I've seen pretty bad players (who would normally have a greatly sub 1.0 k:d ratio) go 8-0, 10-0 with these "bad" sniper rifles, and good players go 20+-0 pretty regularly. That being said, I don't think they need a boost. If you are having trouble using them, be more picky with your targets (scout suits standing still are typically one shot one kill), aim for headshots, use higher tier sniper rifles, use suits with many damage mods, and stay out of the range of your opponents, stay crouched while shooting. All these things will help you be more successful with them.

They don't suck, trust me, but you can't be a mobile sniper such as in games such as counter-strike, you have to be much more patient.

Yes fix snipers. Raise the headshot multiplier, lower the damage, and add bullet travel time.

Sniper rifles have always had bullet travel time in Dust. It's 2500m/s.

You're overestimating the length of 1/5 of a second, and not taking into account the problems with rendering and hit-detection when trying to engage a scout at 500m.

yes sniper rifles should be fixed.. I want multiple levels of zoom from 5x to 10 x to 25 x zoom. that way at 500 meters I can see your eyes as I put a bullet into it.


at 400 meters a head shot is a guess with the nt-511 seeing its only like a 5 x zoom and the c-15a is only like 7.5 zoom

modern day snipers today are getting kills in the 1-2 kilometer range (1000-2000 meters) with much slower rounds. why?.. ohh they have high end scopes that actually allow for zoom and makes doing 500 meter shots through quarters possible. So no sniper rifles are fine the way they are.. hell I still say more then one level of zoom is needed. a low level zoom so you can find a target and higher level zoom so you can actually aim for the head, and not just where you think it should be.

Well that and INSANELY good sniper teams that know exactly where to aim to get a round on target. At those rages they are aiming inches off target to get the round to land on target and attempting to account for seconds of travel time.
But yes they also do have very good sights with much better sights.

Im a Commando, I snipe on front line right behind a heavy usually, I see no Problems with it,
But I say Decrease the Damage of some snipers (Charge + Basic Variant) but also give them a higher Efficiency for Headshot damage. So Body shots from them would still hurt pretty bad, But Head shots are lethal. Leave the Tactical snipers alone, They are fine, They aren't built to 1 hit anyone, they are built to be a quick kill weapon because of its increased zoom its able to get headshots easier, maybe 1 or 2 people a clip (Given its a 3 round clip).
