79.63% of special kills are from snipers...
Does this mean snipers are broken?
No, the map simply favors long range gunfights. Just like the maps these past two weeks have heavily catered to shotgun play. Yeah sure this is a "shotgun meta" but that doesn't mean there are no alternatives. Even though this map is dominated by snipers I performed best on it with a jade rabbit & havoc pigeon.

Pretty sure this map caters to people who head glitch with their high caliber clever dragons. Yay radar!
-
I know right! I'm tired of getting Matador sniped every match as well!

5 RepliesYour own stats betray you lol the average is in the low 40%s for sniper kills in Trials (and shotguns are in the mid/high 40s)

Edited by Hazethemadman: 11/14/2016 3:02:37 AMHats off the the geniuses who charge out into sniper lanes like nothing could possibly go wrong. Edit: Followed by them making an angry post on the forums.

13 RepliesThis is that is wrong with Destiny. The specials are too powerfull. Primary means primary. That should be used most of the time. Bungies has it all backwards. Special ammo should be in the middle of the round. Once. No carry overs.
-
First Light had shotgunners camping B the entire game and wasting everyone's time
-
I went flawless with Jade Rabbit and a shotty... it's all about your strats.
-
4 Repliesshame that 90% of destiny maps are short to mid range meaning the only way to use a sniper effectively is the exact playstyle that bungie nerfed with the flinch and ADS speed/zoom changes.

Jade rabbit and party crasher for me tho
-
80% of my -blam!-s are probably about sports cars but i suppose i can pay attention to this thread.

6 Repliesbecause shotguns are inconsistent as hell and fire blanks half the damn time if you shoot from midair

Edited by Docta-Zeuss: 11/15/2016 7:39:44 PMThe last time snipers had a time was before the patch and it was pantheon(12 weeks ago). Everyone use shotguns now. The only reason snipers were common was because it take 3 years and five days to run around and in sure your not (majority) going to have a shotty when the next guy can just dome you

2 Replies20% are from plan c

3 RepliesYou seem to forget that for the two weeks of Inferno Trials, 80+% of the the overall kills consisted of shotgun kills, while snipers only held 75% of all special kills. What does this mean ? It means that for the most part, there only a handful of primary weapons that can compete with shotguns in short range, while their are multiple weapons that can compete with snipers at medium to long range.
-
2 RepliesTrials shouldn't be in maps that favor 1 special weapon over the other. It should have a way that gives success to all special weapons and that's all people wanted. Bungie just had to OMG overboard and put first light like it was funny when in reality it just made people hate snipers
-
Nerf Snipers! OP! that's unacceptable! [spoiler]not :D[/spoiler]
-
Even on such a map the snipers only got to 80 % I was surprised that when i last checked there were still 15-20% shotgun kills this weekend.

Edited by Weeza: 11/15/2016 9:57:20 AMLol the nice thing is maps like last light,bastion and another map i dont even remember are removed from other playlists which makes destiny a 99% shotgun fest expect this weekends ToO. I mean even on this large map snipers are almost 10% less used than shotguns in the last two weeks wtf ^^ i have faced teams of shotguns which camped every damn round in the house next to the zone with a bubble when its up its so silly...

Buuuump

17 RepliesNow only if they fix the flinch on snipers 🤔
-
God damn it bungie snipers are broken nerf now!
-
9 RepliesYea but even when it was a close range map 85% of ALL kills were with shotguns which is very broken.
-
4 RepliesShotguns and snipers are both good. Everyone needs to quit crying. Maps and individual play style determine which gun is the best choice for the player.
-
1 ReplyLol I saw that post last weekend?
-
No they are broken !!! They need to be taken out or nerfed to the ground!
-
I mean they [b]are[/b] broken still
