Do YOU as the Community Think snipers are op and why?
-
I'm sort of in the middle...i think ohk on head shot isn't a terrible thing, but I also think is a little too easy to land said head shot
-
3 RepliesThe only thing I hate is that when you are shooting a sniper in the head it should affect their aim. Little ridiculous that they dont flinch from bullets to the facial area
-
6 RepliesWouldn't say op exactly but I'd like a few tweaks to help them better fill the role I believe they are designed for: - add sway when aiming which reduces in severity over the first second or 2 - sway also triggered when moving while ads, but reducing much more quickly - taking precision damage breaks ads - make incompatible with quick draw perks - no hip fire capability In my opinion there's a problem with no/quick scoping, probably a result of high aim assist? The above comments are aimed at that. I'd imagine these changes would cause a lot more hard scoping and that could be a problem on certain pvp maps, but generally people hard scoping all game are more easy countered than those using their rifles like shot guns. With the sorts changes suggested, it feels like sniping would become more of a strategic decision; a supporting tactic instead of a primary. Probably fair to say that some of the changes would need to be fairly minor to avoid excessively limiting the weapons. And a whole load of testing would be needed to get the right balance.

They are ridiculously overpowered in pvp. Just bodyshot, switch to mida, instalkill.
-
Not really OP but they are overused at times. But its all preference of how you play.
-
They aren't OP, but they are overused.

i don't think there op what urks me is sometimes ill load up crucible to do a weekly or daily and get insta sniped after my ship lands and 1st spawn in most of the time during heavy round... i think 1st spawn snipe should be stopped i.e give you 5 seconds of invulnerability if your loading into a game already in progress..
-
2 RepliesNot op. It's not easy. I only started sniping. Lot of great kills, but also alot of dying. Easy to counter snipes with a grenade to clear the lane then rush.
-
Depend of the sniper. Some snipers have perks that just aim it for you and get kill even if you are getting shot by someone
-
🐴you see this horse?
-
Add sway
-
They're snipers they are meant to reward head shots and I know they have heavy aim assist but everything in this game has heavy aim assist
-
2 RepliesI don't think I'd say op but need reduced aim assist. I ran into a lvl 9 noob getting a few questionable shots.. shouldn't it take time to master?
-
2 RepliesI snipe and shotgun and sniping is too easy. Some players can't land headshots but they'll just double body you. Make them all bolt action, let's see how good people are with them then. I've played trials with people from the forums and some of them just kept shooting until they land the headshot. I've seen them just spraying shot after shot with no accuracy at all.
-
Just change the aim assistance on all snipers to 30% or less and when hidden hand is applied it should give only a modest 20% increase. Aim assistance is a big reason why alot of people are good with them. Then their are the select few who are just gods with the sniper rifle
-
5 RepliesI tried sniping...... Didn't go well I give props to the snipers in destiny. It ain't easy yall
-
yep there are op nerf them no ban them from PVP.
-
Every gun is built to be easy to use in Destiny, this includes snipers. If your a confident player with easy guns, your going to get some great kills, (or annoying if your the deceased). I rarely use a sniper, doesn't fit how I play. When I do and I think about the game, it's no different in practice to a shotgun. You switch to either at the right range. Some players can use snipers at any range. Practice and skill gets them that. There will be matches it's easier to practice and matches you have to try hard.
-
2 RepliesI wouldn't say snipers are OP But the sniper flinch is very forgiving, and I think there is too much aim assist on particular snipers.
-
12 RepliesBecause there is no sway or descope. Add one of those and I'm fine with snipers. If you practice enough to get good fine. But when your taking fire, you should descope.
-
1 ReplyIn ANY fps on the planet a sniper headshot will kill you. Why ppl complain about that daily here is beyond me.
-
6 RepliesYes they are. When im smshing their ass with a high caliber rounds DIS-47 without missing a shot after getting the jump and first shots on them, they shouldn't decide to send a bullet to my head when they're one shot away from dying. Whatever makes the crosshairs go back to the center like nothing happened needs to be addressed.

ULTRA.....STICKY......RETICLES!!!
-
Quickscoping is still a thing first off. Secondly primary weapons are pretty much useless because only a handful of scout rifles can challenge if you get the first 2 shots off before you get headshotted. Unflinching perk seems to be a hidden perk on every sniper rifle in the game except in pve. And the game is so much slower now. Yes people complained about shotguns and cqc in general. People complain about shoulder charge these days too again cqc. But I miss fast paced pvp. This long drawn out pvp that is hardscoping farming kills in the back bs really sucks tbh.
-
maybe reduce aim-assist
-
The sniper gun isn't op. It's the highly skilled person using it that's op.
