You are going to be sol come the taken king. The final round perk will be effectively useless for instant kill body shots. Now if i were any of you I would go pick up a real sniper and practice getting headshots.
Here is some friendly advice for you:
-[b]Efrideet's Spear sucks[/b]. 3 rounds, terrible aa. In about a month the final round won't work how you want it to so put this sniper down.
-If you don't have any old good snipers I recommend Her Benevolence. It is easy to get and can be rerolled. If not that the Shadow of Veils PoE weapon has the highest aa in the game.
-aa means aim assist, this slows reticle movement when scoped in on an enemy.
- Unflinching is not worth it(not noticeable imo) , and Hidden Hand is a perk made to help expand the hitbox on an enemy. I don't use the perk on regular snipers but some may find it helpful. Additional ammo perks are what you want (i.e. double down, performance bonus and mulligan).
- Snipers list of stats. I would start with decent mag size(4+) and high impact with good aa. http://db.planetdestiny.com/items/weapons/special/sniper?sort=stability&desc=1&tier=8
[ EDIT: Okay a lot of people are hating on my comments about Efrideet's Spear and aim assist. If you like having to fully aim on someones head with pin point precision then by all means use the Efrideet's Spear for it has the lowest aim assist in the game for legendaries (on that note using field scout on a Efrideet's Spear is a wasted perk when for example you could have snapshot, armor piercing or perfect balance). But if you are someone who wants to use the aim assist mechanic to its potential and get more headshots, like me, then use the best sniper you can get like the ones mentioned above. [b]I am speaking to the people who intentionally shoot out the intial rounds in their sniper rifle to get the cheese shot![/b] Some of the best snipers in the game use high aim assist snipers and they are excellent. Check the community player focus and his youtube channel. He is excellent. ]

Yeah I have final round but I never wasted the other 2 shots just to get the final round, I like having to aim it requires more skill and it's just a good gun plus if you get a headshot with final round it does 602 damage so say goodbye to sun breakers

Surplus forever Mulligan forever Perfect balance forever Ambush forever Spear forever No year two update is gonna protect people from the spear. G8 b8 m8 :)

Says a person who has more kills with a shotgun than sniper also carries two shotguns and one fusion rifle
-
what about that luck in the chamber though

Unflinching lowers the reticle movement by 33% when you get shot when ADS, this was demonstrated and explained in full on an article in Reddit.
-
I'm a fan of the ldr myself. Although I'll also have to find a replacement soon. As will we all.
-
Hidden hand doesn't expand the hitbox, it slows down reticle movement while ADS on a target essentially making it "stickier". Although I haven't noticed much of a difference without it to be honest, I'll always use my Longbow until a better option comes up.

Someone that's good at sniping doesn't need high aim assist to help them hit the head. Any sniper with high impact is good if you've got a good shot and are comfortable with the sight on it.

Almighty Daygon. Everyone who thinks they are good at sniping even top tier players should pay attention to his YouTube channel and see that you are a spaz compared to this gentleman. He gives incredible advice and is incredibly entertaining. He hits shots that I've have yet to see anyone else Hit. Fun to watch!

Lol you need Aim assist? x3
-
The spear is a great sniper, even without final round.
-
The aim assist is worse than final round use a sniper that you have to aim.........

If you need high AA you shouldn't feel accomplished when pulling off a headshot

I have a clown cartridge performance bonus snapshot short gaze spear and it's awesome as hell I love the impact and damage it does. At the moment it's my fav sniper but I also have a ldr her benevolence low grade and a few other old ones

I don't think this guy has ever used a final round efrideets, so I will explain something to him and all others who havent. Final Round Spears, or maybe just spears in general, have a hidden perk for luck in the chamber. Not every mag, but often enough to be noticeable. I have hit somebody in the head or body with the first bullet and it does 603 or 241 damage, respectively. So when TTK comes out, final round spears (or maybe just spears) will still have the ability to 1 shot kill to the body. Also, real snipers with skill use the spear because of its low aim assist. My spear is my go to gun for both PvE and PvP because it is the most rewarding gun. And before all you haters start hating, which I know you will anyway, I am not 1 of those players who abuses final round. I do not shoot 2 bullets as soon as I spawn, but rather I shoot them at an enemy, aiming for their head. However, I do NOT reload until after I have used the final round. And another thing, I enjoy the spear so much that I have 2. 1 from HoW and 1 from TDB, both of which I use depending on which character I am on at the time (TDB is for my hunter, HoW for my Titan) #TitanMasterRace #SpearMasterSniper

Don't hate on 3 round snipers. Everyone see's me rock Black hammer in ToO. That also has 3 shots. HS all the time. Yes, I would agree it would be "nice" to have more ammo... but' it's not needed if your aiming.
-
I have a final round long bow but I don't abuse the final round never seen the point in wasting ammo when I can get head shots
-

You're garbage if you need Her Benevolence, short gaze scope, and hidden hand to get precision kills with a sniper.
-
Field scout double down gives you 24 bullets on spawn with effrideets it's far from useless
-
So using high aim assist snipers makes you better? Don't make me laugh.
-
efrideet spear does't not suck. its a monster if you know how to use it. i got shortgaze with performance bonus, field scout and firefly. and i land every shot with headshot. been using it since the first triaals and been flawless ever since.
