Sniper Rifle has no place in this game

Everyone runs at the speed of light, even the heavies and on top of that they are most of the time under rubble from wathever exploded and collapsed, if you want a better alternative replace them with a more closed ranged alternative, the DMR

Yeah but this game has very little of its own identy.

Of course it has snipers. It has stuff from every popular game in the last 15-20 years.

Well sniper doesn't serve a strong role in the primary game mode.

By unlocking options for an individual, it makes the game feel really scattershot with design intention

It's.like they added them because good shooters have snipers, not because the finals needed a sniper

im good at sniping in this game, however its not viable and i hesitate to actually enter a match with a sniper loadout in fear of letting my team down. they should buff bodyshot damage based on the class, like it does 75 to light, 120 to medium, and 150 to heavy

This has nothing to do with skill. A skilled player with an Smg or pistols will always beat a skilled player with a sniper. The problem is that you can't play the objectives properly. The sniper is useless in close combat, and to make an impact you need to get in close. To be honest, you need some kind of sidearm so you can at least do something.

There are many other problems. A headshot with the sniper should be a kill. In such a fast game, it's not easy to hit someone, and right now it takes 2-3 sniper hits to kill someone. That's not balanced. Btw the RPG is the better sniper....

Has even less to do with player speed and more to do with most objectives being in a very tight space. Snipers are not team player weapons.

it serves a role if you aimhack

[Hio]

skill issue, sniper is most stable gun with zero recoil, you can shoot enemy ass without scope, the problem is how you survive

[LMBits]

I agree snipers don't make much sense in this game. They don't help the team in most situations and are annoying as F.

there is a rifle without scope, what are you talking about?

[👁️⃤Singu ꧅🥲⃤⃞⃟]

Do agree that sniper is just another meme weapon that encourages already below average players to be even less help for their team.

Should lock new players to Mid for the 3-4 matches so they learn the drill and to play as a team. 207 Matches and I can count the number of usefull lights on two hands.
