Buff them.
Give them a headshot by class: 150% light 200% scout, 250% medium 300% assault 350% logi 400% heavy 450% commando 500% Sentinal
But only for shots from within the Warzone ie outside the redzone.
Also once you get to 10x kills countdown timer works in your redzone as well as the enemy

I don't know if you people think of the redline outside of sniping but here is what will happen if you remove it. Instead of one team stomping and redlining the other team. That same team will stomp only now the other team has no safe place to spawn. The enemy can literally sit under the mcc and shoot them as they fall out. People will rush to clear out the other teams uplinks and kill the first wave as fast as they can then just set a dedicated spawn camp team to hold them in while the rest go out and hack objectives. Removing it will break pubs, i promise you.
I agree that something needs to be changed but i really can't offer a decent solution. I personally think sniper rifle damage is fine as is. If you have a charge at prof. 5 with even a basic commando and 1 complex damage mod (my sniping fit) you can 2 shot most suits. If a sniper wants more damage on such a low risk weapon then the trade off is he needs to spec fully in to S.R. prof. and caldari commando level 5 .
Even as someone who really enjoys sniping i don't think it should ever be able to 1 shot a sentinel suit even with a headshot. We need suits in this game that can accomplish things without the fear of being 1 shot by 500 meters away. Suits in this game are expensive. It's not like other shooters where deaths are penalty free. That's the number one reason i believe S.R. damage should not be increased. IF however, they are somehow prevented from sniping from the redline they would need some kind of boost. I think ccp was trying to balance snipers before by making the caldari commando suit. Encouraging players to take a sniper rifle into the field knowing they had another main light weapon to fall back on. Sadly they can't force people to play differently, only offer the option. I do find a field sniper very effective on ambush though. |

Give snipers their perches back, and your argument of "redline snipers are sissies" will hold water. Until then, I'm going to snipe from the best vantage position on whatever map I'm on.

The logic behind it is indeed the same.
- Ladwar's logic: I am Y, and use X therefore all X users must be Y
- Your logic: All X users are Y
- Logic used in my example: I'm Y, and I use X, so only Y uses X.
They're all the same in the sense that while they aren't worded exactly the same, they all claim that X users (in the case being Snipers) are Y (in the case being "cheap redline sissies"); which is indeed a fallacy.
There's nothing to see other than you being unable to form a logical and coherent reason as to why Sniper Rifles shouldn't be viable, while also conforming to a logical fallacy.

One would hope. Honestly my complaint is that redline snipers are pretty much not contributing to the battlefield efforts most of the time. The whole "shooting you from safety" thing is BS. I enjoy expending dropships and proto HMG fits simply to drop on and murder them and their precious thales.
Plus countersniping is fun if you're patient. |

Said it before and I'll say it again:
Map design and game mechanics are not the fault of the weapon, or the player. Game balance should not revolve around 'redlines', especially in a game where there is massive incentive to redlining the enemy team. The hell do you want them to do, run into your gun?

There are plenty of counters to snipers, as we all know... Sniping will always be a way for lower sp players to enter the game, they can learn the game from watching from a far and build up their sp and isk. They wouldn't be a greater asset getting stomped on the frontline anyway. Skilled snipers often play outside the redline or can provide worthwhile support and intel from the redline and changing the redline would not change a skilled snipers habbits. And remind me again how exactly do you know where your own redline ends, so you can keep outside of it to stop people complaining? |

The only reason I ever use a sniper rifle now is to pick off Forge-sniping asshats. Oh, no, wait, for the past 6 months Sentinels have had an increase in HP or effective HP while the sniper rifle lost out on proficiency bonus and damage mods.
The range of the sniper rifle is literally the only reason I still choose to use it over a forge gun. Even then, the purpose it once served post armor plate buff was completely negated by 1.7 vehicle changes and surface effects. An ADS is a far better tool to clear off rooftops.
Unless the Sniper Rifle in DUST 514 started to be like every other game with Sniper Rifles in it and actually killed in a single headshot, a reduction in range only further increases the Forge Gun's ability as an anti-infantry weapon. However, without being skilled in either of these (regardless of Skill Points invested in the weapons) that's probably to nonspecific for you to understand.
Alas, all this falls on deaf ears for there is much democracy afoot when dealing with hot-fixes, rather than the necessary meritocracy to keep out trolls, flaming posts, and idiots such as IWS.

Why don't you see this?
The logic behind it is indeed the same.
- Ladwar's logic: I am Y, and use X therefore all X users must be Y
- Your logic: All X users are Y
- Logic used in my example: I'm Y, and I use X, so only Y uses X.
They're all the same in the sense that while they aren't worded exactly the same, they all claim that X users (in the case being Snipers) are Y (in the case being "cheap redline sissies"); which is indeed a fallacy. There's nothing to see other than you being unable to form a logical and coherent reason as to why Sniper Rifles shouldn't be viable, while also conforming to a logical fallacy. They really need a troll face. i rarely snipe and thats because of poor map design. I use "cheap" tactics because that's is either the only or most effective. Snipers rarely go 4 the forge towers because its not a viable tactic to use with current mechanics of that weapon.

so egonz is it your intention to be both obtuse and opaque? what is the problem, you can't make up your mind? "all snipers are cheap red line sissies" "red line sniping is a cheap tactic... now if you are not in the red line thats a totally different story"
also "it's a cheap tactic to get lots of kills without risk" i think you mean it's a successful tactic. or are you honestly saying that a decent and true tactic would be to not kill anybody unless you are at risk? i.e you are saying that a cloaked scout with a shotty or nova knives, a tank driver, and ads pilot, any player using proto, any player using full squad tactics,q sync, shoot at another player who's back is turned, etc, etc... are also "cheap sissies"
who exactly isn't then? just the players who solo play in an assault suit and only run headlong into enemy fire?
so in your opinion there are only two types of player, cheap sissies or mouth breathers.
well done sir.. you sound amazingly intelligent.

Whatever. Anyone who get killed that often by redline snipers needs to git gud. I run a slow ass Amarr logi suit crossing open plains all the damn time to drop some links or rejoin the battle after doing so, and it's really rare for a redline sniper to do more than make me grumble under my breath for a few seconds while I respawn.
The redline and any imaginary problems associated with it, is a symptom of the real problem, which is roflmatchmaking and low player counts. If anything done in the redline seriously affects what you do, well, that's a little sad, tbh.

theres this thing called proto stomping....so if that happensexpect your team to be losing lots of proto gear to a thales. use of SR is justified. sniping is a valid option regardless of situation and their not lazy. sniping is harder than it seems.
trying to remain hidden for an entire match while avoiding/countering other snipers and picking off heavies/stragglers eventually running out of ammo.
sniper rifles tend to have 5 shot clips with about 24 ammo spare. most scouts take 2 shots. mediums can take 3-4 and heavies can take more than 5 half the time. not counting in headshots.
and that equipment slot is either rep hive (if their a **** sniper)or a k-2 nano.

Unfortunately the redline isn't going anywhere as far as I can tell.
It's placement has changed a lot since the closed beta but it is unfortunately a necessary evil because of the way the maps were originally, and in my opinion poorly, designed. So without a client update involving a completely new set of maps (not holding my breath on that one), the redline isn't going nowhere.
So any changes to snipers will have to work within those confines.
As IWS already mentioned any buff to the DPS of snipers is likely going to have to come at the cost of range. But there are ways to mitigate that perceived loss that I think may work. For instance, as someone that dabbles in Sniping, I'd personally support a range nerf and maybe even a DPS nerf if the headshot multiplier was significantly boosted to the point where it would be instadeath for pretty much any target except the most heavily tanked heavies.
What also should be taken into account is any possible effect that a possible change to the crosshairs might have. A boost to the headshot multiplier might be very OP if its suddenly much easier to get a headshot in the first place.
But for myself I've always considered it a failure in design if a sniper can hit and kill from one redline to the other. The deepest into their own redline a sniper should be allowed is out of the range of the longest range sidearm but in range of the shortest range light weapon.
If a sniper wants to cover the other as much of the map as possible, then they should have to leave the redline and come out to play

They fix the head glitch and redline sniping is a non-issue. Theoretically, if they can snipe out you can snipe in. The only significant difference between the militia sniper and other snipers is the charged and Thales damage wise. The rest it's a matter of learning to hit the head. Shouldn't be hard since sniping requires the sniper to stand/sit still. Problem arises where they snipe through the crest of a hill with their head (The highest point on their body) fully covered. |

lol, so now the op even admits that he doesn't think he can be killed 5 times in one match to a sniper.
at the same time as saying that they are in a good place and shouldn't be buffed, and at the same time as complaining that snipers don't sit out in the open....
more contradiction.. seriously op do you even look at what you are typing?
1.if you would actually put an open challenge out to all of the snipers in dust, (and i promise you some of the best have seen it) for an isk reward to kill you 5 times in one match you clearly do not believe that they are much of a threat. this shows they are not in a good place.
2. you think that all snipers are using cheap tactics in the red line or other positions that are in your opinion "safe" are being "cheap sissies" whilst openly acknowledging that they don't stand much of a chance within range of light weapons. thus showing that they need to keep their long range aspect.
3. open respect for a player that will waste entire rounds working for the enemy because of his hatred for snipers even on his own team. this doesn't look good for your own credibility.
i genuinely don't know what you are trying to achieve here, you are in such a mad rush to hate on snipers that you are proving our points for us.

Hopefully sniping gets better in regards to ADS i hate the sway and its annoying that the hit detection is terrible. Damage buff not required maybe a little bit. And NO HEADSHOT MULTIPLIER it would make Redline snipers OP

Sounds legit. Yup, at that point might as well just use a scr Rail rifles have a decent range....it just hardly does a spec of damage if they shoot at you.....

nerf the range to that of a rail rifle?
why bother? once again you clearly show that you just want to get rid of snipers completely. as for shooting people at those ranges.. all well and good but you are neglecting to take into account that people play via hip fire and aim assist on here so the sniper will be dead before they get their scope to stop swaying.
also if you insist in that sort of range then i insist one ohk headshots for every suit with every sniper rifle, no sway at all. and the ability to move whilst ads. i'm also going to insist on a hip fire reticule. because you are suggesting they be made into marksmen rifles.
honestly every post is getting worse, just so you know.

I disagree the damage on snipers is far from good enough and snipers should have the highest headshot multiplier out of all weapons.
have you used one in a pc match? try it then say that they don't need a buff. the results you see in a pub match are always from proto snipers against advanced suits. advanced sniper rifles are a joke.

Red line snipers aren't going for head shots generally. If they are it's time consuming. You have to fidget with the controller way more when someone's head is smaller than the dot. If that head shot does land, they were likely standing still and deserved to take the hit.
If you want to fix sniping, consult those who snipe.

Dear OP...
You are a scrub if you're afraid of snipers in this game. Literally every other weapon is more frightening.
Unless you're a scout. Either way, it shouldn't be on your list of priorities unless you've been tagged or killed by one. Then it's simply a matter of noticing where his shots are coming from and finding cover.
If you're a medium or something, use a shield extender. They're great for soaking up that first sniper bullet.
