With the newest update, I have now won the past 8 of 9 sniper encounters I have had in the Crucible (and WITHOUT using the Sorta Sniper Killer aka Mida). And those 9 encounters didn't include the times where the sniper actually RAN AWAY! Gone are the days of the frontline sniper tank (with the exception of really skilled snipers)
In all seriousness though, this update was needed. Snipers are SUPPORT. Not tanks. They should next to never be winning head to head gunfights against scout/pulse/auto rifles. Now, I understand they have to have some benefit as remaining completely hidden (like a sniper should) is impossible with scope glare and radar. They should and need to be a threat...but not game breaking.

1 OdpowiedźTry out explosive rounds on a scout rifle if you can. Nobody is going to snipe you with those things in their face.
-
2 OdpowiedziI agree OP! Scouts and Pulses have a chance now.

13 OdpowiedziI mostly play NLB and quick scope so I didn't notice any change really. I suppose it hurt those camping snipers the most.

The nerf really closed the skill gap.. gotta be good to contest now.

Trials of Osiris will or perhaps may turn into Tears of Osiris for some. I'm speculating of course, but good luck to those who play and win based on skill. No, I don't play and never have played Trials, but it's gonna be interesting to watch the new Trials and see how those adjust. Cheers to the true PvP elite.

I've won some I've lost some. I'm the one using the primary and it doesn't seem like that big of a change.

You're playing against bad snipers

2 months later everyone will have adapted to mlg quickscope/no scope kills
-
Agreed.

I'm bumping a 5th time because I can't like a 6th

2 OdpowiedziWhen you quickscope everybody you don't notice the nerf.⚔️

So much shit being posted on this thread!

I agree with you that the nerf was needed but a slight buff to unflinching should have happened.

1 OdpowiedźSnipers shouldnt have any aim assist at all. That would solve so many issues on the receiving end...
