Hey all , so I haven’t got any beta key yet but I was wondering how the sniper class is? Since in most FPS games I love to snipe quickscope… u know. So is it also possible in this game? Thanks in advance

So i have played it today , uhmm got a short question about the sniper (default) though. It seems to tank quite alot , I’ve never gotten a 1hit kill , unless it’s a headshot but sniping someone real quick and actually hit their head is kinda hard. So is it possible to get better snipers that deal more dmg later on?

just start your training and get some skill… we dont need to make every game easy what everyone hit everything
its realy OK if some skill is needed
for me… dont make it more easy… make it harder … yes I’m on of the players with low shooting skills but this doesnt matter. i have no problem getting kille by someone with more skill… i hate it more to get killed by some lucky boys …

This is a feature, not a bug
The game is about headshots and practice. Try a different class or two, you might find you like the fast upgrades a medic can get you

Yeah it can be difficult but having rifles that one hit kill on a non headshot, in my opinion wouldn’t fit. Its really for filling to start nailing guys knowing its due to aim not just an OP gun.

I never understood the mentality of people who play exclusively snipers in video games.
It’s like a whole class of people who dislike being challenged.

That’s not worth quitting over mate! Two shots dead, its not like you have to do a long reload after each shot. (Although, I would like to see a gun that can 1 shot but you just have long reload after each one…) Acquire nothing but head shots and you will love this game.

I like sniping alot, Splash Damage did a great job on balancing the sniper class, most of the games have instant kill sniper which in my opinion are way over powerd.

First I’d like to say that I enjoy the feel of all the sniper rifles that I’ve played with thus far. They sound nice and have a nice look with accurate scopes and that’s a huge plus. I also want to point out I’m fairly awful at shooters but I enjoy the sniper class. I know I’m probably going to get the usual “get good and headshot” response but I feel frustrated when I keep hitting people and they don’t die I know I’m hitting them it’s not like I’m missing. The time between shots does not allow for me to be evenly matched with any other class; I hit someone and they’re at 50% but now I’m dead because of the amount of time it takes to be able to take another shot. Headshots are possible if people stand still; but there’s a lot of classes that move so fast that it’s not likely to happen. If it’s too much to ask for a damage buff; Maybe decrease the delay between shots? Thanks for any kind of response; good or bad. Also thanks for giving me a key for this beta, I die a lot but it’s a lot of fun!

one-hit-killing sniperrifles will hopefully never come into this game. ever.
They just remove the entire “skill” of sniping.
this game is not the best (bc. heavily p2w, pay4convenience. You can either pay some $, or grind for more than 5-6 months while always getting stomped by veterans, because the matchmaking-system is broken.
But this guy is a good sniper: w ww.youtube.com/watch?v=MSaUKSH0SE4 You might wanna take a look at him. He’s almost constantly aiming for headies)

If you unscope between shots, you will reload the rifle faster, or at least it feels that way, try it : )

The most effective Snipers in this game I’ve seen are the ones who can recognize when they need to leave a perch and go help their teammates on the front lines and who CONSTANTLY THROW SENSOR BALLS.
You have a secondary gun that is extremely effective when wielded with skill.
When close… Hit torso, swap weapons, finish them off. Throw sensor at OBJ to support team, rinse and repeat.
The thing about their gun is you can do the same thing when you’re far off, too.
Don’t underestimate the importance of getting an enemy down to below 50% health as they are running into a close quarters battle. Assists are good for the team.
Just ask any Point Guard in the NBA. The point is to win… not to have a 25/1 KDR as a sniper.
Unless you’re just a non-team oriented player… which half of the snipers seem to be.
DON’T BE THAT GUY.

I am fine with assists; but I would kinda like for them to show up in scoreboard (KDA)

The one shot to the body kill sniper rifle is the thing of bain in every video game. It is an has forever been one of he most unbalanced “features” of any game. Even in the CS games where you must save a lot of money to buy the rifle it is still unbalanced, let alone putting it in a game such as DB where you spawn with your prime gun from the start.
Putting a sniper in the back ground to peak out here and there is a great way to get enemies down to half health before they go into a battle which helps out the rest of the forward team immensely. The scanner is alao immense in many situations but you have to think of the sniper as a support in most cases and not your main killer.
It surprises me how many people come to the forum and havnt played the game or played very little of DB or related team based games and ask “why isnt this gun more like in this game”. Well bc its a different game that requires different skills.
