Favorite sniper rifle?
Hey Fellow Guardians,
Tell us what is your favourite Y2 sniper rifle (pvp and/or pve) and why do YOU like it. What do you find so good about it? How do you use it (head shot only, double tap…)? Which roll do you love or are your looking for?
For PVP, I personally like the Eirene the best (clean optic, sound, and of course, LitC ;-), despite the low AA of 21, it is still good at getting clean head shots, but if you miss the head … *tching*!!! 1000YS for the high aim assist (71 with SLR scope I believe) ability to swipe snipe, and Antinomy XVI (the Hakke snipe, 69 AA) which is head shot machine and good for double tap although the scope sight is busy and messy in my opinion.
For PVE, 1000YS for the very high stability that you can reach (I’m using the Tacsys which near max the stability) and Eirene for LitC. I don’t have a black spindle so I don’t know. I miss my Y1 Icebreaker though.
So go ahead guardians, tell us in the poll and below, and don’t forget to have snipe-fun at the IB this week!

Anything with perfectionist, they're so satisfying! By the way, anyone think that snipers (high impact ones specifically) need a longer time to aim down sights? It would help solidify their role as long range. To balance it back out, they could simply increase the effect of snapshot.

2 RepliesThe antinomy xvi really does not get enough credit for pvp use. It has a low zoom scope similar to ambush, snapshot, unflinching and an extremely generous base AA of 69 which is essentially like having hidden hand. A situational perk that buffs you behind cover is just the cherry on top. No, it does not revive snipe but they are nerfing in this hard in trials. A 1000 yd stare with shortgaze, unflinching, hh and snapshot is basically the only thing better but good luck with that rng without reforging. Antinomy will be my goto in crucible and trials for a long time.

Edited by I SoldierSide I: 10/15/2015 5:59:23 PMI voted the Uzume/Tao but you missed Extrasolar RR4. It's my FINAL BOSS replacement. Until NLB Y2 comes out, I'm avoiding IB and ToO if I can. A fully leveled NLB *can* headshot 200 dmg, but the mulligan perk can be really annoying.
