Scopes

Bipods

Silencers and Muzzle brakes

Prone, Vault, and Cover options in movement***

Tactical vs vanilla.

Cool idea actually.

It's a railgun, dude.

Besides, it's been argued that prone would make sentinels OP, we've already got jumps and we can crouch.

Seems to me the sway when initially bringing up the scope is needed to avoid 'run - scope - headshot' style quickscoping.

The sway when you are already crouched and scoped and trying to move to avoid return fire as you pick off a target is unfair, especially since the range nerf designed to bring snipers closer to the battle.

Would removing the latter and keeping the former help?

there would be more ability to use terrain as a mobility assistance rather than just stuff to bump into such as going over a rail on a catwalk (without myofibs on a fatsuit) to drop onto an enemy.

yeah I know sniper rifles are rail rifles but the concept is there, please for the love of god tell me that there is more than one person on these forums who believes that some sort of present->future tech may actually be possible in Dust.

Good point about the vaulting. It gets silly when a sentinel can't get over an ankle-high girder.
As for the silencer and muzzle brake: Railguns can't be feasibly silenced. The only sound is the projectile itself and the only way to silence it it to reduce projectile speed, use better flechettes or remove the atmosphere. And an open railgun has no gas pressure. There might be other ways to reduce recoil, but a brake wouldn't help at all.

You can already do this by putting a dot in the middle of your screen with a marker.


Nope, sniper needs to be a role made up of a combination of a light suit with bonuses, damage mods and more sp investment in the weapon with third tier skills in order to be respected and not end up being a go to for every Tom, ****, and Harry.


Lol, I feel for people named D*ck. Your name gets filtered.

CCP has fixed some of the dot bit by having wild dispersion when not ads. OH the sniper roles are then already in the CALDARI COMMANDO. faster reload and damage to rail rifles. lol. you can kinda quick scope now but just need some focus and practice. the swap has never really stop my sniping. FYI my record is 57/0/0 and have done this 4 times. stop trying to line up headshot just learn to read how people move and most run or use the same walkways and area to move from place to place.
in my starter sniper suit using militia sniper and killed 33 in a match
