[quote]So in case you haven't played Destiny in almost a year, sniper rifles have become the single most used weapon in all of Crucible since the Thorn could kill people after 2 hours of its burn. Why? It's pathetically easy to get an instant kill at literally any range in the game, whether across the map or Titan "I'm too bulky and slow to lunge" melee range. And then if you aren't somehow good enough, every single sniper has a fire rate fast enough to outshoot the Last Word at point blank, and literally every sniper rifle in game can 2 shot people to every single part of the body that's not the instant kill to the head. Starting to grasp the picture? Sniper rifles need to be reworked to the point of actually being those "special situations" weapons they're supposed to be, not to mention the just-as-long-ranged shotguns. Make them either fire much, much slower, of have them a 3 to 4 shot body kill to negate the simple ease of taking down a Guardian when it's clearly designed for the skill that a ridiculously vast majority clearly lacks. The aim-down-sight time needs reduction, to amplify the fact that these are weapons literally designed to sit in one spot, and wait for that perfect moment to take the shot, not just run around and constantly spam the trigger aiming in and out as fast as every other weapon in the game. Just like shotguns, make them SPECIAL weapons, used in SPECIAL situations, not literally every single fight you come across.[/quote] Bump!!!! BUNGIE WILL IGNORE THIS POST BECAUSE THEY FAVOR SNIPERS. The funny thing is, when a few weapons or weapon types were heavily used previously there was a nerf done. But since BUNGIE LOVES SNIPERS they won't do a damn thing about it and they're catering to the sniper crowd. It's no secret snipers have become the new meta and are heavily used. Look at all of the new maps, you can literally snipe on all of them because they're designed for it. It's pathetic. Something has to be done about snipers. STOP IGNORING US BUNGIE!!!!!! I agree, make snipers 4 hit body shot and leave the head shot alone, add more flinch when they get shot. It's ridiculous the amount of times I get head shotted by a sniper while I'm literally loading them up with rounds from an auto rifle like doctrine.
