Please buff the following special weapons in pve
Sniper rifles and trace rifles. For special weapons, there damage output feels pitiful.

1 ReplyCertain niche Snipers with Rewind Rounds can be a great PVE option, but rolls make them harder to acquire making them more of a niche thing for those that have one with Rewind Rounds. Damage isn't great for many snipers in PVE unless paired with a Rocket for quick DPS, but even then.

Snipers need a long review, it's like they're still stuck in 2020. While other weapon types have improved and got new perks that let them thrive in the more enemy-dense activities that we've had since Beyond Light, Snipers have essentially not changed at all - nor has there been a new Exotic Sniper since Cloudstrike, 11 seasons ago. Snipers obviously suffer against crowds, because they are single-target weapons meant for long range. However, their performance against such enemies has not meaningfully improved to make up for their shortcomings in other areas. Items like the Rocket Sidearm or a Controlled Burst Fusion are much more versatile and have respectable performance against bosses. On that note, why do Snipers not have any unique perks only found on them? In fact, when was a new perk that affected them last added? Outside of Supremacy getting Kinetic Tremors, as it's the only one that can, I can't think of one since Firing Line in Season 6.

Edited by Ferus Lux: 3/26/2024 11:12:18 PMThey should rework the [b]legendary[/b] Trace Rifles as primary weapons that don't have precision hit damage but do solid body shot damage and have bigger mag sizes than Auto Rifles. This would make them ad clear monsters but against single targets like Majors and Champions, Auto Rifles would be the better pick. Exotic Trace Rifles remain as they are. As for numbers, I'd say 75-80% of Auto Rifle damage in PvE. As for PvP balance, I have no solution and comment but tbh, screw PvP at this point. Edit: For perks and abilities/fragment activations etc. You would still be able to kill enemies with precision hits and score precision kills, but you simply won't do more damage when hitting enemy weak points.

3 Repliestrace and rocket sidearm, snipers are fine

4 RepliesI still don't understand why people use trace rifles in high content . It does no damage at all . A freakin auto rifle does more damage .. But on the other hand a trace rifle should be a primary . It is never gonna do more damage than a GL , sniper , fusion or whatever so it defeats the purpose of being a special weapon in the first place . Snipers on the other hand should be buffed but then pvp toddlers would abuse it in pvp untill it gets nerfed and pve gets punished for it . We have already been there ..

1 ReplyAgreed! I went back to D1 the other day and was elated when I could use my sniper as DPS in raids. We need to buff PVE weapon damage across the board as well as reduce ability cooldowns. I'd personally remove champions as well since I view them as a poorly added difficulty buffer and as a way to shift the meta. I'm also tired of bullet sponge enemies of all ranks.

Snipers in pve are so bad rn

Snipers need something I can't think of a moment in D2 that I've ever needed one trace rifles even out preformed them. God I miss ice breaker so much.

I think Snipers should have intrinsic Anti-barrier. A suitable replacement for Arbalest, and it doesn’t take up your exotic slot. Still, I believe Arbalest does more damage, so it would still fit into the meta as a Anti-barrier/DPS weapon, whereas Snipers would fit into more of the Anti-barrier/yellow bar melt roll, much like a Machine Gun.

7 RepliesTrace rifles are good... Snipers will never be good as long as the crit bubble exists.
