Is this suit or weapon based? My preference is shotguns for complexes, ARs for areas Ike the bridge and RRs or sniper rifles for longer ranges.
Also it depends on the phase of the game, start scout, AR, dual uplink.
Middle weapon to fit map/objective
Redlined sniper or MLT forge gun |

Redlined sniper or MLT forge gun Both suit and weapon-based. The suits are meant to compliment the weapons, you know.
Shotguns are made by? Best suit is?
Nova knives are made by? Suit which gets the bonuses for it? |

The longer the range of the weapon the slower you need to move or rotate for that matter.
Short range weapons effectiveness increase with both mobility and situational awareness.
I like using on my alt Vaine Hunter an assault rifle on a Gallente scout frame as there is a good overlap in effective weapon range and passive scan. On my main I prefer shotgun on my Minimatar scout as I can quickly run up to someone and go Boo(m), I use SMG as my sidearm to give some range, equipment is very Minimatar being REs.
Sniper rifles are best on Minimatar assaults if going for a high alpha damage with a good sidearm backup.
There are a lot of modules and weapons made by one faction that only another one gets bonuses or can wield. Case in point until racial parity is reached is that HMGs a Minimatar weapon can only be wielded by Amarr. |

I use scouts as my default so I do use a scout sniper. But if I have to counter snipe a heavy sniper it is either a sneaky git with a shotgun or as much damage as possible which for me is a advanced basic medium suit... I've invested only a little into suits and a lot into dropsuit upgrades. Only have sniper level 3 so most of the time its about ignoring the snipers and using cover as a well positioned heavy with a Thale or charge sniper rifle in the red zone is too much effort for too little impact on the game outcome.
Technically based on the loyalty point store sniper weapons are Caladari weapons. |
