I love the Update but whats the reasoning behind the sniper nerf?

Its the weapon class thats the most rarely seen in use, and most snipers are regarded as low tier, especially the poor Sentinel.

What is the reasoning behind nerfing them further? And will the snipers receive some buffs in the future?

Also #BuffMirage.

  • @BigBlackCaustic  Too many people got butthurt about chewing lead from 300m away because they can't shoot back.

    Rather than them picking up a sniper and learning to use it, Respawn cater to these players and essentially punish those of us who do snipe with nerfs....not that a little ammo nerf is gonna change anything...just means i'm gonna be carrying one less grenade lol.

    The sentinel needed some work, like to the fact it bugs out your healables...the ability to cancel the alternative fire was literally pointless, i've not tested it yet but i'm pretty sure the battery won't get refunded lol.

    On the bright side the kraber is back to being a face melter on every legend regardless of what they're equipped in. 😛

  • You just answered a question with a question, and an irrelevant one at that lol.

    Care to actually elaborate on your comment? 😛

  • @DeathRaven_1983 Well, yeah sniping is hard to actually kill someone. What do you expect? You shoot them once, they duck and heal. You knock them, they hide and get revived.
    Snipers don’t need to be removed, they are great weapons, just their intended use is a little difficult.
    Also, just removing something from Apex is not the way to go, as Apex doesn’t have much stuff to begin with.

    @Sir_Named I use a sniper to just poke away until they are out of cells and heals. But yeah, getting kills with a sniper is hard
