Nerf Sniper Rifles

#1

I play both Predator and Fireteam (more Fireteam because queue times are smaller lol) and from both perspectives the sniper rifles are way too good

They got practically infinite range and TONS of damage, which lets them quickly wittle down a Predator from a distance sometimes so big that the Predator can’t retailate properly, which makes them low risk but high reward weapons

I have a very simple suggestion on how to nerf the Sniper rifles and make them a risky but rewarding weapon to use:

Add a laser sight on them.

Similar to Yautja’s Plasma Cannon, Sniper Rifles should have a laser sight which would give away that particular Fireteam’s position and firing line while also alerting the Predator that he is in the sights of a really powerful weapon

To kill the hunter predator it takes about 20 hits with the abr-z, about 8 hits with the 7en, and about 4 hits with the sawz-50. You’re standing still too much if you think these weapons are too strong.

If you nerf snipers, they will all just move to the ar-w and gosl-r, and, honestly, you’ll probably have an even harder time as the predator.

Or keep moving and don’t allow time for a sniper to keep popping you. When there’s a sniper, it’s best to spend more time on the ground in cover than up in the trees where you can be spotted easily and sniped.

ZIG ZAG! ZIG ZAG!!
Be sporadic. Strafe from side to side, jump around, you may not be able to help if they shoot at you, but you dont have to make it easy for them…

Thats why when i play fire team. Even when the group is stopped for some reason(like to hack a terminal or something) i never hold still.
I strafe around and fidget so if the Pred is drawing back its bow or something, i’m not the easy target… lol
