Across 3 characters I have nearly 5000 sniper kills in PvP, with the lowest headshot percent being 76.4 (?). Is that good?

  • Also love the revenant shader on your hunter. I want it. Got the hanged man on mine

  • Hell yeah that's good. It's incredible. You can check all your combined stats at destiny tracker for that stuff so you don't have to do the math yourself. But honestly I think anything over 60% is pretty damn good for precision shots

    I'm on my phone, and destiny tracker seems like a bit of a bitch on mobile. Yeah, the shader is nice, I'm surprised I got it, most people seem to say it takes a few dozen ranks of DO before you get shaders, but it's all RNG. Btw, you're pretty good with a sniper, although for montages, people like flashy stuff like quick scopes; hard scoping multikills is fun but there isn't as much of a "wow" factor. If you want to see a beautifully edited montage, I'd recommend checking out the one on AndrewJRT's channel. Last thing, do you use many other snipers or are you a sworn P&T guy?

  • Yeah man thanks for the input. I'll try some stuff out like that in my next montage. And yes I do use some other snipers depending on the map. P&T is my go to no doubt. I pair it with the messenger and it's awesome. But I also run with my ldr, efrideets, and violator tho the violators kind of taken a back page to the others. And yes I have final round of the Speer but I DO NOT empty out the mag to get to it. Waste of kills. But I like high impact low rof especially if you are precise!

    If you're a fan of the P&T, you might want to try using the Low-grade humility. It has the same damage model, but it can be re-rolled for optimized perks, no field scout though… with shortgaze and hidden hand it has an aim assist on par (if not better than) patience and time. The main downside is that it doesn't have Agg. Ballistics, so it can't kill through res shields in 3v3 game modes. I have one equipped on my titan, with a "perfect" roll, although unflinching is a perk some people don't like, I notice it a lot, as I'm a little more aggressive with my snipes. If you can, get snapshot, quickdraw or injection mold, as they all increase weapon ADS speed, although I'd personally recommend quickdraw or IM over snapshot. Any sniper with a high aim assist and quick ADS time can be used for flashy plays and montages. I've personally made a few shotgunners rage with a quickscope from the Low-grade. Another great sniper is Her benevolence, I'd recommend the same perks as are on my Low-grade humility, but you seem more passive of a player, so performance bonus or replenish would be just as good. Edit: forgot to mention, using aggressive ballistics on P&T is really beneficial, it lets you res-snipe and kill through overshields; the sacrifice to stability is unnoticeable.

  • I'm not a big fan of unflinching or hidden hand myself. They seem overrated for sure and doesn't make a huge difference either way. I really like snapshot( it's on my Speer) I've actually dismantled a few low-grades. I might try and keep one now. I feel like I get a lot. And yes I've been trying to get her benevolence! I know it's dirty and I really want it. Can't wait to finally get my hands on one! But thanks for the great input!

  • Yeah, unflinching is for aggressively-in-your-face-sniping. That's closer to my way of play and performance bonus isn't consistent enough to warrant using for me, unless i've spent hundreds of weapon parts and can't get a perfect roll. Hidden hand isn't something you want to ignore though, not only does it make some difficult shots piss-easy, it also makes simple things like drag scoping much easier. Not to mention that every other perk in that slot is kinda useless, such as rodeo or mulligan.... Quickdraw will give you the same ADS speed bonus as snapshot, along with faster draw and ready time. Injection mold gives the benefits of quickdraw (to a slightly lesser extent) AND adds stability, with a slight sacrifice to range, which, is mostly not important on sniper rifles. Snapshot works too but I wouldn't scoff at quickdraw or IM. Do whatever works best for you though, this is just what I've found to be the most effective for the current sniper perks.
