"We cannot aid the person who refuses to engage. There should be no reason we give more ammo to the person camping lanes and not engaging. Even if that is not how you snipe that is what the game will turn into if we gift snipers more ammo than everyone else. Shotgunners have to engage in order to kill" Engaging with a shotgun? Please, there is ZERO skill in "engaging". There are very little sightlines that can be exploited in the entire game that you can camp with a sniper. Shotguns dont engage, they ape. To engage would be to challenge a player at mid range with a primary. Not a sprint and press trigger. There was NEVER a time in which Snipers were the META in Destiny. At zero times per month did snipers have more kills than shotguns in D1. Snipers do however dont need to be easy, but why are shotguns so easy? Why try sniping, if shotgunning will allow the player the same overall efficiency with far less effort?

Never a sniper meta in destiny? You must not have played trials much in d1, those who used shotguns would just be picked off by the sniper campers and if you werent decent with a sniper well better luck next run

Okay Calico you're an experienced player. And I respect that. But I'm not vouching for players to sit back, camp lanes, and never move. If you see a guy hard scoping in the back, go around, slide around the corner, and flinch him before he can shot you. Make yourself a difficult Target to hit. If you're getting wrecked by a hardscoper in the back, I say this with good intentions, you're probably being predictable with your movement. The extra ammo and reduced flinch would be for players like myself who try to snipe aggressively but are getting punished for it simply because we don't have the ammo to continue even with sniper scavenger. And in regards to the last word. Smugglers word is already capable of three bursting people up close but it's not even possible to hit people from like 15 feet away or further which means your engagements are very limited if you have no sniper ammo. The last word could do that but with range falloff meaning outside of it's intended range it's not gonna kill very effectively but can kill if all or most of your shots connect. And when someone who's careless rushes straight toward you with no regard to being evasive at all and is in it's intended range it would be able to delete them if you had a good shot. And obviously it would be exotic so it would take your exotic slot as well.
