There is nothing to counter a sniper other than snipers? You live under a rock??? Guns like bygones, right side of wrong, chattering bone. Those are all pulse, I repeat, pulses that can cross map on every single map in d2. This is not including any scout rifles, or the good old g Lance. Even if you sit in the farthest back of any map with a sniper, all of these weapons can, and will beat you. No one uses snipers, even top sniper players don't use snipers. This clearly points to snipers needing an adjustment in d2. Ammo economy, flinch, scope zoom options and so on. I want to viably use a sniper hand cannon or sniper side arm combo. Currently I can, however it means putting myself at a huge disadvantage, and same for anyone else wishing to do so. Choosing snipers should not mean choosing a handicap.

I've seen people use them plenty fine. As typical as this sounds "git gud". I've had my head torn off while peppering a sniper with bygones plenty of times in the last few days. Last thing destiny needs again is last word and mid range snipers running rampant. Was the most irritating combo imaginable and clearly you were one of them lol. I'll agree with the pulses though, they shouldn't be able to outgun snipers unless the sniper is really bad. However I think scouts are fine, they are basically the equivalents of DMRs which are a faster firing less impactful snipers. How ever snipers shouldn't be viable even on cqc maps. Just like some of the more open maps shouldn't mean that shotguns are super viable. If I wanna use shotguns in those kinda maps I gotta pick my engagements and stick to the enclosed areas. No gun should be low risk low skill required high reward.

The fact that you can't beat a sniper with a bygones means maybe u should get good there chief

I can, the majority of the times I do. However it still happens. Because guess what not everyone's shit with a sniper lol. Just like I'm sure you still kill people who are rushing you with a shotty.
