Snipers feel underpowered in pvp
Being a sniper with 14 rounds to play with was fun, tricky but fun. However one thing that bugged me was if it wasn't a shot to the head, it wasn't a kill a lot of my really long distance shots on the moon you don't see much of the person just a moving target which is hard enough to hit so even hitting it is a challenge.
So I line up the shot pull the trigger, impact to the body...and he is left with hardly any health and by the time I go to line a second shot with a slow firerate he's gone and Iv wasted a bullet and gave away my possition.
Can sniper rifles get a Small buff so that it becomes a one hit kill? Can any of my fellow guardian Snipers make your own thoughts known? Should they get a buff for those extra long shots? Or stay as they are and keep trying to that illusive head shot or hope that when you shoot them your team mate finishes them off

Lol one shot kill to the body? That ridiculous and should never happen. That's what golden guns do and they're a super ability. Do you realize how broken the game would be if everyone was walking around with what would essentially be a long range golden gun right of the start that has frequent ammo dropped around the map?
-
I think they should stay as they are. Body shots isn't that hard to do. Unless your a crappy sniper then stop.
-
Wut O.o they are powerful unless you had one that sucked all you have to do is get a headshot or two body shots like in halo this isn't COD Gozen C & Pompii are the best two I was able to find in the beta
-
Become a better shot and you never have a problem

Having had the misfortune to play against Leopard Stealth I can assure you anecdotally that Snipers are not underpowered :)
-
Snipers are op.
-
Head Shot= One hit kill Body Shot= Equals two or more hit kills Get a kill= Good aim
-
Go back to the CoD games where they are a one hit kill. It wasn't that hard to get headshots with the sniper. It was how I got most of my sniper kills. You just need more practice. Also, some of the sniper rifles had options to attach a long distance scope. That might help for the real long range shots.

Edited by SugarySquash: 7/29/2014 8:13:30 PMSniper is fine. Shotty needs a buff. I feel like sniper belongs in the heavy weapon slot because its so good. It outclasses every other weapon in the hands of a skilled player

Get a better SR rifle, there are plenty with low recoil and faster ROF that are perfect for PVP since it's always 2 body 1headshot kills with any sniper ive used so far. Chances are you are using a higher recoil low ROF rifles which have higher impact and are good for higher body shot damage and suitable for PVE but terrible in PVP.
-
One shot head shots?! How is that underpowered.
-
You gotta be kidding me,I've been destroyed for many snipers in the iron banner,you just have to know how to use a rifle

The snipers are IMO really well balanced in this game. I had more kills with the snipers in the Beta than I had with the primary weapons and I played a lot of Team Snipers in Halo Reach so I know my stuff. One annoying thing about them which I did notice is that when you get a headshot there's some sort of overlay effect (I think it's a white shimmer moving across the screen) which really annoyed me because it looked similar to the bullet trail you'd see in Reach when someone just missed you with a sniper. It made me think that someone was trying to shoot me.

Actually snipers aren't underpowered if anything it's a tad bit overpowered. I love the sniper, always have it as my secondary but you need to be accurate and always go for headshots, if u only go for body shots all the time you won't be getting effective kills and using ammo efficiently, especially since the "special" weapons in the game have very low ammo capacity.
-
I thought it was fine even with the larger caliber 3 round sniper. Though the primary weapons could use a little rebalancing.
-
Snipers are fine the way they are, non sniping guardians have no defense to sniping other than running. If you are far away enough like a sniper should be we won't see you other than glint and at that range other than a sniper we are out of luck. Also the time to kill is shorter on sniper s than other guns besides shotguns. Even when I do see snipers they usually get the heads hot before I can react.
-
No ! Snipers should stay one headshot/two bodyshots to kill, the only thing it might get buffed on is when you're in close quarter (by close quarter I mean when your opponent is taking half your screen), you can miss a bullet if you're noscoping... So, imo, the only buff is should get is more "auto-aim" on body to body noscoping...

4 RepliesI just hate that when you're lining up the shot, the target knows your position because of the gosh darn laser pointer mounted to your gun.
-
No game except cod and b.f. has really had one shot kills with snipes. Look at halo. One shot kill to the two to the body. You have to take shield and the body armor into account. It's fine just how it is.

Edited by iTz Aksid3nt: 7/29/2014 9:04:07 AMThe sniper is not overpowered, nor is it underpowered. 1 body shot for the kill would be ridiculously easy and would get way out of hand. Head shots in the game are already easy enough with the sniper even across the map on the moon. And for those saying "if anything it needs to be nerfed" you would also be wrong. The fact that you have to constantly pick up ammo in different areas on the map keeps you from camping and puts you in risk of being killed, so the trade off is perfect. I would recommend you to playing some halo while waiting for the game to come out so that you can get good at sniping people in the head.

8 RepliesIve went 35-5 on venus (mostly with snipe kills) its so easy to kill with that gun, it has a pretty fast reload, not much recoil and a fast rate of fire for a sniper. 1 shot to the head and 2 body shots is perfect and reminds me exactly of the halo 2 sniper( little recoil, fast rate of fire and good reload speed and 1 and 2 shots for a kill) its also pretty easy to snipe long range for example on the moon with a headshot. Youre either a troll or completely garbage at the game if you think it should be 1 shot kill no matter what lol
-
What are you talking about if anything needs to be done about the sniper it needs to be nerfed with their quick fire rates and low recoil.
-
Bungie historically makes sniper shots 1 hit kills to the head and two shot body kills. This isn't call of duty where I could get shot in the leg and die in one shot. The more you snipe the better you will get at it. I'm not going to call you an idiot or bash you for having an input. But look. With one shot your shield goes down. Which means you have time to lull out your primary and finish the job if you like playing that way. Otherwise. Work on your sniping. In my opinion snipers are balanced. Even the ones that have 3 shot clip. The last one is a faster reload making the DPS even if the attack is higher than the one with 4 which I imagine the two best snipers should be. Mine being 62 attack 3 shots. Easier.to kill.on vehicles.

if anything the Snipers aim assist needs nerfed to hell! the amount of times i went for the perfect on hit headshot kill and missed because somebody jumped infront of them and the sights followed that other person was stupid, nerf that aim assist for the Snipers and Golden Gun bungie its way to strong
-
Get a better scope then.

1 ReplyIs this a joke. If it's stupidity I am laughing. If not still laughing anyway.
