PLEASE remove sniper glint!

[InsightKnight]

Zoom in. Get shot. Zoom in. Get shot. It is incredibly boring playing this way and neuters the sniper class. I spend 30 seconds to over 2 mins resetting my position and in 1 second my cover is blown. This is not the way to balance a sniper class in my opinion.

It shouldnt be removed, its good way to balance snipers by giving away their positions.

Certain scopes depending on magnification should have less or more glint.

Gotta play around it. Instead of finding some isolated corner of the map, cover your team's push so your enemies have distractions instead of being hyper focused on that sniper glint they saw. Find an extreme flank angle with cover so anybody who can see your scope will be dead anyways. Without the glint, the game would be extremely annoying to play for every other class since there would be way to fight back at all against a sniper hiding in a bush 100m+ away.

Alternatively, use the sniper for like 15 kills to unlock a midrange scope, since those do not have glint I believe.

You get these ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ players in every game that has access to a sniper rifle. They want to setup a little camping site in their corner of the map and never die or contribute at all to their team. Their dream game is one where they can lie prone like a rat and shoot at people who have absolutely no way of knowing they're there.

Glint balances nothing actually. Sniper isn’t effective in ranges below 200m. AR user with 1x beam you easily. In ranges above 500m there’s not much targets too shoot. And scope glare give away your position for whole map. I’m using Acog with range finder with great success. No glare, targets are clearly visible up to 600m (depending on weather, some maps decreases visible range down to 300 m) Don’t use long range optics until they fix it. It’s just inferior to mid range options

Also, people who defending scope glare. Here’s a thing. Ppl can easily track you using traser of your round

Also, there’s no 100+hp damage sniper. So if you missed the head (or fkn blue helmet denies the kill) - target just run away for cover. Games who uses glare, primarily use it to balance one-shot snipers

Pound sand.
If you get to one shot people, then you don't get to hide all safe and cozy.

Ma man, ttk in this game is out of this world. AR beaming you in the fraction of the second from 150-200 m away with body shots os a thing. It’s easier, works in most usable ranges, doesn’t require to aim at o the head. Sure, snipers are the only problem, they need to suffer unnecessary nerfs

i have shot plenty people under 200m with the noob sniper in the head dead... so not usefull under 200 meter is not right...

Same. It’s not effective because there’s the cost of opportunity being a sniper. You can be effective for some extent, but you always get better results with AR until 250m. If your primarily focuses on those ranges - just use AR

Then use a marksman rifle. You are literally asking for your chosen weapons to one shot people with one bullet. Actually collect rocks instead of playing games. You have zero clue about how things should be balanced.

I don’t think I will, lol. AK-15 is the best marksman rifle in the game rn

[LootMech]

Battlefield snipers dealt with this for years so it's clearly a skill issue, you just suck at sniping.

That's what the class is supposed to be. Just saying.

In literally every pvp game snipers are OP, about time this ♥♥♥♥ happens

I’m ok with aiming to the head. I’m ok with damage profile and stuff. My point is: glare “balancing” fails its purpose, because you easily swap it with midrange scope with no glare and covers most effective ranges in the game.

I am an avid sniper hater and even I think the scope glint is stupid.

[Skaii]

Its annoying , u use grappling Hook to get a good spot , everyone see u .. no point using sniper
