Those Exotic Snipers are based around the fact that they hit like Trucks, that are filled with other, smaller Trucks.
They hit plenty hard. Comparable with the Legendary Snipers in the power slot (Linear Fusion Rifles)
Way harder than any of the Special Snipers that's for sure.

Well sir im an old d1 player, im used to snipers being in the special slot. Its not that hard to adjust their damage and put em in the special slot. We would use em alot more because special ammo is more easier to acquire. When i have heavy ammo i just save em for the boss because we dont have heavy ammo synths anymore.

It's not hard to adjust their damage... But it takes away from what they are. Which, is all about doing a ton of damage. Like that's what their Exotic Intrinics are all about. "This gun does a buttload of damage" If they were retuned into Specials, they wouldn't have that same feeling, because they'd just be outclassed by Heavy weapons because that's just how damage is Heavy > Special > Primary. So if you wanted a big ol' Snoipah to get sick headshots with you'd end up... Taking a Linear Fusion Rifle? That just doesn't seem right. The rest of the Sniper Rifles can stay Special and maybe some new Exotic Sniper Rifles can come out that are Special. But as it stands the current D.A.R.C.I. and Whisper of the Worm are defined by their Heavy status.

but you have plenty of snipers in the special slot, what's wrong with them? Personally, i love Darci being a heavy as it allows you to run 2 snipers if you want to. I dont care if Whisper gets moved though
