I'm just starting out and I was trying the charge sniper rifle. Is it just me or is the charge time not worth the damage increase? |

Usually the charge is used for headshots since the increased damage is farther magnified by the headshot multiplier. It's more often then not to drop people with a headshot.
As a personal preferance though I perfer the tactical since it's very easy to place multiple rounds on target before they can effectively react.
But yea, that's often what the charge is for. In the hands of a skilled sniper it's a very lethal gun. |

If you want to snipe, better get used to the charge sniper rifle. It was originally planned this build that all snipers rilfes would need to be charged, but it didn't make it in. |

To the OP they are an effective weapon. If you cannot consistently do head shots right now, than follow the other advice and use the Tactical. |

It's 100% worth it. You'll get better damage mods as you get more skill points.
I went 100/0 on my alt in a few hours of play time. He did that in less than 24 hours after creation, so it's not like he had a huge amount of skill points.

The charged sniper rifle lets you kill other snipers. Get weaponry to 5 and you'll unlock the complex damage mods.
Honestly, if I were just starting out on a character that I wanted to play for an extended period of time, I would not be a sniper. Their effectiveness in most corp battles is limited. You shouldn't snipe if it's the only way you can get kills. You'll be much better off in the long run if you improve your gun game. |

@McBob:
that is actually a good use for the Caldari sniper - it should be pointed out that the semi-auto function will likely live on in the Amarr's Scrambler Rifle - but it might have marginally shorter range as a compromise.
I'm also going to guess that Matari will be the third sniper as a bolt-action "artillery" gun with bullet drop physics and incredible damage. But the Matari one is pure speculation on my part. |

Charge snipers are good for those trying to become better snipers.
Take your time to place the shot since every shot counts. Also it teaches you how to conserve your ammo
a good technique with the charge sniper is to keep it charged whenever you feel that you might spot an enemy (even while youre not scoped in). Just remember that if you sprint, the charged round will cancel. |

Charged sniper is good , it's worth to have a charge sniper . But if you like a faster sniper , you should use tactical sniper , you can land couple shot easily . |

Well, it was in the patch notes, so just saying. |
