Sniper mains how do y’all peak and headshot so quickly and effortlessly?
I’m just curious how y’all slide around a corner and instantly headshot someone not knowing where they are standing or positioned at? I know my behind can’t do it lol.

Practice. I have around 40K+ sniper kills and I’m a very aggressive sniper.

Easy way to counter good snipers is to instantly crouch when they slide around the corner or stand up if they know you’re crouching as it’s much harder to adjust vertically instead of horizontally while aimed in. If they miss and decide to shoot a second bullet then hit crouch again then that’s all their ammo assuming they are going for crits.

Big hitboxes and incredibly high aim assist.

I'm garbage at sniping so idk for sure, but I imagine it's like anything else, a ton of practice and experience.

Sniping in Destiny feels like every player has big head mode on. It's the stickest sniping in any PVP game. Like training wheels for toddlers. 🤣

I usually just keep the reticle where I think the head would be and if I feel a bit of the stickiness from aim assist, I pull the trigger. Doesn’t work out all the time but it’s satisfying when it does.

Numerous ways of doing so.... Radar gives you the info you need to tell you where a guy is at... They can also peek to see where the guy is go back in cover then peek and scope where the guy was. Some. Abilities give wall hacks or some exotics can do the same so people know when a players is moving out of cover and they prescope that lane. All good sniper gamers have the reticle at head level of a guardian and when a Jim or Jane walks past they get the snipe easily. End of the day it comes down to experience.

A big tip you have to put to photographic memory is that there are visual marks on walls and stuff u can use as reference when lining up shots. Go into a private lobby and have a few of your buddy's stand by door ways and the usual sniper lanes. Look at those entrances and walls. You'll see what I'm talking about

Map awareness and the head hit boxes being the size of pumpkins.
-
There are common spots people like to stand and if you can memorize those along with how far your slide is and how high or low to aim before your slide, it makes it easier to do. Plus some people are just super cracked at the game.

You know the typical positions people go to and what height they’re at. When you know the height you need to aim at for a headshot, you can peak a lot easier. If you’re being flinched, aim at the body and your aim will be flinched up to the head.
