Edit: Don't get angry if I didn't list some sniper rifles. The choice limit for polls is 7 and I listed the ones I could think of.
Because sniping is for winners.
Please list your favorite in the comments if it's not in the poll.
My favorite is The Chosen from FWC. High ROF, great range and a six round clip with field scout... Can't wait to reforge it in HoW.
Edit: I know that you can't reforge weapons obtained prior to HoW. I'm buying a new Chosen from FWC and reforging that.
What's your personal favorite and why is it your favorite?
Update: After about 300 posts, it looks like Praedyth's Revenge is the most popular with Efrideet's Spear coming in second. Lots of love for the not listed Longbow Synthesis and nots of love (see what I did there?) for the faction snipers.
Pro tip: If you want to get better at sniping then stick to the same sensitivity and sniper rifle so your muscle memory can remember the aim assist and sensitivity.
[b]Update:[/b] It looks like the poll hasn't changed much after 1,000 posts; still Praedyth's Revenge followed by Efrideet's Spear. Looks like quite a few people like the exotic sniper rifles.
If you use No Land Beyond then you are the biggest winner (you'll lose the match, though).

1 ReplyThe new chosen from HOW looks good already.. Unflinching and rodeo.

1 ReplyPrudence has the highest fire rate which makes it great on some maps. Mine is more PVE oriented so I use my Efrideet's with last round and rodeo more. But Prudence with the right roll is the best option, period. Those who have it know what I'm talking about.

3 RepliesI'm good with pradenths. I've recently come to a new strategy with icebreaker now tho. Because if the impact, a body shot will take down all most all there health. So I do that if I don't get a headshot, and switch to my primary and it's an easy gunfight.

1 ReplyLongbow and LDR are my favorites. I have trouble deciding between ambush and shortgaze scope.

Longbow!

2 RepliesGot a pretty good roll on my ldr, double down(occasionally spawn with ammo) and final round

2 RepliesEh every sniper in the game has its perks, ups and downs etc. It really falls down to how you use it and how accurate you are, i preferably use the Black Hammer depending on the map otherwise i just stick with my primary, you don't really get alot of special ammo like you did before so as soon as you touch it get a kill or not it's gone. Honestly not worth the wait time for it during a hetic match of control in my opinion.
