Here is my idea. I am not 100% sure that this could work:
1- Give snipers a buff to reduce flinch, ads time and handling(on high impacts)
2- give snipers 3 shots when spawning.
3- give snipers more ammo on pickup.
Let me explain. So the reason that shotguns are so good is because they guarantee a kill unless you are really bad. But with snipers, if you miss you die and if you body it doesn’t kill him. So giving them a buff would make them more viable and adding more ammo when spawning would make them a better option on a tactical level. If you get more ammo when spawning, you can get more kills than with a shotgun on a competitive level. So high level snipers would get more kills than shotguners because of the extra ammo.
Edit-I am going to move this post to balance.

5 RepliesNo. All you'd be doing is switching to a sniper meta. Nice try slipping this in though.

[quote]How to fix shotgun meta without a nerf.[/quote] 1. Stand out in the open with a Pulse Rifle. 2. Be polite after mowing down a tryhard shotty rusher. 3. What do you mean there is no 'open' on these maps? 4. Well no wonder nobody uses long range weapons...

2 RepliesEdited by Forest: 11/27/2018 10:44:58 PMOr just suck it up admit shotguns need a nerf and have full choke removed from them ? People keep saying bigger maps but problem is look at Equinox. Half the time all any one does on that map is base camp and spawn camp with scouts and snipers. Trading one problem for another isn't a fix.

8 RepliesBuild bigger maps with fewer blind corners and chokepoints. Like we had in Year 2 of Destiny 1.

All they need to do is build bigger maps. That is a long term solution. At the moment, there is no short term solutions other bringing back Special ammo wall pickups

Or.....make bigger maps. But hey...we can keep the small maps too. Sure they remind ya of your Halo days but hey...….whatever. . Give SMGs some love. They and fusions are like the perfect counters for shotties…..increase their range a tad. no damage buffs needed....maybe give them faster handling speed too. Snipers are largely ignored...in both PvP and PvE. They need some loving too.

1 ReplyGood ideas, save for the fact that the crucibabies will always call for nerfs on anything and everything.

8 RepliesI can agree snipers could use a bit of love but fusions really don’t. They’re a sleeper in the meta and the second anything happens to shotguns fusions with rise and frankly telesto is annoying enough as is, most obnoxious gun to play against with how overpowered its projectiles are

Why not just say "Bungie buff Snipers"? Because that's about all you said with all of that text.

5 RepliesThree buffs to the instakill weapon, with simply more range for fusions? It seems like you just want the return of the sniper meta, especially with #1 - flinch is what balances snipers against kinetics. My fix to the shotgun meta? Stop sprint when taking damage from the front.

1 ReplyTrace Rifles need more ammo on pickup as well.

2 RepliesEXTREMELY unpopular opinion: Just remove slide from the game. Problem solved. (I don't actually want this, but damn you have to admit it would solve the shotgun problem real fast)

Fusions already have massive range. People simply need a good roll on them.
