I was shocked to hear Snipers were going to get nerfed. I thought they would get a buff if anything considering how weak they seem.
If they get a damage nerf I suggest the Tactical Variant get a RoF buff. The Snipers are easily the least feared class in this game.
I think Snipers are not right until you hear some people whine that they are OP. The Charged Sniper should hit a lot harder considering it needs the charge. That or have a higher level variant of the Charged Sniper that does hit a lot harder. i think the Charged Sniper should hit like a light Forge Gun almost.
I guess its hard to say though until we see the Laser Riffles and what they are like. maybe they are a faster long range riffle like I am suggesting the Tactical needs to be. |

Hello and greetings my good sir have you perhaps not put SP into Sniping I hear It helps quite a bit at making sniper rifles not suck. |

I am not really a sniper. i just notice they are hardly ever being used. Also I have talked to people who are great snipers who use it and say its terribly weak. I have just started trying it and have it at lvl 4 right now.
Its not useless, it just seems like it could use some work. Things like the tactical having a very small clip size, and slow RoF for being a tactical sniper.
This issue could be fixed though if that is what the laser Riffles are going to be.
I just find it funny that my squishy little Scout suit can survive a Sniper shot from the Charged Sniper. Sure I have my shields maxed out, but its a high powered Sniper. i should be dead. |

My peev about the sniper is the zoom. the zoom in the first sniper is way too weak. I felt like i was squinting just to see my target. when I got to the tactical, the zoom felt too close.
I think the first sniper should have a closer zoom range, and the tactical to have 2 zoom settings in it instead of one. it would make surveying the battle field quicker.
snipers seem to feel weak, because you may be shooting people with max out or upped skills in armor/shields. |

No, I've got sniper rifle op at 5 and some in the proficiency and with full complex light damage mods and an ishukone sniper I still need 5+ shots on a heavy to kill him and at least 2 on everything but a scout or militia assault suit. I don't want to one shot everything but seriously, anyone without at least one tank mod should die in 2 hits at the most. |

I ave nearly maxed shields, and that may be why I find them weak. Very good point.
I like the idea about Tactical having 2 zoom settings. That is something they have been missing.
Snipers should always be feared a bit. Right now they are not. |

snipers arent weak if u know how to fit them
my assault proto suit got one shot from my clans sniper via a headshot with him using his proto sniper
damage is fine, what they need is some tweaks with scope sway/crouch mechanic and different zoom lvls on some of them tbh |

What do you think about a slight RoF increase for the Tactical? Keep the damage the same, just allow a slightly faster followup shot.
At low skills that will just get very inaccurate, but at higher skills that second shot coming quicker may help.
Also what about a bigger clip size for the Tactical? |

And just when i got sniper ops to L5:( 2 shots to kill an assult suit troop with the charge rifle is fine to me and the only problems i see with snipers is the sway (which can be negated by the proficiency skill so i dont really care) and the stupid crosshairs that blend in with the background.
The only time id use a tactical snipe is if my proficiency skill was max and i could but that 100RPM to good use at longrange near the objective instead of chillin miles away with e charge rifle. |
