You already got your wish. Low zoom sniper scoops are rumored to be no longer on any sniper. No one is going to use a sniper in beyond light, as the close quartered maps make long zoom snipers useless. It’s going to be a shotgun meta next season Of course then shotguns will then be nerfed in some way next, much to the horror of most shotgun users. They’ll probably lower your mobility greatly when using them or increase their spread so that your unlikely to get a kill at more then 4 meters. You people got to keep in mind. The meta is always nerfed eventually. Complainers going to complain, so when sniper mains start complaining about shotguns, what’s stopping Bungie from taking their advice and neutering them? People might want to keep in mind. It’s not just OTHER PEOPLES main weapons that can get nerfed. It would be VERY easy for a large group to target YOUR favorite weapons after the fact.

Good, a sniper should be used for long range engagements. You shouldn't be able to use a sniper in shotgun range with the same effectiveness as you would in a long range scenario.

I use bite of the fox usually so... This really won't affect me that much. Granted, im far from being a sniper master, but just sayin... Its good all year :3

Edited by SirHeadPoppington: 9/22/2020 3:26:00 PMThing is low zoom snipers are already in the game. In normal crucible people will still be using old snipers.
-
Don’t worry, I’m still going to use a sniper if it means annoying someone.
-
You mean you still need low skill crutch
-
If you are going to tell me lining up a sniper headshot is harder than running at someone and pulling the trigger with a shotgun then u are delusional. Stop peaking the same lanes and get good before you complain.
-
Shotgunning is so much more skillful than running at someone and pulling the trigger lmao. What do you expect people to do while you run at them, just stand there? No, they are going to backpedal or primary you or try to outshotgun you which is where the skill comes in. You need good movement, good awareness, good decision making to be good at shotgunning. All way harder to get good at than simply aiming a sniper, which is a joke in a game with hitboxes the size of a truck.

What do u expect people to do when they see a sniper, just stand there? No they try to primary u, slide, or out snipe you. U see the problem here? The problem is people can’t respect the fact that both shotgunning and snipers both take skill. People have taken the time to master sniper, and master shotguns and have developed the skills to use them.

Shotguns require situational and map awareness more than snipers do to get more than one kill without dying. Snipers sit at the back
-
Only bad slow player do stuff like that, I play so have an icarus grip on my sniper for aggressive sniping. Don’t need flinch or zoom. Also map awareness works both ways, since you die to snipers so much learn the basic lanes that those people peek and learn to slide through them or dodge or something.

Agressive crutching
-
Idk what u mean by that, but ok u obviously don’t snipe a lot or have any respect for something you’re not good at, so no point in arguing with you. Good luck next season when u still see me using my beloved in the crucible 😂

[quote]Idk what u mean by that, but ok u obviously don’t snipe a lot or have any respect for something you’re not good at, so no point in arguing with you. Good luck next season when u still see me using my beloved in the crucible 😂[/quote] I can almost guarantee you I have more sniper kills than you. They are blatantly overpowered and ruin the game right now in both 3s and trials. If you can’t realize this you are biased.

What are y'all arguing about? Both of them require a certain type of skill. Neither one is easier than the other not harder than the other. Shotguns require split second decisions and strong situational awareness. Snipers also require split second decisions (over aim is a thing) and strong overall map awareness. Shotguns require one to predict close range how people are going to move. Snipers require one to predict movement at longer ranges to land a one hit kill. Shotguns require good movement to succeed. Snipers require precision + high prediction to succeed. Guys... they both require skill.

Ok? Who was even talking about flexing kills. The matter isn’t about who is a better sniper. The game needs diversity and if snipers become only long zoom with a lot of flinch no one will use them, in fact only one of those things needs to happen to kill sniping. Shotgunning can definitely be skillful, especially on pc, but there is a reason why there is an entire joke around titans just being able to run at someone at kill them with a shotty. They are more simple to use to the average player.

I use a variety of snipers. Bite of the fox is sitting at 4k kills, Beloved is sitting at 1k kills, alone as a god is sitting at 500 kills. Tartara gaze is sitting at 1.8k kills. I’m not trying to flex, point is, doesn’t matter the zoom, I’m using a sniper. Every shooter that I played I use a sniper, game that gave me the most trouble was Titanfall 2 but I mained it like my life depended on it, aim assist from what I remember was non existent and everyone was zip lining all over the damn place. Feel free to call it a crutch but sniper is life.

It ain't a crutch and they know it. Sure flinch is making snipers quite annoying towards other players but as it's been said, it works both ways. These guys just sick of getting killed by it
