Okay, lets face it. In the current state of PvP, shotguns are definitely the kings when it comes to special weapons. Snipers honestly feel very underwhelming. I've definitely noticed players on PC can use them better than on console simply because PC is much more precise, but as a player on console there's really no use in using them. There's a few issues with them in my opinion. The biggest three however have got to be the ammo economy, flinch, and the absence of a strong close-mid range primary that can shut down shot gun users who don't know how to maneuver effectively. Snipers need more than two bullets off spawn. The problem with only having two bullets is the fact that the ammo upon getting a kill isn't right in front of you as it typically is when using a shotgun, you typically have to go and get it which means putting yourself out there to get shot as well as not looking for further engagements. The fix to this would simply be making snipers spawn with 3-4 bullets along with picking up 2 bullets without a scavenger perk, and picking up 3 when you do. That way players using a sniper rifle actually have the ammo to take shots at people. Flinch needs to be reduced as well. I'm not saying reverting it back to the way it was in Destiny year one and two, but it needs to be able to be corrected, and right now unless you see the opposing player first and connect with your shot, or he misses, snipers don't feel possible to correct whatsoever. The third and final problem with snipers in the current state of PvP is the absence of a short to mid range shot gun stopping primary. Think Last Word for example. It allowed players to quickly dispatch careless shotgun rushes with ease. If it were to come to Destiny 2 it would have to be in a category all of its own(like 220 rpm), probably like a sidearm that has extended range so that the 180 rpm handcannons don't become completely obsolete. It would kill in three headshots, 3 body shots and a head, and 5 body shots, meaning it would do 40 to the body and 80 to the head encouraging the player using it to prioritize headshots while using it instead of spamming it. It would also keep its 8 magazine size so it would be meant for single targets instead of multiple. I'm saying this as an experienced crucible player who used snipers and last word almost exclusively in D1. I just want sniping to be viable again, and I hope anyone who reads this feels the same way.
