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.

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.
