Sniper glint is dumb and makes sniping useless.

[HOBO ACTUAL]

You look down sights for two seconds and you get you position blown instantly. You get killed just as quick as another sniper shoots you or some idiot sprays his vector across the map to hit you. It’s dumb and needs to be removed. The snipers aren’t even that good.

All this “you deserve to get your position blown for playing sniper and camping/ not contributing to the game” nonsense is bs. It’s not camping it’s literally the definition of sniping. Find a spot no one sees you and kill them. I’m not gonna run around using my sniper like an assault rifle at point blank it makes the class useless.

There’s enough going against sniper’s already between players running much faster than humanly possible in real life making sniping at long range hard enough and having to hit the head to even get a one shot kill.

Needs fixing asap.

Use med scopes or play around it intelligently. I know y'all really want to just sit somewhere and get kills all game without being fought back at all but that just not how it works, risk and reward bud.

[NeonSaltRocket]

It adds risk to a class that is usually low risk, high reward. If you don't like the glint then move closer and use medium scopes.

I just use iron sights at assault range with the sniper, much more effective

[Kamamura]

It's a balancing measure. I like it.

use medium scope

This community sounds like a broken record. Almost as bad as dark souls get gud

I mean with the amount of post saying sniper glints are unfair... yeah it does sound like a broken record. Other players seem to be able to use long range scopes just fine. Or uses medium scopes.

[Noodlesocks]

Use binoculars to scope an area without glinting or use a lower powered scope. It's either this or they'd have to severely limit the number of snipers allowed per team for balance sake.

[Felicity]

midrange scopes are better anyway

can easily get very long shots with them with no problem
the head hitboxes are huge

i got my 1780m kill with a mf TRI4

Says the people who complain about snipers being too op so they gotta nerf the shot out of them.

So don’t have a sniper class at all you’re not “sniping” if you’re close range shooting, and in the battle up close that’s not what a sniper is.

glint is fine. it has always been fine in games. the issue is the amateur attempt to render it, so I can see your glint through foliage and trees, along with other things, but you probably can't see me.

I like how most people’s responses are “just use a mid range scope” or “get close and personal” that’s not a solution it’s just beating around the bushes. That doesn’t solve the problem it’s making dumb suggestions as an alternative that makes not sense at all.

Definition of a sniper “a person who shoots from a hiding place, especially accurately and at long range.”

Familiarize yourselves with that. Your suggestions don’t meet that definition in the slightest.

[HOBO ACTUAL]

Kinda hard to be a “sniper” when you can’t meet that definition at all.
Can’t hide with a spotlight that is scope glint can’t shoot from far without a long range scope.

Definition of a video game: an unrealistically balanced thing used to have fun. People have been fine since battlefield 3 and probably earlier. There's also no such thing as a sniper in real life, designated marksman at best. These games aren't there to let you lie around sploofing on a rock from 1.3km either, and the map design makes that pretty clear. Maybe check out actually "sniper" games like Sniper Elite 5 with the multiplayer?
