Give me a reason why is auto-sniper still in game? Why not removed?

#1

Okay basically title says it all, im honestly looking for raw honest answer why u think auto sniper shouldnt be removed lol… Even devs were kinda mehy about the sniper in CLASH mode…

Im mainly gonna focus here both modes…

If u ask me auto sniper can stay if they actually (im gonna have to say the N word not the racist one btw)

They will have to nerf the gun hard if it will be allowed to stay if u ask me.

And honestly right now i have no issues with both sniper rifles… as a predator in both modes and as a fireteam member in HUNT

However im againts auto sniper highly in clash cause its basically a no brainer, has no bullet drop, basically is a two shot or 3 shot, laser projectiles lmao… aand out of all that it has no actually big recoil… it may look like it has but it does not.

I wanna focus on about dev stream here, they acknowledged the bugs them self in game and kinda laughed it off as in they plan to sort it out…

They seemed a bit sad and mehy about the sniper rifle…

My only reason why i want auto sniper gone is cause its just so easy to kill predator with it…

And i know u all probably thought of i was gonna bitch about predator being shit with current cloak but nah actually im having fun on both sides!

However i will dedicate yet another week for playing fireteam only and testing new changes and also so far the auto sniper is still actually highly OP againts predator…

Works just a little too well with the mud… gives u a fair amount of time to get in a place on map to blend in and just harm pred a few times before he notices u… which will send him to like fairly low HP or even second wind… if lucky and u have good aim u can still fk his mask up…

I mean we all know that by now dont we…

Now all i want to hear is the REASON why u want to keep this weapon in game.

Could you say exactly which gun is the auto sniper? Even if you just use the term say 3rd sniper rifle then I’d know what gun your talking about like are you talking about the GOSLR

Sawz-50

the one that deals basically stomps and is pure devestation xD

Because sniper is a valid play style. That’s it for me. I don’t run one very often.

Don’t have strong feelings about it on Clash but I’ve been doing ok against it. Haven’t really had an issue.

#7

Really? i just might have to do a video about it lol… i had like 50 kills in the game lmao with the sniper in clash… its basically just unfair gun if u ask me…

I thought about what the nerf should be for it…

Maybe an overheat of some sort, and then it gets jammed?

Idk…

First i gotta ask…WTF is auto sniper? Is this some kind of bot? AI?

#9

I would assume the reason being. It gives a FT (albeit I would probably be willing to concede perhaps more than one person shouldn’t be able to equip the same sniper rifle as it gets a bit absurd if say 3 of them have it) a means to deal with long range predator play as they can harass the predator preventing optimal engagement when done well as it forces the predator to play slower and attempt to focus the sniper or get him out of position which intern is problematic as if we assume there is communication between the ft then the predator is forced to engage with most if not all of the ft at once
As for in clash specifically it’s really the same reason forces slower engagement on the other FT

This is the best argument I could give for why the gun exists in the game in it’s current form

Like I said, it hasn’t been an issue, haven’t got spawn camped either, so maybe I’m just luck. I tend to flank snipers anyway, no point in giving them an easy kill, when they can be my easy kill.

Semi auto sniper*

#12

What the hell does auto have anything to do with it?

#13

I mean from what i hear out of that is…

Regular sniper rifle the one that deals same damage but has one shot and then reload before firing would do the same thing and damage?

#14

Huh? its a term in military and gun industry…

Semi auto sniper means u can pull the trigger and keep shooting until ur mag is empty…

With the right perks the sniper can be a beast, his concern is warranted. I just see it as valid.

I’m more concerned about grenades messing up my frames to be honest. So many explosions sometimes.

Effectively yes but keeping up the pressure would be considerably more difficult if each shot for example had let’s say 7 seconds in between them

and im fairly certain

Bolt = shoot and reload
semi auto = fire until empty mag then reload

Ok i get that, yeah to keep pressure its fine, but is it fair that it basically deals same amount of damage as the one that fires one bullet at the time with a reload?

Like then we dont have to keep the one thats the regular sniper rifle xD (jokes ofc but with a reason and truth behind)

Like what worries me is people will figure out the meta in CLASH which is just using 2XL (REVOLVER) or the SAWZ (semi auto sniper rifle)

and again… i think its fair to say there should be some sort of realistic limitation to the gun, like its either that it overheats or it has less bullet in its clip… so instead of 5 bullets u get 3… and if u keep firing and reloading the barrel overheats.

#19

I mean all of that makes sense but then again… damn man the semi auto one is just literally a no brainer and u need no skill to play it… hence why i proposed sort of body anatomy hitbox to where if u just plan to hit predators foot or legs the gun does less damage lmao…

Im pretty sure @Lazycollinator has a good reason up his sleeve why the semi auto sniper rifle should still exist in the game ;)
