In my opinion, the flinch for snipers need to stay the way it is. If snipers had reduced flinch then they would be the most used and annoying weapon in the crucible, it’s a one shot at any distance, it needs to have something to hinder it and make you choose smart engagements, not just carelessly go in and get the immediate headshot. Also getting a kill currently with a snipe feels so much more rewarding because of the amount of flinch there is. Another thing, hit box for snipers are fine the way they are right now, and handling for the snipers are fine the way they are now, if you want better handling get perks that help with that. And supers should not be able to get 1 shot head shot because on PC, there are those people that don’t miss a shot, and the ability is literally called a “super” what’s so super about it when 1 shot is all it takes. All I’m saying is that snipers should be more about choosing good engagements, being far back and stealthy, and should take skill and precision

I agree with you that you shouldn’t be able to just walk in and easily snag a headshot. The problem with snipers right now is I do choose smart engagements all the time I play long tight sight lines to give myself the best chance but I usually get out flinched. Don’t get rid of it but the flinch is just way too high. Shotguns don’t have any of those things to worry about

No, snipers require skill to land a headshot against moving targets, so if flinch is removed it will be for the better. If Bungie do buff the snipers, shotguns will still be the more dominant weapon, the whole point of this sniper buff is to give players who love sniping a chance to compete against others. You want proof, look at how y3 d1 was

But you already have a chance against snipers you just need practice choosing smart engagements and making sure that you can kill them first which is very possible with flinch that we have today. And also y3 d1 was the best time for the crucible, special ammo was time-gated which led to more primary gunfights and even though sidearms were a little annoying it was still very fun to use primaries and not have to worry about OHK weapons.s
