Remove Sniper Glint

[Lone]

This is basically what ruins every Game for Sniper Lovers. It is a stupid way trying to balance Snipers. It just exposes any Sniper anywhere on the map and makes any good positioning useless. The only way to play Sniper is to put medium Range scopes on them which isn´t what a Sniper is supposed to be.

I hear dumbass arguments from Sniper Haters all the time that you have to play around the Glint when in reality it should be them playing around a Sniper that you have to locate by sound or likely position. Not that it is hard to see anyone in this Game...

Arma 3 King of the Hill works just fine and it is way waaaaay harder to find a Sniper, also they all One-Shot you.

Stop listening to people that don´t even play Sniper and just want those easy kills.

Just use Binoculars. You gotta play smart to deal with glint or just use medium range scopes.

People like to assume that someone with a complaint automatically does not know how to play or needs tips.
Once you go ADS anything in the general direction you aim at will shoot at you. This makes Long Range Scopes completely pointless. A smart Player won´t use them at all because you are not useful if you can´t effectively stop other Players at Objectives or kill other Snipers. Binoculars are a waste of time and not a smart way to play.

Funny that you judge me for wanting easy kills. when you hide away back near spawn because you just want to pad your kill death ratio. you don't cap points, you don't destroy armor, you don't put down ammo or spare med kits. you don't hold the front line or plug exposed flanks. if the round isn't tickets based you're completely useless.

but sure, cry more how playing sniper is unfun because your ability to instant kill is balanced by you being obvious in day maps. Sorry you actually get a challenge. should the devs change it so any time you join a round your team just automatically wins too?

I guess I hit a nerve there. Truth hurts. If Sniping is raking in easy kills I wonder why so many people are bad at it. I guess it is hard to actually adjust your aim or wait for the right moment to shoot instead of using a Vector to spray and pray.
Meds, Ammo, destroying tanks are class specific so you have no point there and you are leaving out what a good Recon does. I can be a living spawn Beacon for my Squad depending how I am positioned, I can communicate and mark enemy movement, I can deal with Enemy Snipers and I can put pressure on Enemies at Cap Points.
So, you have no argument and I assume you are just mad cause you keep running straight at some Noob with a Sniper :) See, I can make assumptions too.

My ability to instant kill is balanced? Umm, what? And what extra Challenge does Glint add? Squinting at my screen while popping heads because I have to use Medium Scopes? Sorry that I just want some relief for my poor eyes and feel like an actual Sniper.

He wants to get kills with 0 risk and no pressure to aim fast.

I am the main character of this Topic while you seem to be one of those annoyingly superficial background characters that are of no consequence, so kind of right.

Oh no, you got me...wait, that is already the case with Medium Scopes though, so your point is irrelevant even if it were true.


This is too easy. Where is the main antagonist? Oh, no, is this one of those Isekai Stories where I am totally OP? Am I a God?

Sniper glimt on DMR's should be removed first. They can't even 1hk anyone with that, why are they being 'nerfed' by the glimt when using a long range scope.

svd does not have glint with any scope :))

im okay with the glint. you can easily snipe ppl 1000 meters away with medium scopes since the zeroing in mechanic is so easy to use. also, ppl playing long range scopes are just as good and have learned to move positions to avoid getting sniped back easily.

I also agree that they could remove the sniper glint and things would be fine as well. The tracers in the game make it real easy to see where the shots are coming from. Most times I find snipers from the tracer rounds than from the glint.

So, either way im good with it.

I like this idea a lot. Would make DMRs worth using for sure.

You're right, the medium scopes is an oversight and needs to be fixed. The devs need to add glint to every sight put on a sniper no matter what it is. 0 risk playstyles shouldn't be a thing.

[Slim Shady]

No.

[Axebeard]

Use a medium scope.

This, right here, kinda kills your entire post. We "sniper haters" simply don't have the necessary auditory quality to really be able to do this. Some games, like Tarkov or PubG tend to do really good audio quality, so "sound" is a great way to play around the game... this isn't that though. There is simply too much going on (a single sniper in a hill while there are 20+ RPG/full-auto guns blazing and a tank or ten to boot...) as well as just, quite frankly, the audio isn't good enough.

I agree that the glint is an issue... so get creative! Move positions do something unique. My favourite is to grab a sniper rifle, find a forward capture point and then hide aiming behind a cliff or something for cover, so my enemies are always focusing their attention away from me.

I get it, I'm annoyed by the glint too, but the maps are often just too big with FAR too many places to snipe from and the audio quality isn't good enough... without the glint, this game would be an absolute nightmare to play.

If you don't want sniper glint to give you away, move between shots. That's what real snipers do lol

There is no sniper glint on night maps, but there is glint from that glint device.

[|Nick]

Imagine having snipers without glint. This would be beyond op like it is right now, it would be insane. Snipers are already the worst part of the game and half of the complaints are about them. Why would anyone want to make it even worse?

Wait, there are already snipers without glint? Wtf devs?

Sniping in video games is many times more effective than it is in real life and has to be balanced against somehow.
