I consider myself a decent sniper, but when I go into Crucible, I'm wrecked beyond belief. There are guys who headshot me the very second they scope in. It's -blam!-ing ridiculous! I don't understand how they do it!
EDIT: A lot of people are saying that they get their skill from Halo. However, I actually snipe very well in Halo, but not-so-well in Destiny.

The hidden hand perk helps aim assist to a certain degree, but the send it perk and a long range scope increases the aim assist by a substantial amount. couple those with a sniper with decent base aim assist stats, and you basically just have to have your enemy near the center of your screen, and shoot.
