Getting one shotted by a sniper is getting old. These guys sitting in the red line (another arguement all together) taking pot shots is such a BS tactic. Make it a % of the suit they hit so two shots are required to down an enemy. 3 shots for the tactical. The only one hit kill should be a head shot. I cant complain about a skilled head shot but running a scout suit is even less viable if I get dropped in one hit. If I don't take cover after the first hit I deserve to die.

Perhaps it would take three body shots to drop a heavy and 4 with a tactical. Opinions?

After you get sniped find out where they are and approach with nova knives or remote explosions.

Last time I was killed with a sniper I tracked him down and placed 3 remote explosives around him. It was very satisfying to say the least.

When trying to avoid sniper fire, a good tactic that I often use is to run and then stop for a moment and resume running. I do this till I find cover. If you keep running at the same pace they will lead you, this prevents that somewhat as the sniper compensates when you stop.

"TLDR" because no one else wants to kill the sniper, why should I ?

I'm getting dropped running at full speed. Snipers could get good and start aiming for the head. You already have absolutely no scope sway when crouched. Could we make it easier for these redliners.

Have you tried being a sniper?

Some very good folks can take you out while you jitter at long distance... I can't get the controller to let me do that.

No, I have to get close enough to get a better target -- meaning I'm likely to get spotted and taken out by a high end AR. You might also want to check out the kill page and see if you can spot snipers near the top very often.

They are very rarely near the top and most are red lining. I would consider 5% of all snipers truely skilled. Anyone can get as good as the ones I'm whining about if you spend a day atop a hill and practicing.

We use the tears to clean our gear.

Damn, I've been drinking mine

I also love hunting them down, but I'm argueing the redline mechanic also. I have seen/heard of possibly not giving WP for getting kills and such if you are in the red zone. That would mean zero sniping tanks and make it easier to hunt those snipers. A SR can shoot 3/4 of the map, tough to hunt them down that far into the redline.

I propose that any time we get in a pub match with this guy, we all pull sniper rifles and tear him a new bootyhole, since his old one has been abused so badly by these big bad snipers. It is our duty.

Why is this OP identical to that one?

It DOES mix well with sacremental wine stolen from an Amarrian church...

That's an interesting idea. Would it only be kills FROM the red zone, or also kills TO the red zone? You'd have to institute some sort of mechanic so players know when they're leaving their protected zone.
