I Hear ya. But on the other end of the spectrum how much damage should a sniper rifle really do? If they scaled back the damage so it couldn't 1 shot u in pvp, then it would render snipers useless because they wouldn't have a high dps (not including precision dmg). Picture having to shoot someone 3 times with a sniper rifle, it's absurd seeing as it only takes 3 shots for most handcannons. I feel it's the appropriate damage. Now if there was a sniper that 1 shot u with every bullet that would be op imo and deserve to be a heavy weapon, but since it's the final round it's a risk shot because if u miss u have to reload which leaves u vulnerable.

  • This is a tough cookie. What you're saying is true and I agree. I think it would be difficult to balance something like this properly in an enviroment as unfair and unbalanced as Destiny's crucible. I think what many people find frustrating with the IB sniper in particular is because of its small mag size. 3 bullets doesnt take long to get down to the final round with that sweet sweet extra damage. I was lucky enough to find a Longbow Synthesis (something something) sniper rifle with the final round perk. This rifle has 5 rounds in the mag and it's just a hassle to empty it just for the perk. Not to mention a whole lot less bullets to actually shoot at people.
