Sniping in D2

I just finished the ornament quest that requires you to hit 20 precision hits and 50 killing blows in the crucible with a sniper and it made me realise how of snipers feel. The maps are quite small and really good sight lines are rare. In most situations I felt at a disadvantage having a sniper equipped. Because even at long ranges 120 HCs can hit you for high flinch and damage. Of course it’s not a problem if you are a quick scope flick and drag shot pro but that’s not the majority. I thought I was just because I was bad at sniping [spoiler]wich probably played a part, but I would say I have some experience, since snipers were all I used in D1[/spoiler] So I went back to Destiny 1 and straight up hit headshots left and right and finished the game with a 3+ K/D using a double sniper load out. Sniping just felt so much better. What do you guys think of the current place of sniping?

  • Honestly, I'm fine with not seeing snipers often. The way you get more snipers in the sandbox is reducing their flinch, or raising their ease of use in some other way and doing so just makes them completely unfun to play against. The amount of times I'd get headshot mid burst while using a high cal pulse was genuinely infuriating, and just made me feel grateful for the matches where I didn't see someone with Revoker or Beloved.
