[dARE]

I love me some Sloth. So glad to see the video confirms my choice.

i like the lyuda

Hawkeye if your zero is a pure sniper build.

Honestly, the Pitchfork is best cause of the multi shot, but a good substitute is an Etech Dahl sniper. You can burn up your whole clip in one zoomed shot.

I believe E-tech has lower critical damage than regular guns. And critical damage is what makes Zero the ultimate sniping class.

[dARE]

yeah, that sounds about right. The etech sniper rifle stats always look better than regular snipers, but when I use them I'm not getting as many kills as I would with a Lyuda or Morningstar.

[m3starr3]

i would use the hawkeye as it has up to 600% cirtical hit damage but if i didnt have any dlc i would use the rpitchfork of the lyuda.

it depends on the situation honestly. for mobbing against human enemies who also have shields i find jacobs snipers to work best. the muckamuck is my favorite, but hawkeye will also work just fine. the skullmasher might be powerful but its very inaccurate, whcih is a huge downside. for robots a maliwant corrosive sniper will work wonders, since robots wear shields less often, you can make use of that elemental mutliplier more efficiently. a good maliwan sniper is the snider (purple). notice how the mobbing snipers are not dahl, or vladof, because when mobbing you need as much power as possible in a single shot. against raid bosses on the other hand, the lyuda works best imo, since you can get your ca stacks pretty quickly with it. you need to be pretty accurate and have a good sniper build in order to take down a raid boss with the 120 sniper rifle ammo without prestack but its defiantely possible and very effective. the best sniper rifle in the game now, interms of raw dmg is the pimpernel. this gun can be davastatingly damaging, but it has one of the stiffest learning curves is the game. hitting the opponent's crit spot is rarely going to give you max dmg output, as in order to get that dmg ouput you usually need to find a sweet spot where the biggest number of bullets possible will end up hitting the opponent's crit spot. velocity affects the spread, which introduces another dynamic to it. its the most damaging sniper rifle thnaks to bore, but its pretty hard to learn how to use it.

[Kirios_tsiodras]

also, a good sniper rifle to have is a very low (under 10) lvl vladof sniper in order to farm ca stacks on a single enemy which you've isolated, without killing him.

[WaxxFetish]

Rare: Lyuda & Pitchfork
Common drops: Drogg, Moloko, Muckamuck
Quest rewards: Tresspasser, Pimpernel, Sloth

Most of the snipers generally suck against mobs, due to level design and damage scaling. They are nice for raids with Zer0 though.

[Tealtyr]

E-tech snipers suck. Their stats seem good, but in reality they require two peices of ammo to do less dmg than a jakobs could do with one. Though, I admit, the mokolo is hilarious to use.

Ditto, the Hawkeye is one of the few rifles I can "one shot" most mobs with. Of course if they rush you then its absolutely useless when it comes to body damage. At that point f*ck the sniper rifle and bust out the Norfleet. Problem solved.

over all the snipers i played in borderlands 2 the best sniper in my opinion for zero is the morningstar
