Don't really snipe, I need to practice

High impact because no matter the game mode, one headshot kills self res, blade dancer, nova, and any revives.

May as well go low impact unless it's a game type where you can revive

High impact can shoot through shields

Pvp-low impact (unless skirmish/elimination) Pve -high impact

Depends lo imp for pvp hi imp for pve

having possibly the Highest Rate of fire on a sniper (Subtle Nudge DN7) and now recently Efrideets Spear, I have to say I like Efrideets a lot more, my DN7 allows me a quick follow up shot and since I have damn near max stability on it I don't need to correct if the first shot was well placed or close enough (also got a 5 round mag) plus if I get head shots I can potentially get 5 kills a mag which is pretty good. Efrideets though with its short 3 round mag and low rate of fire forces me to choose my shots more carefully lest I waste a mag or potentially get sniped. Efrideets can one shot a self res warlock with the ram which is pretty damn useful especially on pantheon where dumbnuts self res in the sniper lane after getting killed. plus even if I only get a body shot with efrideets I can immediately switch to my primary like suros or a long range hand cannon or Another NITC and shoot them once or twice and get the kill.

High impact for pve is doesn't really matter for pvp.

High impact. Definitely feels good sniping players with their Supers active

Low impact for life

High I'mpact sniper can 2 hit people, but low impact snipers can 1 hit people with a head shot [spoiler]theredore low impact snipers are better [/spoiler]

Bump

Gotta have that high impact! ;)

High Impact because: 1) you can 1 shot shielded enemies in the crucible. 2) the high damage output makes the defender panic allowing you to switch weapons for an easy kill (if you shoot the body) 3) I find that heavier scopes and a lower rate of fire helps me snipe better
