You, sir, have failed miserably.

Agreed i tried sniping vs reapers gold yesterday and i couldnt one shot a husk with no headsht with a Widow X they need a big damage buff & anti-shield gate

[Tymathee]

sniper rifles are fine, my favorite none infiltrator weapon is the Viper, and if i'm an infiltrator, i use that one rare gun with 3 shots, i forget the name.

theres no issues with sniper rifles, you just suck.

LOL...."failed" according to whom?  What Sniper user doesn't have some kind of "help"?  Sure I could do as much damage with another weapon, but then I wouldn't be able to headpop an enemy across the map when the other players can't even see them.  The joy of getting that perfect headpop on the phantom that isn't even close. 

Did it ever occur to anyone that people use SRs for the "joy" of sniping?  If it's all about the stupid scoreboard, people should be playing another game.

I'm pretty sure the Kishock still ignores shield-gate and armor damage reduction.  It was the headshots against bosses that was removed.

[Kasrkin]

I think the single shot sniper rifles DO need a bit of a buff. They really aren't useful on non-infiltrators.

As it is, any infiltrator will take any weapon and make it better. That is the nature of the class.

The question is; how will Bioware make sniping useful on non-infiltrators while still keeping a semblance of balance?

Let me think about it.
A GI with Claymore/Piranha kills in Platinum without any help of grenades or powers, while a Black Widow needs support from Arc Grenades or Energy Drain? Hm...
You, sir, didn't get the point here and through this, you fail. Hard.

The Valiant is fine.

[RamsenC]

People sticking up for sniper rifles think about this. You can't one shot anything with protection and you can't burn down bosses with the best of them. That means snipers are poor against mooks and bosses. Having poor burst damage and poor dps != good weapon. Most good weapons have one or the other (sometimes both).

One upside to snipers is they can equip damage weapon mods everytime.

Why do people have so much trouble with cloak, 80% enemies can't spot me unless I cloak right in front of them.

[tonnactus]

Seems like multishot sniper rifles like the indra are still viable:

You are right TC .. I use to be sniper, not I put a scope on a AR and changed classes.

Its still the point in ALL games HEADSHOTS 1 hit kill! Shield gate is boring and no fun to play with.
This game should have been like call of duty zombies. More enemies of the weaker type rushing you

Primes should also take headshot damage but the head should be covered by 2-3 armored plates that need to be knocked off with a power with enough force (calling for team work)

You're the type of person that would build a combat robot and then put the central processing unit in the head part, instead of the heavily armored torso.

Aren't you?

"aim for the optics" I guess she was just saying that for no reason.

The Indra is, by and large, the best SR atm.

DPR has always been highest for that.  Piercing and EB are great for it.

GI's work very well with that puppy.

Um, the GI would be helped by Tactical Cloak and probably Proximity Mine, which are both powers. Just going for straight up shotgun damage is not an efficient way to use any class.

Anyway, sniper rifles are not useless; far from it. But they just do not compare to the shotguns. Once again, here's a compilation of reasons why the sniper rifles could use a change, plus suggestions for improvement:

I finally got my black widow, but I'm finding that my level VI widow seems more effective/powerful. Am I doing it wrong or what?

[ZachNyeScienceGuy]

Kishock ignores shield gate, Krysea is still decent, Valiant is good, Indra is fine, I'm sure the Black Widow is fine too, it's only the single shots that don't ignore shield gate that have no use, the infiltrator is still one of the best classes out there. When they give headshot bonuses back to bosses than the single shots will be more useful.

not this again...

You can replace the GI with SI, MQI, FQI, even HI makes sense. You don't get the point, do you? Then stop posting nonsense.

Thats why they gave us four difficult levels.

[capn233]

Sniper rifles still work on infiltrators so they aren't "completely" useless.

Well, some of them work.
