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...

@EdwardDLuffy I would love if people could actually use snipers in this game without putting your own squad at a disadvantage. Thats what snipers do. They’re too inconsistent to be useful.
Whats the point when you can just run in with a r301 and kill everyone point blank. Whats a sniper gonna do about that? Nothing.
And you may say, whats a r301 gonna do against a sniper at long range. Nothing, but neither is the sniper because all the r301 player has to do is not stand still and it makes the sniper 10x harder to hit. It takes 3 hits to get killed by a sniper, plenty of time to hide behind cover, heal up. All while a sniper cant do anything. They’re irrelevant weapons and need reworking to be more consistent. I am SICK of the same weapons being dominant. The devs can rotate weapons in and out of drops as much as they want. Doesnt change the fact that the same weapons are always dominant.

@RockScorpion384 They're situational. I only ever really snipe at third party fights. They're good for people who are 'hiding' from another fight to heal. They are also good for hitting people who are hiding in buildings but too close to a window.
I certainly don't find it 10x harder to hit a moving target with a sniper. I've lost count of the number of enemies I've sniped while they are running at full speed.
If it's a 3v3 fight I am in there with an assault rifle. There's no way I'm going to leave my team 2v3 so I can snipe.
BTW as a Fuse main if I hit you with a sniper and you go hide to heal expect the delivery of the knucklecluster, a 'nade or the motherload pronto :D
