The only other snipers of comparison are the Eirenne, Black Spindle and Stillpiercer. They are difficult to obtain. 1KS is like Hung Jury, the best money can buy! There is nothing wrong with any sniper or their availability, it's poor tactics and the lack of good countermeasures that leads to sniper preference now. Bungie has effectively reduced all other guns to mediocre, leaving snipers to stand out. I could shoot snipers with any gun before, now, I need a pulse, scout or sniper. Soon I will only be able to use a rocket. Then they will butcher snipers and we will start this again. It's a cycle caused by a belief that good guns should not exist. It's Destiny weapon balancing and a principal reason the forum remains strongly divided. They just can't leave weapons alone and fix the game first!
