Either the aiming on the sniper rifles needs to be smoother or they need to do more damaged. From what I can tell none of the sniper rifles can get a 1 shot kill... even with head shots. Given the rickerty aiming u get with the sniper rifle, compiled with the lag makes it a pretty aweful weapon. Considering the makes are so large I think snipers need a bit more love. |

Though they are improving the sights and sway (not to mention giving scouts a cloaking device) as far as I know none of the sniper rifles will ever be a one shot kill unless they do some sort of head shot modifier increase skill for sniper rifles. You are there to take the enemy out of installations, prevent/harass ambushes, kill other snipers, and soften oncoming troopers for the front line.
Basically you tear the shields off - that's more important than you think. Armor has a lower damage mitigation than shields which seem to have a bit of damage resistance inbuilt, though that might be due to the fact we're all using projectile ammo. |

I can understand that with the weaker sniper rifles that can fire relatively quick sucessive rounds, but the sniper rifle that needs to be charged up needs to pack more of a punch.
With having to charge the rifle before firing you are forced to track your target before firing... this is all well and good except:
- You dont do that much damage considering the effort required.
- Because of the charge time you are only going to be able to drop 1 target every few seconds.
- The lag and jerkiness of the controls makes it very difficult to track a target.
- Being expected to charge the rifle, track the target, and then get a decent hit - TWICE on the same person to get a kill is a little unreasonable.
Why can't they make the charging sniper rifle more powerful but increase the charge time so that you cant pick multiple targets off to quickly? Atleast that way the sniper will have more of a use in dust. |

If you aim for the head you CAN get a OHK with the Charge Sniper Rifle. Though it is certainly not all that comfortable to charge the rifle before you fire, the effort needed is ok if you can drop people with one shot. Fitting more armor and/or shield seems to help not getting oneshotted though, there were some mercs still standing after getting a headshot. If this happens it is indeed hard to get that follow up shot. |

My goodness players PLEASE look at your available skills and allocate skill points into the sniper rifle and the small weapon categories before making such foolish assessments of this game. I get One shot Kills regularly and I don't even have Sniper proficiency yet, so you are all doing it wrong. Learn how the game is played and quit assuming it is COD with a SciFi skin. |

I get OHKs against scout suits, often without even a headshot, depending on how they are fit. I get some OHKs against Assaults, but only rarely without a headshot (I assume the few that I do get without a headshot are untanked or very lightly tanked militia suits), and once in a blue moon I'll get a OHK on a heavy with a headshot, but that is extremely rare. Note that I use the charge sniper rifle, the highest damage variant, and that I have three 10% damage mods fitted (although nobody is entirely sure those even work), Weaponry IV, and Sniper Rifle IV, so I have quite a few things invested in getting my damage maxed out, and if I take fire, I'm pretty much toast, even in the prototype suit. |
