Snipers needs to be adjusted ... They are just dumb now
English
-
That's because snipers in D2 have lower zooms than in D1 so flinch from primaries is less effective unless you have a fast firing explosive rounds or high caliber weapon.
-
Let me tell about all the times I shot somebody with a guiding star (high cal moving target) [spoiler] I got headshot and died 😂[/spoiler]
-
They've always been ridiculously good. It was just easier to use shotguns and fusion rifles as most maps were small enough to ape everyone.
-
Snipers do not need an adjustment you need to adjust your play style. Try sliding around corners and hitting your shots....
-
So should I bring up the many times I slid out and got the first shot and still got domed? Or dodged out and got domed? Or slid out and got domed? Cause I will keep on until the cows come home about how aim assist is -blam!-ed
-
It’s called there are better players out there......
-
we DO hit our shots. but since people can exploit flinch we still get domed
-
It’s part of the game just stop complaining about it. it doesn’t need fixing you just need to get better
-
I'm sorry but an exploit like that should [i][b]not[/b][/i] be part of the game If you're down scope and I'm hitting you with any type of weapon, your reticle should not IMMEDIATELY go straight for my -blam!-ing head.
-
Lol you’ll complain about the sky being blue
-
I mean when its a clear day, my workplace is gonna be packed so yes. yes I would.
-
Well we can agree to disagree then
-
This. Even explosives don't seem to -blam!-ing work
-
Exactly. There is no counter to snipers in their current state. I remember playing trials in d1 in widows court. I never enjoyed sniperd as i never use them in any fps. (And i dont especially find them satisfying or "skilled" to use considering how most people can use them. But i was using scouts such as jade rabbit or colovance duty to counter them. And it worked ! In d2 if i try to do that, they will headshot me anyways, or shoot me twice in the body befor i even finished killing him. Snipers in d2 shouldnt be so fast to use and aim honestly. Snapshot and quickdraw are extremely good perks on snipers...but they turn them into something way too good for their power. I dont ask for a nerf since the issue isnt coming from those perks but from the lack of counters. Those 2 perks are just helping denying whats supposed to counter them even more (the last nail in the coffin) But i guess people will always defend snipers because since forever they are considerred as "skilled" weapons even tough this definitions changes depending on the game.
-
The aim assist or flinch definitely needs toning down.
-
Snipers are as easily countered as any other special weapon. Just hit your shots
-
Okay then make primaries work again. Because Idk, im headshoting snipers but they still manage to land their headshots o: Snipers are a crutch pick in destiny thats just how it is. They arent "more skilled" than the rest considering how rewarding bodyshots are, and how other weapons dont stand a chance thanks to 0 flinch against most weapons even while getting headshoted af. And at least with shotguns they arent a threat at every range and are really predictable (also making the gameplay more dynamic than camping on both sides)

Keep complaining about special weapons and you’ll push bungie back to the rise of iron days. Do you like sidearms??? Cause the was the only special weapon you could use without having to pick up your green ammo from a box. Special weapons are fine! People need to understand that either through luck or skill the other player outplayed you. It’s pretty simple it’s a game. Either get better, stop complaining or find something else to play. This game is already on a very narrow ledge. It doesn’t need more nerfs to anything.
-
Yup. Put two rounds in, about to win the gun fight? And headshot. Good bye. So much for flinch. You can't contest a sniper with anything but a fast firing gun and only if you can kill them quick enough. I use anything but redrix and I dont even have the normal fifty percent chance of winning that fight.
-
Hitting your shots punishes you while countering snipers, because flinch is completely broken. Snipers are broken AF for over 5 years now.
-
The only issue is that's its so easy to get headshots whilst you're getting shot. If I'm in the middle of shooting someone, it should not be possible to headshot me. Ever. If they can address that, snipers would be fine.
-
I mean primaries I kinda understand but I've been shot out of my lmg by a sniper. Not even a heavy weapon makes flinch unbearable? That's a straight up problem. When a special weapon is more powerful than a heavy we have an issue.
-
Is that happening because snipers are broken or is that because of the delay in crappy p2p connection?
-
Doesn't matter. Both aspects exacipate the situation.
-
It's because of the way flinch works.
