Nerf snipers in Gambit and Crucible

I'm getting sick and tired of being 1 shot by snipers in both gambit and crucible. Why is it that hitting 10-20 shots at close to medium range with a pulse or auto rifle barely kill the enemy but a sniper is always insanely effective no matter the range!? It's the same with hand cannons, blast someone in the face at close range and they'll still walk away without a problem but the sniper will get you no matter the range, it's seriously ruining the fun for me and many of my friends that feel the same way.

  • Lol.....really? Maybe put the shotgun down and learn how to use a sniper. It takes skill but is rewarding. Snipers hould be a one shot. It should pair with a hand cannons. That one shot, switch to hand cannon shot takes more time and skill then that dust rock blues that you hip shot with. I'm not sure what gamer generation your from(and I dont care) but if snipers are too much for you maybe you should go play splatoon 2.

    • Because... it's a sniper? Actually if you want the real reason its because unlike other games destiny doesn't have bullet drop

    • My one complaint would be snipers don't seem to receive much flinch. I'll put half a mag into them and they still snap on me

        Wait snipers are finally meta, oh and handcannons have always paired with the snipers perfectly. Aside from that snipers are overall not that great, and not many handcannons pair well with it aside from 180s and TLW( LH/NF as well ). Special weapons will always be better than primaries, there is no way to change that( or they risk going back to the horrible release of D2 ). I can understand close range for snipers but there really isn't any that can do it consistently, handcannons play in the exact area it should. Btw there isn't a single baseline sniper that can kill in one body shot( we're not in the final round days ), same for the highest impact WotW. Not counting perks though, and WotW's box breathing( and the perk itself )only applies to precision damage. That leaves either you got team shot or got domed, so working as intended and pretty much everything else makes no sense.

        • That’s the gameplay nowadays. Play it or don’t. I hate it too but I’m not gonna cry-“Bungie. They aren’t playing fair. Nerf everything so I can win.” Too many of you out there

            It will probably calm down after revoker besides sniping is high risk vs reward yes it's a one shot head but between the fire rate and flinch not super easy(like l.o.w currently) plus the easiest way to counter a sniper is to shoot first with your own
