What needs more skill in PVP!? Sniper or Shotgun? Just curious to see what majority of the forum users believe takes more skill. I am not talking about any other game, so please don't compare to anything else (BO3, Halo, etc) Feel free to express your opinion why sniping/shotgun take more skill. Happy trials folks! **Btw if yall could bump or like the post so more people get to see it* would be greatly appreciated!** [spoiler]snipers all day[/spoiler] Edit: Thanks for everyone's input! As many have said it really takes no skill for either weapon if your are just camping a lane/door**

    Snipers: The weapon aims for you ADS stability on par with shooting a weapon while prone with a tripod. Accurate under fire. Shotgun: Requires you to be close enough to spit on your opponent to kill. Requires a tactical mindset combining the elements of cover & maneuver to close within kill range without getting gunned down. Tl;dr To be successful with a sniper you need average reaction time for the trigger pull (That's it!). To be successful with a shotgun you need situational awareness, good use of cover, and some balls. Edit: Sorry for stealing all your comments OP!! Edit 2: The salt is strong Edit 3: Had fun pooping on you 1000 yard stare punks yesterday on Anomaly & will resume washing my rear with your tears in a few hours. Edit 4: Slapped on a sniper Tao Hua Yuan (Wildhawk SLS20/Aim Assist 11?), performed .65 k/d better than average. http://destinytracker.com/destiny/games/1/4611686018433497463/2305843009244039537/4268146588?page=0 1.5 above average http://destinytracker.com/destiny/games/1/4611686018433497463/2305843009244039537/4268291609?page=0 Its so hard!!!! http://destinytracker.com/destiny/games/1/4611686018433497463/2305843009244039537/4268361352?page=0 Playing like a sniper is rough http://destinytracker.com/destiny/games/1/4611686018433497463/2305843009244039537/4268422588?page=0 I just don't get it, shouldn't be this easy http://destinytracker.com/destiny/games/1/4611686018433497463/2305843009244039537/4268606735?page=0 [spoiler]But its not easy sitting out of primary range /Sarcasm[/spoiler] Surely I'm just some shotgun scrub that has no idea what he's talking about...
