Not trolling.

Without a mouse, the SR is the hardest weapon to use in the game.

Huge Sway, Low ammo, Completely vulnerable while firing, and again without a mouse hitting someone who isn't completely still or running in a straight line is almost pushing impossible.

Even if you do manage to hit someone, they shake it off like it was nothing more than a mosquito bite, but this is understandable since in a game like this, Snipers being used as more of a support role to drop shields and finish off the limping survivors makes more sense. More luck is involved with this weapon than any other.

I respect all the non-redline snipers out there, even though your missing 9/10 of your shots, I salute you for sticking with it

Actually winning with the Nova Knives is the most skill-intensive anything in DUST period.

I stand corrected

As for those who say they're killing people with 2 shots. 2 shots is one of the main reasons it's so hard to use. If you hit the guy with the first shot and he survived, you can guarantee he's going to do 1 of 2 things-

1.) Take cover and heal up, making you now have to take 2 more shots to take him down.

2.) Turn to whatever direction you shot him from and start sprint-zig-zagging towards you with a bullet in his chamber that has your name on it. You're going to die

90% of the time the second shot happens just as he registers the damage and comes out of ADS.

He's up to 500m away. I've got a long time to adjust for his slow zig-zag.

I'm higher than he's accounting for or sitting my reticle on where he's going to emerge from cover.

This is a troll thread or OP shouldn't be a sniper.

Or this is a legitimate thread and OP has killed over 1000 snipers with your way of thinking and she decided to give those who use the weapon a little love and respect in the midst of all the "Snipers are worthless" threads.

I don't know im just grasping ar straws here.

Correction the MD is the most skill intensive weapon in the game

Sniping is by far the LEAST skill intensive thing you can do in this game. It's embarrassingly easy.

Show us the 30-0 gameplays of you using the Sniper Rifle. I'd love to see just how easy you make it sound.

You know what I love when im sniping?

People that try to bunny hop. They have such a slow and predictable arch I can nearly always tag them a second time at the apex of their jump.

Also kb/selectable dpi mouse master race checking in.

And on a related note, what do you do when you get a kill as a sniper? When I'm on Chick Chicky Boom I do this dance. I make sure that I ALWAYS do that move with my legs 15 seconds in.


And whenever people get killed by me, I hope they know that I'm doing this dance behind the redline too, because "when I start to dance everything goes chick chicky boom, chick chicky boom."
