Sniper Stupidity..

This is a prime example of something that shouldn't be possible. If a Queenbreakers Bow can land a headshot while taking damage from a MIDA at medium-close range then snipers are still screwed. http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/Beserkerrr/video/16980986 My idea for balancing snipers without hurting them too much in PVE would be: When they take kinetic damage while scoped in, their aim assist turns off and their sensitivity either increases or decreases until they scope out. There NEEDS to be a primary counter-measure to snipers that isn't entirely punishing. The punishment of using a shotgun is range and how they force you to rush or play corner games with people. The punishment for Fusion Rifles is charge time, timing and range The punishment for Primary Weapons is snipers/shotguns The punishment for Snipers is close range combat.. However, a good sniper can easily maintain distance and if needed, kill at close range anyway. Someone who is good with any other weapon still needs to somehow make it to the sniper by rushing or outgun them with a primary at long range (which is impossible if the sniper is skilled). I think snipers have the smallest and most easy to adapt to downside and need a fix to balance them with the other special weapon slots. I've made so many posts lately but honestly, it's good for me in terms of letting off steam. I've been getting so angry with this game lately and I hate it. I love this game to bits but it's driving me insane. I want to see it get better and will give feedback whenever I can. Bungie need to know when people are frustrated with their game and why. It's the fastest way to improvement. Edit: I wasn't saying at all that the Queenbreakers Bow needs a nerf or anything of the sort. I know its hard to use and I appreciate people who go out of their way to get good with it. My point was that, if a Queenbreakers Bow can headshot someone with ease while taking fire, then actual snipers that aren't the Queenbreakers Bow would be able to do it even easier - which is the problem I'm addressing.

  • Listen, queen breakers bow is nowhere near op. If you get killed by the queen then you deserved it. I rather get killed by a queen breaker than any sniper any day. If you shoot a guy and he body shots you and you survived then 9/10 you are going to kill the guy because the guy using queen has to charge another shot. You flinch a whole lot when using queen breakers bow and most of the time while you are in a gun fight, before you fire a shot you can completely miss a shot if you get shot first. Im an expert at using the queen breaker, I have a 20 kill streak with it easily when I play crucible. It takes a lot of skill and its not op. Snipers will always beat a queen breaker and scouts will make it stagger a whole lot. If you were using mida trying to outgun a queen then yeah its fair that you got killed. Mida doesn't stagger anymore so no counter to that. Scout rifles should not ever have high caliber rounds and they should be used wisely when playing crucible. I agree that snipers over all need some type of counter but attacking the queen breakers bow is not one of them. People kick ass with last word, hawk moon and other guns that I suck at using. Don't try to ask for a nerf on my favorite gun please.

    • Queensbreaker bow is a fusion rifle not a sniper. It acts like one but it isn't classed as a sniper.
