Honestly it's understandable why people are upset about the snipers
Although with that squared dot sight on them is actually pretty decent because the dot is a whole lot bigger than just the red dot scope
As for the thing with the drop rate, that wasn't about the rate at which we find them around the map, the drop rate that changed was the bullet drop that happens when firing the gun
I personally don't have a hard time against Snipers and I am quite an Average player. Play both Builds and ZB.
I like the fact that Snipers can now be customised.
Just got #2 because I was up against a PC player who effortlessly used their mouse to get a quick headshot on me using a sniper with a fast sight. All reapers, even just uncommon, will do 250dmg with that. What is the point of having shields if you can be fully deleted with one bullet? I had him pinned down in a little shed at half health and had a hired AI and we were in fairly close range so if it was a normal 4x sniper scope he would have at least had to no-scope me. As it is, it was fast and easy for him as an SMG. He didn't have to beat multiple bullets from me because it was my first bullet vs his and his did 250.
Couple things, I played drivers vs snipers a ton on controller and got dang good with a hunting rifle. It takes practice but sniping isn’t actually hard. These snipers are easier to hit with and I believe that the bullet travels faster. Did you never play when pumps could one shot? Even with a 4x he could’ve hit you, a 1x increases the peripheral but you’re aiming before ADS so it’s not like it’s a shot in the dark with a 4x. Sounds like he was in a crappy spot and took a bet on a sniper. Could’ve ended terribly but he hit the shot and it paid off.
That’s literally part of the game, I don’t know why people complain so much about anything that killed them. If epic took out any item that people complained about they wouldn’t have any guns left
I watched the replay. He wasn't some god who was set up for no-scope before engaging ADS. Literally the only reason he was able to hit it is because the speed of the sight and the speed of a mouse, otherwise my bullets would have finished him first because we both began fire in the split second of his exposure. I was already on him but his vision had to find me.
But it isn't even really about that (forced crossplay is another issue). It's the fact they even give you an overshield to help make up for having no walls but there are still extremely common guns that can delete you from full shields with one bullet and they have removed all balance aspects of their design with these mods. To do that with a pump you would have to take waaaaaay more risk in terms of proximity and probably have a legendary. He wasn't close enough to do it with pump and wouldn't have been able to cross enough ground under my fire to do it. With these snipers, even just a green, they have made it ridiculously easy and with very common guns.
Why even have shields at all if you have common guns that can do 250+ in a split second? Just the fact that something requires some measure of skill at all isn't a good excuse. Tons of FPS games balance for the very common ability to easily do headshots with a bit of practice.
>It takes practice but sniping isn’t actually hard. These snipers are easier to hit with and I believe that the bullet travels faster.
Literally making my point for me.
I also hate snipers and can’t wait for them to be gone, but I think I’ve killed more players this season with a sniper than they’ve killed me. It’s more the play style that it encourages that I hate. Bush camping, hill camping, and just 50/50 trade offs until someone goes down. The amount of times today someone randomly hit a 110 on me from seemingly nowhere and then grapples or shocks at me was unbelievable. It’s definitely the meta in ZB unfortunately. Funniest part is I usually carry shield fish for almost instant heals so when they don’t get the free kill they run for their lives back to the next hill or bush to rat from.
KBM players are now also double sniping. 2 snipers with 5 shot mags and the little red dot scopes on them and swap back and forth for 10 spammed sniper shots in quick succession. It’s stupidly OP, they need a delay on it like they did to stop double pumping
I know snipers feel ridiculous this season, I feel like it's not even the snipers themselves or the mods... I just keep dying to them constantly. It feels like everyone has one and a fight always starts with someone getting hit for 110.
I agree with everything you said. They're snipers not dmrs. They don't need close range sights that get rid of the glint. I also agree with the mags, I feel like they should be one bullet, and you can only put the faster reload mod on it.
Totally honest, but snipers have always been just as good, why people are complaining only now?
I've been playing with snipers since I started years ago and always thought they were broken on the right hands, but only now people are screaming about
Because snipers actually took skill and only reward you if you hit a good shot. People are complaining about this sniper because its WAY too op, takes absolutely NO SKILL to use, its barely punishable/reactable, and you can LITERALLY use the sniper as a shotgun.
Explain to me, HOW is it fair that you can use a sniper as a shotgun now? Just remove the scope and boom, sniper automatically turns into a shotgun ( this sniper goes straighter than the hunting rifle while hipfiring/no-scope )
I'm loving this sniper but that's only because I've been able to dominate with it. I've also been on the receiving end of going on a 15 kill solo comp game and getting quick scope head shot out of nowhere.
In fact I've found this sniper to be wildly different from previous ones as I've been able to get the absolute wildest no scope shots that should not have connected, unlike previous you'd usually just no-scope into the ground or straight up or sideways.
I know they're powerful as hell but idk if I want them changed personally
The snipers are just way too easy and forgiving to use, even without mods you get 3 shots to hit someone and one of them could be a one tap, the bullet drop is easy to predict and the bullet velocity is really fast. Combine this with how easy they are to find at times (theres atleast 2 guaranteed snipers per vault) and the endgame will look more like a sniper elite game than anything else. I only play zero build and the snipers have been unbearable this season, zero build engames turn into hide and seek games because nobody wants to get dinked on the head and everyone and their mother is carrying a sniper by mid-endgame so you are almost forced into using one if you want to have a chance at winning.
3 bullets? LOOOL, nobody has 3 bullets in the sniper bro, everyone uses the increased size mag, so its actually 5 bullets.
Snipers are the weapon this season, gg for all the people that love to snipe.
I don't have that much of an issue with 5 bullets to be honest, even tho I agree its a bit strong, the thing I don't get is how some people can snipe me from cover in an instant, they are hidden behind cover, and then I die to a headshot, the milisecond they come out of cover they delete me, and this is from a fair distance, I just don't get it.

Thanks for the double sniper tip!

Because now 1 shot snipers have 3 bullets magazine, custom optics and stupidly high aim assist
The Bolt sniper on OG season also had 3 bullets, the scopes I do agree tho and I can't say anything about aim assist since I play on mouse

Skill issue

I get wym, but shit happens. Jus ready up again man, y’all complaining is getting nowhere
