I think that when it comes out in 2023, it will be terribad as a sniper rifle. Think about it, a LASER sniper rifle. I also think it will be a charge or just regular.
Lol stealth lol.
Any other ideas on what it will be like?

Darn. Well, I dreamt up my own design. Sooo... what will the Amarr anti-material light weapon be? Sort of like the Spartan Laser? or entirely new?

So, charged shot, higher shield than armor damage and a better headshot bonus than the Caldari weapon. It should have the second best sniper range as well, with Minmatar at third and Gallente in last place. The Gallente weapon should one shot kill just about anything but require a reload after each shot like the plasma cannon.
Yeah, I think the Gallente should be a breach variant of the sniper rifle, or charge. But yes, high damage and shorter range. Maybe a clip size of 2, with a long reload.

It'll deal good damage, but the beam will "linger" in the air giving people a heads up to where the sniper is. The whole point of a sniper is to remain hidden. Producing a beam that reveals your location to the entire map would be a very bad idea. The LR works because it's in that medium range where you can use cover and support your squad from the rear while staying mobile. Even though it breaks the lore somewhat, I would prefer to see an Amarr sniper rifle work like a long ranged standard scrambler rifle (possibly with a headshot bonus).
Well... the scrambler rifle has a beam. And yes, it should definitely have a bigger headshot bonus.

Quote:Should be a scrambler shot and instead of a charge up before the shot it would charge after the shot. It would be giving you one powerfully charged shot so would need the charge up time.
The catch would be that it would do only one shot at a time with a 1 sec or so charge up. It would have a range less than the Caldari rifle but longer than the Minny or Gallente. It would build up heat with each shot and that would be separate from the charge time so it would overheat if firing 3 to 5 shots as soon as it charges.
It would do the same damage up to its optimal with little effective.
So, it would be closer to the Caldari as a tactical long range rifle as opposed to the Minny and Gal which by all rights should be close range marksman rifles. Although the Minny should be able to do some damage in its falloff that would be somewhat less than the Cal
So you're suggesting a mandatory charge? Doesn't follow the Amarrian tactical-style, semi-auto weapons, but certainly a possible implementation.

This was my original point. I would like to see the Ammar sniper rifle act in this sort of way so as to prevent camping, and add to the difficulty of using it. It should be a more tactical weapon, requiring skill to use efficiently. It's insane headshot damage and alpha damage a tad lower than the Charge Sniper Rifle would make it ideal for skilled snipers.
