Well idk what the problem would be my friend I think it just takes practice to get good at sniping, I’ve done it in every game I’ve played quite a bit, but just so u can try (if you want to that is) my sensitivity is at 10 and ads is at 1.5 Have a great day and See you star side guardians😎

In my opinion, sniping is more about timing and placement in this sandbox. D1 was more forgiving. Snipers were way easier to use, and there were more Big Team Battle style maps. Now they're smaller arena maps, and Bungie made sure snipers would never be slug shotguns ever again. Nowadays, I really don't use the sniper much. I would say, when I do go back, my best sniping comes from patience, knowledge of the map and from situational awareness. Biggest one is going to be patience. Most of the quick shot snipers are either on M&K or don't play anything else. On controller, sniper is more quality vs quantity. If youre running designated marksman, don't expect high kill counts. You have to wait for them to come to you. Know your map, know the lanes, and be able to watch where opponents are coming from. Honestly, I would designate sniper as more of a trials weapon. In 3v3 you'll have a better time knowing that you have less enemies and 2 people that should be at least helping. On that note, watch your team. If you see them getting into fights, lane up, find a spot for overwatch, and keep an eye on any Lanes they could use to watch you. Try not to hard scope. You lose your tracker when ads, and you lose your situational awareness. Otherwise, in terms of equipment, Its going to depend. A headshot is a headshot on non super guardians. If you land the headshot, you're good. If you don't though, you have a choice to make. You can either try to line up another shot, and risk incoming fire, or you can break off and hope your team can finish. If you want to try to go for the finish, then I would use rapid fire frame. They typically have more stability and less recoil. The trade off is they do less damage. High resistance guardians in a super could take a few shots to down if you aren't confident in your headshots. On the other end, you can run aggressive frame. These are more damage, but higher recoil. If you have a team you trust, you can move away if you miss and have them clean up. This will also give more damage on a super guardian, making the clean up quicker. As far as stats, stability, and range aren't really going to matter in PVP. I would aim for aim assist and handling. The snappier the headshot the better, and the quicker you can get down sights the better. Again, the goal is a quick and clean headshot. The sniper that comes from crucible this year isnt bad, but has a lot of rolls to pick from. It will also be replaced by a new loot pool next season. I would also pair it with an SMG, side arm or an auto. Something you can pull quick and mow down a shotgun ape. Odds are the ape will win most cases when up close with a sniper user, but it'll give you better chances. I'm sure others will have better advice, bit from my experience, this is the best way to go on controller.

Learn to keep your crosshair at head level no matter where you look

Practice on patrol on the Cosmadrome, take an hour a day or every second day. I have seen a lot of good pvp players improving all there gun skills this way. Set challenges while sniping on patrol. Good luck.

Many ways to get better in sniping, my advice. DO NOT HARDSCOPE Put it in caps because no good sniper player hardscopes every game. Its a big no no. But let's get to the finer details of how to snipe affectively. First sniper mains have so many rules they follow but the biggest one is, only ADS for 2/4 seconds. This gives the sniper player his most important tool, the radar. It also allows us not to get ran up from behind with are pants down are legs. 60/40 screen ratio, if you are using cover (should really be using cover all the time anyways). You should have 40% of your screen showing cover and 60% showing an open lane. This gives you the ability to flip into cover if your getting flinched and shot at. Do not stay in one lane, this limits you and stops you from making any team plays or even get any kills. It also makes it predictable if your only ever in one lane. So what sniper mains usually do to avoid staying in one lane, they use the 2 second rule and constantly move around the map and changing positions. Learn head centering, so if you are prescoping a lane you know an enemy is coming through, you always want your reticle at head level. Note: head level doesn't always mean the same reticle positioning. For example if you know a player loves to slide you need to have your reticle a little lower to allow yourself to hit his head. Don't be a show off!!! When I say this don't try to always do trick shots or rush in fights trying to use your sniper as a shotgun. This will usually lead to a death. Practice in pve. Because us console players don't have the sweet programs for practicing are aim what we do instead is practice in pve, or gambit or even just on random planets. Take at least 30 mins a day to practice getting only headshot kills in pve activities or open areas.
