Obvious statistic is obvious. 1000-Yard is one of the most readily available snipers. It's also in the revive-snipe impact tier and has decent aim assist.
Even the one you get given to you from the quest has Shortgaze, arguably one of the top 3 scopes in the game, you can't go wrong really.
i sharded the one from the quest the one i have now has a really bad roll whereas my trials sniper has hidden hand and performance bonus it also has 2 of the top scopes in the game so i'm using that for now. i got a triple (all headshots) with it yesterday in trials within about 2 seconds that high fire rate is so deadly you can 2 body shot too in a ridiculously quick fashion. the only down side is no revive snipe but that's no biggy if you push and nade the orb or get someone else to watch it with you.
i've heard good things about hereafter is it? but I've never used it tbh, probably a waste of an exotic slot is probably why.
i think the shotgun nerf is coming because they don't take much skill to use and they are now gearing the game more towards skill (making thorn obsolete).
i played against "oakshone" (we actually beat him) i think he's well known and we were carrying a guy with a terrible k/d below 0.6 i believe whereas his team consisted of him 3.0 k/d his friend with a 2.5 k/d and the worst player had a 1.5 k/d on his side. it went down to the final round and we won 5-4 most intense game i've ever played. nothing equals the rush of winning a game like that.
then came up against a guy called "jacob" the following day and his team destroyed us 5-1 him and his 2 friends were ridiculous at sniping and losing to a team like that you just have to take your hats off to them.
You know, I was running with Defance of Yasmin in IB, you lose a little impact but the fire rate makes that much difference to pop off 4x multiple head shots when the sheep are all stacked together
I'm torn between 1000 yard stare and Defiance of Yasmin as my go to sniper when Black Spindle is not equippable due to other exotics.
I wonder how long it is until we see fusion rifles become the meta again!
100 yard stare > defiance imo and it's not even close in my book
i'm hoping a decent one drops for me soon, but i'm doing well enough with the trials sniper.
Vendor roll for 1000 yard is good enough too be honest, and revive snipe > everything else. If your playing hunter Still is also a great sniper and it has snapshot, only issue is the scope is unique so I rather not get used too it.
my hunter hasn't completed TTK, i'm titan main with warlock alt.
sadly i've left my hunter to rot.
in the next dlc though, i may switch to 3 warlocks (controversial) but I really like the warlock nades (axion and firebolt).
I got a triple in trials the weekend before last because i primed them with a firebolt when they were all grouped up and my auto rifle (doctrine) just shredded all 3 in a row. i was the last one alive too (had just self res'd after the other 2 went down) so i clutch'd that round purely because of the nade.
imo nades are just as important as supers especially when running voidfang vestments, etc that make the axion OP. i naded over the wall every round this weekend when spawning on the tanker side and it totally messed up every teams sniping game bar "jacob" and crew. you can use the seeker as a target to follow as they run around trying to avoid it worked a treat. or every time you are revived and are being pushed you just throw a nade at the ground or in front of you and let the seekers do the rest.
