When are sniper rifles getting increased flinch and descope on headshots?
I've seen a couple of posts saying that with the April update, when using a sniper rifle under fire we'll experience increased flinch and complete descoping on head shots.
I haven't been able to find the source. Can anybody confirm and link? Thanks!

Edit 1: While I agree with these changes to sniper rifles, this is not a nerf post. I'm just wondering whether anyone can confirm wht I read.
Edit 2: Changes are suggested for sniper rifles in PvP only.
Edit 3: For those of you against de-scoping when you are SHOT IN THE -blam!-ING HEAD while ADS, um, can you make a good argument for why de-scoping when headshot shouldn't be implemented?
Edit 4: For you sniper kids who can't help but lead with insults, you'll get nothing but a "-blam!- you troll" from me. If you want to have a discussion, act like an adult.

Sniping in pvp ruins it for me. I'll come back when they're nerfed to oblivion. They're fine in PVE but Trials and pvp are a joke.
-
Upon seeing the those patch notes, I'll come back to Destiny immediately for PVP. Hell, any movement towards making primary weapons more usable will be a gesture I'll accept, so I would be happy with greater flinch from high impact weapons.

3 RepliesGetting shot should de-scope your view. Can't see a reason why it shouldn't.
-
8 RepliesNot even a nerf post and all the salt. They really can't handle their crutch weapons discussed negatively can they?
-
3 RepliesDecreased body shot damage as well.
-
Just add a new stat to sniper rifles called Heft. Long guns are heavy and awkward to move around which makes them slow to aim.
-
please god tell me thats confirmed. I can go back to playing crucible again

3 RepliesJust like every nerf it will hit us in pve as well and will destroy pve snipers, also if it was so easy to use one why does your stats show that you suck with them, you make it seem so easy to use ok then, give me a montage of you using a sniper and we will see how easy they are to use, when you have trouble landing a single hit for each clip you will know why they are balanced...

3 Replies[quote]Edit 2: Changes are suggested for sniper rifles in PvP only.[/quote] Anyone who has been around for a while knows that isn't how they do things. Any changes will be consistent across game modes, because Bungie. [quote]Edit 3: For those of you against de-scoping when you are SHOT IN THE -blam!-ING HEAD while ADS, um, can you make a good argument for why de-scoping when headshot shouldn't be implemented?[/quote] Because it will absolutely destroy sniping in PvE. See previous point. I know you're going to argue that they should just segregate PvP and PvE, in spite of the evidence that they will never do that. In fact, for all the times it's been asked outright, and all the times (like here) it's been asked by implication, Cosmo won't even put it on the Community Wish List.

1 ReplyI'm all for adding crazy flinch and descope to any damage taken. If people want to be called a "real" sniper. You should not be seen before your first shot. So if you're getting hit, you're doing something wrong.

I hope they do change the ads when taking damage, it's stupid not being taken out of ads when taking damage.

1 ReplyWhen are u going to change your tampoon? Don't want to get toxic shock syndrome

1 ReplyNever because they do not need a nerf, shotguns fusions and sidearms need a buff
-
3 RepliesI think we should take all guns out of the game, fight with valentines emotes and hug everyone to death I hope to see a good exotic pillow in the future
-
3 RepliesNo for nerfs I think we had enough First it started with Vex then it went to other primaries and then shotguns multiple times and fusions were destroyed ((to this day)) even Rockets were nerfed a heavy weapon and they didn't stop there they moved to class abilities. I think we had enough.
-
4 RepliesDon't add descope because it'll affect pve and what happens if I'm tryin to snipe res and I get shot? I have to descope?? So how else am I supposed to stop someone from getting a quick revive? There's no other reliable way. Don't make all specials trash just buff the other ones. Cuz if they ruin sniping now honestly I'm done with the game
-
5 RepliesPersonally I think they need to increase the amount of time it takes to get into the scope to like 3 seconds plus make no scope ing impossible.
-
2 RepliesI disagree with these nerfs for a few reasons, first off, if we are going to have a descope on headshot we also need very good hipfire accuracy, also with the amount of movement happening in destiny u need to have the amount of flinch they have now to get headshots. I believe the solution to this problem is not a nerf, but a buff to primaries to make them contend-able with special weapons
-
92 RepliesThere is no source for this other than speculation. A lot of players have requested, increased flinch, decreased ammo, decreased auto aim, descoping, barrel sway, and other things to reduce the effectiveness of sniping. Nothing has been confirmed yet, but we will give you more details on Sandbox updates on April 6th.

10 RepliesI have a good argument. Its a sci-fi fantasy game and the ttk is not like halo

41 RepliesEdited by Hope: 3/22/2016 4:16:29 PMLOL SHOW ME THE PEOPLE WITH 80%+ HEADSHOT HITS WITH THEIR SNIPER WHO SAYS IT NEEDS NERFING. THIS THREAD IS GETTING RIDICULOUS WITH BADKIDS, ITS -blam!-ING SHAMEFUL. YOU HAVE 25% HEADSHOT HIT WITH A SNIPER. YOU'RE TELLING ME IT'S OVERPOWERED YET YOU CAN'T GET A HEADSHOT? - YOU'RE GETTING OUTSNIPED BECAUSE YOU'RE BAD, NOT BECAUSE THE GUN NEEDS NERFING. IF I GET OUTSNIPED OR OUTPLAYED I DON'T BLAME THE GUN LET'S LOOK AT YOUR PVP BREAKDOWN YOUR PVP KILLS (TITAN= TOTAL KILLS: 24,551) #1= SUPER (NO SURPRISE THERE) #2=GRENADES #3=SHOTGUN (WARLOCK= TOTAL KILLS: 4,562 ) #1=SHOTGUN #2=SUPER #3=MELEE (HUNTER=TOTAL KILLS 3,110) #1=SHOTGUN #2=SUPER #3=AUTO RIFLE So, you clearly try to play close range with your most played character by far, the titan. You are using the chaperone which is the shotgun that still wrecks people. A sniper should be 2 body shots and 1 head shot - there is already a crazy amount of flinch when you get -blam!-ed up with MIDA or Jade Rabbit or someone with a small amount of intelligence/skill. How about you try switching up your strategy to counter snipers? No, you expect us to act like adults yet you come and cry to Bungie that the game isn't working the way you want it to and it should be changed because you hit the forums up everyday. All you -blam!-ing badkids need to stop bitching and enjoy the -blam!-ing game. It does not need nerfing, it's not OP.

6 RepliesI agree, it's getting old.

5 RepliesEdited by SaltyJack591: 3/22/2016 6:18:45 PMI imagine that a lot of these things like aim assist and a lack of sway in the crosshairs should exist but only for low level players so they get used to the gunplay. Higher level players should not need such things. It's still annoying than an AI that runs in my line of sight can drag the crosshairs off the enemy I'm trying to kill. I also like the sway as it's more like real life and I am used to compensating for it like when I hunt or target shoot. I understand this is a game but there are a few too many unrealistic upsides.

1 ReplyEdited by theEMsea: 3/22/2016 7:13:53 PMNo because! Say someone shoots a bullet randomly and it head shots u. It was 1 bullet so it does almost no damage BUT your un-scoped and miss your snipe. Should you de scope? Yes after half of health is gone
