It seems a lot of people nowadays have been relying on the ShortGaze and LongView SLR10 scope. Granted, they've always been popular scopes. However, I'd like to take a moment to give credit to the underdog of the scopes world (at least for now), the Ambush SLH25. The Ambush SLH25 has an aim assistance stat of -25. Yes, indeed, this sniper scope takes away a good chunk of your aim assist. It has a magnification stat of 4.9x, which is relatively low-- the same amount of magnification as the ShortGaze SLH10. This scope may take away aim assist, but some would argue that's a good thing (I'd be in the same boat). It helps to teach you to really hit those headshots (as long as you don't have Hidden Hand to make up for some of the lost AA), and it's one of the best, if not [i]the[/i] best-handling sniper scope(s) in the game. I can't tell you how many drag-scopes I've gotten. Hell, I even get no-scopes with it sometimes (R.I.P, Bladedancer). This is part of the reason why I really hate on the ShortGaze scope, especially if it's paired with Hidden Hand and Snapshot/QuickDraw. It makes it extremely easy to hit headshots, despite the fact that ShortGaze no longer gives more AA. My thing is that it doesn't take any AWAY, either. Given that circumstance, since 1,000-Yard Stare is at a pretty solid 56 aim assist, pairing it with Hidden Hand brings it up to near 70, which is pretty high, all snipers considered. Am I screaming for a change to aim assist? No. Am I saying I automatically hate you if you happen to have a sniper with the mentioned perks/scopes? Absolutely not. I have a 1KYS similar to the mentioned combination, which I occasionally use in Trials (it's got Last Resort). I am, however, hoping to bring some more love to the Ambush scope and the low aim-assist lifestyle. I'd have less of a problem with this combination on sniper rifles if, A.) The aim assist wasn't quite what it is with the combination of perks, and B.) Sniper rifles flinched a bit more (unless they had Unflinching, which takes up the same spot as Hidden Hand). I don't know. I'm not exactly angry, but I am a bit disappointed that this is all I see nowadays. You'd think Bungie would make it seem worth it to use these scopes just a tad more. Oh, well. Tell me what all of you think. (Yes, I realize LongView SLR10 actually gives you aim assist. My thing with that scope is that it's quite a bit clunkier than ShortGaze or Ambush) Edit: Thank you to everyone who is supporting this post! To those that aren't, well... you're entitled to your opinions.
