF YOU DO NOT WANT SPOILERS DO NOT CLICK THIS PLEASE. DONT SAY I DIDNT WARN YOU. [spoiler]based on leaks, snipers are getting a 10% damage buff(not X4 honed edge I.E Izanagi) and rapid fires are getting a 50% recoil reduction and a 30% inventory increase[/spoiler]

Scouts having unlimited ammo is basically like having Ice Breaker but with weaker burst damage. That imo is what RUINS snipers right now. You might squeeze one in with an auto loading heavy for DPS, but outside of that? Scouts outperform because Unlimited ammo.

Edited by Seki: 3/29/2023 3:42:59 PMBack to the damage they used to have before being triple nerfed. And for the oh so precious balance decrease the damage scale against bosses so they arent the mandatory dmg meta.
