[b][u]Now that i have your attention.....[/u][/b]one of my previously created threads received a lot of mixed replies but mostly negative due to misinterpretation of my wording, so I'm going to try and be as clear as possible this time round. [i]The whole point of this one is just to gain a consensus on what a player does after receiving a sniper and seeing its perks, what are the factors that either make you keep it or dismantle it? [/i] So for me, the first deciding factor is scope. I am willing to use any mid to low zoom scope as I personally just can't stand high zoom ones for they feel heavy and clunky in game. And this goes all the way back to year 1 when I fell in love with the VoG sniper & that Ambush scope. Now I know the optimal scope everyone goes for is ShortGaze but to be honest I feel like Ambush has a better feel to it. Does that mean I won't use one without it? No, cause if the rest of the perks are beneficial then I will settle with that scope cause its low zoom. Now don't get me wrong we all have our own personal preference and it took a lot of trial and error initially for me to figure out what scopes I like, well that & Praedayths(sp.?)<3. Now second deciding factor for me are the two main perks available on the sniper. First and foremost I absolutely love having Firefly on my snipers, cause who doesn't love that little explosion on precision kills? Am I right? So if I see that I automatically have my fingers crossed in the hopes that everything else will fall in place so I can keep it. So now that leaves me with one remaining perk and to be honest it doesn't really bother me what it is as long as it benefits my play style or character. So since I only have a lock I try and go for Army of One if I can but there are various others that I don't mind either. As for the middle tree or one with three options, this may be the last deciding factor for me when looking at a sniper but it's ultimately "the deciding factor" whether it gets dismantled or infused. There are quite a few good perks I will look out for as in armor piercing rounds, snapshot, quickdraw, hand laid stock, injection mold, and just for shits and giggles if there is explosive rounds. But these are just some I prefer and everyone else's opinion is different. So that being said.... What makes you keep a sniper? What scopes do you look for? What perks do you look for? What will make you dismantle or make it infusion material? All opinions & views welcome. [b]Edit:[/b] [quote]Nobody has any say? Do threads have to be negative to gain attention?
