Is it me or are snipers just bad?
Theyre so useless. Way too hard to hit someone with the shot. Why is there both travel time and drop off on the shot??? It makes it so inconsistent at hitting anyone. And then when you do it does lik...

thats why no one uses snipers in game? Lol. Face it theyre badly balanced weapons. They should be easier to hit shots with. Theres no reason to have both a drop off and travel time. 1 would suffice. Other games with snipers have 1 or even none of those things. Its just a way to make the guns inconsistent. Instead of allowing people who can aim to get value out of them the devs add artificial difficulties which makes them
suck.
Every game is filled with the same 5-8 weapons because the other 15+ are useless. No one uses mozambique or re45 or p2020 or sentinel or ..... it goes on. If 2 players 1v1, 1 has a r99, the other a p2020 who’s gonna win? And thats why weapon balance is garbage
@RockScorpion384 I disagree (as you might have guessed). You need to become skilled with a sniper to compensate for the drop off time and travel time. Also, you need to know about each sniper - Kraber and Charge Rifle have low drop off, Longbow & Sentinel medium and TT high. The best sniper users are those - who just like real life - who can factor in time, drop off and wind (not a thing in Apex lol) to become good at using them. The game is about rewarding skill.
Snipers can be used as shotguns too. I've had a couple of squad wipes on drop with a Longbow. Just yesterday I knocked a BH at melee distance with a TT.
(BTW the clip was not meant to impress - it was meant to amuse. Poor bloke spends all that time in his shield, sorts out his inventory, wanders off with plans in his head ... and gets killed ...)
