How about a single shot bolt action rifle like the long shot from gears? I personally think it would be sick. They have higher rate of fire auto rifles and the high impact auto rifle. Thoughts ,input?
I would really like to get this to the dev team, I can't be the only one on here yearning for a bolt action.
We hit the trending page.
Any ideas on how to balance the slow reload speed? And if it was in game would you use in crucible or pve only?
Ok so getting a couple replies saying I go should play cod for that. Well if I wanted to play cods broke ass multiplayer I would. I like the crucible and I like the idea of the bolt action rifle. Instead of saying that you hate cod why not reply with ways to balance it to keep from being a quick scope one hit noob fest. Thanks have also gotten some great ideas and even a sister thread! Keep it up lets get this on Deejs radar and the dev teams.
People keep brining up the no land beyond. I have feeling this rifle gonna play more like a mosin Nagant than a sniper or its gonna feel like slower scout rifle because of the iron sights. Idk what are your thoughts? My biggest thing is I loved the long shot in gears of war. It was a single shot hardcore death machine. Not saying its gotta be a copy and paste I just want to see the same concept of a rugid bolt action sniper.

Im looking forward to the exotic rocket launcher, dragons breath

They will have one of these, Exotic Primary Sniper "No Land Beyond"

Edited by daurbantiger: 11/24/2014 10:43:42 PMGood idea have the impact of the ice breaker More stability (but not equal to the raid sniper of P&T) and a slower reload. And call it the lighting bolt.

As destiny is set in the far future, with advanced alien tech too, how about some really imaginative, futuristic weapons for once!
-
Just saw the first 3D Image of No Land Beyond, check it out. It looks absolutely like the sniper weve been looking for!

Edited by JohnBears: 11/23/2014 10:59:51 PMGiven how much damage a sniper rifle does, i don't think giving it the same rate of fire as an auto rifle would be very balanced. As it stands now my sniper does 5900 damage to the vital points of a boss and my auto rifles does 250 to the same point. If my sniper had the same fire rate as an auto rifle boss fights would be over in less then 30 seconds. I do not think this is a good idea, however i would love the ability to carry more sniper ammo. I think that style of sniper wold be fun.

The new sniper exotic is a primary bolt action
-
I've heard the new heavy weapons in the dlc is a rail gun. Pretty much a 1 shot kill sniper
-
No. Go to CoD for that bs
-
Sounds terrible
-
Given the tight map design and favoritism to quick fire over accurate fire in this game, it is pretty unlikely that gun would have much of a chance in PvP unless it did a OHK to the body. It could be useful in PvE as a secondary and would own the mid to long range if it had high enough damage (impact).
-
I keep a common level 13 Candace-B around just because it has the highest impact of any sniper I've found, and yearn for the day I can get a bolt action finger of an angry God.
-
As long as it's not a breach shot
-
-
They are making a new bolt action sniper rifle called land beyond
-
If you're looking for another one shot kill weapon in crucible, go home. If not, I don't think it would be terrible idea
-
Edited by TheKungLao: 11/23/2014 5:58:45 PMThat sounds cool! How about a lever action rifle for a primary. It could be old west style like the Last Word.
-
Sounds like a pretty good idea, I would like to see it implemented. Make it a one-hit-kill bodyshot in Crucible to balance? Keep the reload fast but not too fast.
-
Call it "pow right in the kisser" Too long?
