Armor piercing rounds seem to me really logical for a sniper rifle. No problem with it. Final round... well... Most sniper need only one bullet for a kill so what's the use of that (apart in pvE against bosses.. maybe) and how can it be seen as a 'game changer'?

  • Not to be an ass, but have you not played a CoD game before? Theres always at least one sniper rifle that has basically unlimited range and is a OHK to anywhere on body. It ks usually the 1st sniper rifle available 1 ohk all day to any body part...shoot someone in toe and it's a kill. Haven't played since Ghosts but I doubt they changed routine that much.

    Yes... I have unfortunately... And That's why I dislike Efrideet's Spear mostly... Nobody wants some "MLG 420 BLZ IT" "Pro"going around and OHK everybody and making them think they have skill. Which they don't. :/ I rarely if ever get killed by these things but I know it's a huge problem within Destiny...

  • Efrideet's spear doesnt get enough ammo to spam final round unless the player's team is good and they have a lot of map control that allows the efrideet's spear user to get tons of special crates... which rarely happen. I use it and my spear has final round. Do I rely on it? No. I dont shoot out my bullets to abuse the perk. I still go for headshots. Final round is more of a backup plan to me, if everything else fails and I know I have one bullet in the mag, I'll go for a sneaky quickscope. Besides, not that many people snipe anyway.

  • Riiiggghhhttt... Because it's hard to go around and collect Special Ammo... Most Final Round users are just cheapasses dude. You may not be one of them so good for you but the fact the many players who have this gun with this exact perk and use said gun to only OHK people isn't really making you Spear Users look too good... I remember buying E-Spear and having good rolls on it and I wanted to make sure and ask for a second opinion, I asked my group and they said "Nah it's not good". I asked them "Wait... Why?" And they said "Because you don't have Final Round"... :///

  • Well, it certainly does take more skill than using shotguns. People who empty out mags for final round get a cheap kill every mag, but they miss out on two kills they could've gotten if they didnt shoot two rounds. It seems like a dumb idea to do that.

  • I feel like Shotguns although they don't take a lot of Skill to use do need a lvl of "balls" to use them. I'm not good with Sniper Rifles I have to say never had been in any PVP FPS Game or even any PVE FPS for that matter. Heh. XD but charging into a room with nothing but a couple of Shells and my melee and taking down around 3-5 people, knowing that at any moment I can die from 1 Super, 2 Melee attacks, 2 Grenades, 1 Shotgun blast, or a couple of shots from their primary but somehow surviving and coming out on up top gives me a huge adrenaline rush. ... Hey listen... Sorry if I was kind of an ass. You seem like a cool guy and thanks for not being one of those cheapos who rely on Final Round for their Sniper Rifles to OHK people man. Like I said I keep my head(And body for that matter) down enough to try and avoid Sniper Fire that Final Round barely effects me but those rare times a player uses them on me and killed me kinda rubbed me the wrong way. Other than that I've nothing else against Snipers, I actually kinda respect Snipers and how precise you guys have to be.

  • It's alright. There is no easy way to fix people who abuse final round. Nerfing special ammo drop would be a bad idea. Reducing final round dmg makes the perk obsolete. All we can do now is suck it up until some genius comes up with a good way to balance it.

  • Hmmm... Make it to where Final Round activates only after getting 2 headshots(or 4 or 5... Depending on how much ammo you clip starts put with.) Better?
