GBO2 GM Sniper II: Leg breaking sniper!
ฝัง

- This video contains two recent matches I had with the LV1 and LV3 GM Sniper II on Gundam Battle Operation 2. It is a 400-550 cost support with a fast cooldown primary stun, great leg breaking ability, balancer skill alongside a beam saber, nice walking speed and long range on the rifle. Its weaknesses would be a complete lack of stun accumulation, low damage, slow boosting speed despite its closer up playstyle and an absolutely tiny projectile on the rifle which makes it hard to aim. This suit is given a lot of flack in the community and for good reason, especially considering how much stronger 400 cost supports have gotten. But if you can resist the urge to snipe at max range with this thing and instead follow alongside allies to help break legs and assist with stuns then it can actually perform okay sometimes. My aim with suits like these aren't the greatest but I think I was able to show off how the suit is best played. I hope that you enjoy watching!
The GM Sniper II can choose between a sniper rifle, bullpup machine gun or GM Command beam gun for its primary weapon. The bullpup makes it a worse version of any of the machine gun wielding supports at 400 cost, while the beam gun makes it an inferior version of the GM Sniper Custom ML or Gelgoog Ground Type. The LV1 sniper rifle has 1600 power, 6 ammo, 4 seconds cooldown, 15 seconds reload, 1 second swap time, 800m range, 0% stagger value and 1.5x leg damage modifier. This weapons base damage is what you might expect on a 300 cost support rather than a 400 cost one, but the total leg damage is increased to 2400 thanks to extra leg damage modifier. It is hard to aim because of the small projectile but it has short cooldown time which can be useful to intercept enemies chasing allies or to be used in melee stunlock situations.
Its primary melee weapon is a beam saber with 1850 power, 2.5 seconds cooldown, 0.77 seconds swap time and standard modifiers. Its power is a little below average for a 400 cost suit, but support type advantage means this can hit surprisingly hard against generals. The suit also has the advantage of the balancers skill to melee swing after a boost, so don't feel afraid to use this.
Its first sub weapon is a hand grenade with 1100 power, 3 ammo, 2.5 seconds cooldown, 13 seconds reload, 1 second swap time and 50% stagger value. You won't be able to make use of the stagger value yourself but using these is essential to make your damage output somewhat passable, so you should always try to stay close enough to the frontline to be able to throw them at enemies.
It also has a large shield with 3000 HP. This improves the lackluster durability and also has the benefit of boosting walking/turning speed by 15% once broken. This boosts the default walking speed to 138, which can be quite useful if your shield gets blown up early into a life.
The LV1 GM Sniper II has 13000 HP, 18 ballistic/beam resist and 6 melee resist. The durability is a little below average for 400 cost but it also has the benefit of a shield to make it more in line with the rest of the cost.
It also has 120 walk speed, 155 boosting speed, 55 thrust and 54 turning speed. The walking speed is a little more than what other 400 cost supports get but the boosting speed is slower than what you would want for a support with melee ability. This can make it a hassle at times to keep up with the frontline but it is still workable.
Overall I think that the Sniper II is a really flawed suit in great need of a buff. It gives up so much of the tools that all the other 400 cost supports get basically just for a long range rifle and good leg breaking ability. It would need a pretty big rework to be on par with the better sniper supports at this cost like GM Sniper III or Gelgoog Ground Type. I think that the rifles cooldown should be buffed to 3.5 seconds, buff the rifles damage to 1800 base and +200 per level, lower the end lag after firing the rifle, add piercing to the rifle, increase the size of the rifle projectile, buff the rifles stagger value to 70%, buff boosting speed to 170 and add the same vulcan pod that the Sniper II White Dingo uses as a sub weapon. This would improve its ability to follow alongside the team and support them with staggers while also making it easier to make use of the beam saber after stuns. It would also improve its lacking damage output. In its current state though I think it would be best to avoid taking into rated matches if you want to win. Thanks for watching, and I hope that you enjoyed it!

Funny how in one Gundam game the GM Sniper II is taking off heads and in the other it's taking off legs.
In the other one its a menace, and this one its a menace but to the user itself
The one in gbo is weird,1 time it goes through an enemy and hit my teammate instead
12:36 Pure dopamine for any support player.
I did this to a Jegan ECOAST type in 550 room A grade and i felt the rushing of the dopamine inside me. Truly satisfied moment.
that pixie really deserve that
The way my jaw dropped when I saw Geara Doga and realized what cost you were playing in followed by the way my heart sank when I saw he was on top of you, and then the fuckin hype I felt when you broke his legs.
Can only imagine how it felt playing that moment LOL
You: "Legs are a privilage, not a right."
If this thing ever receives a "buff" I wouldn't be surprised if it was to just add vulcans to its weapon pool
I think only the white dingo version has them
Maybe make the bullup machine gun a sub weapon?
@@Yugiboy1996 bit of a stretch for an improvement for the unit
@@TheKiryuversemaybe it could get melee combo or an increased boost gage
I like how he play: no flashy left/right head shake to get some meager field vision, instead focus on what's ahead of him, and still perform well with his shots. It's an ease to know that you can still play this game without causing motion sickness.
Run it back with the bullpup! XD one of my favorite things in this game is sniper II with the bullpup from the suit's release to even now
For the apex of federation production suits it sure doesn't have all that much going for it. Needs a side arm like the mg or beam gun, better projectile size, and various other tweaks to keep up with other 400 supports.
I miss the old days where I could run this with the machine gun, a level 2 or 3 reloader, and as many ranged damage parts as possible, and just clean house. Simpler times, man.
Not viable anymore? I have a love for machine guns and keep trying to make them work
@@aurelliadarkwater1136Same, I usually choose a machine gun over rocket launchers. They're not meta though, sadly, and in a 1v1 you're most definitely at a disadvantage. Try to stick with the team. I use any suit/weapon I want because I play to have fun
I love them, too, but they are best as a secondary option like in the Hazel Custom. If they want to make them build up stun faster, I'm all for it
@@aurelliadarkwater1136 Manuever armor got very common now for raids is why.
@@JamesJohnsonQ i wish the highmobility late zaku had a machinegun sub weapon, i find myself using the psycho zaku mk2 as a sort of ad-hoc general because it gets a rapid fire version of the MMP-78. sort of a LARP pretending to be a normal zaku but atleast my supports cant complain im not trying
That Ranged Overtune part NEEDS to be in the DP shop right now. Shit is 100% P2W.
4:05 Avenger separates the men from the boys.
Gm Sniper is such a good suit, simple, effective
Been playing it as a General MS instead of a typical Support on PC ver.
The only thing I would complain about is the super small hitbox of it's rifle shot.
never though i see the day GM Sniper won against Pixy in 1v1..
I cannot wait to get out of C ranks and get into B where my team understands that staying together and not wandering off allows for victory. I will reach S rank one of these days.
Honestly, the teammates just get worse. It's more enjoyable in the lower ranks
@@d_litemesenpai5871 If it gets worse then I genuinely don't even want to play. I've literally had a team mate waiting behind a guy because I was just tackled, I automatically assumed that when enemy s were up he'd attack instantly to protect me and attack the enemy and to defy my expectations, he WALKED into the guy who had just tackled me and got combo'd to death despite already having his beam saber out, seeing his s disappear and WILLINGLY walk into the enemy downswing without any attempt at attack.
@dubborino979 I'm not sayin this so you'll stop playing the game. I mean it's gets more competitive for sure, but it still feels the same. You'll always be ranked with people below your skill level for match balancing. I still enjoy the game at times. You just gotta learn to take the losses as an extension of the simpler times.
I'm in A- right now, it's a mixed bag honestly
The color reminds me with GM (Type D) from Gundam Lost War Chronicles games
Damn, breaking the enemy MS legs hard ! 😂🎉❤
I only just try to nail the chrome dome or body shots since shooting the feet is troublesome 50/50 with the shield, 50 just slipping through the cracks. never knew this can actually work.
With its recent buff, the GM Sniper 2 is still not that good in the grand scheme of thing and it can't really defend itself against a charging raid, but it actually do damage now and it's shorter reload does noticeably help. Aside from adding a sub weapon, I really hope they either increase projectile size or increase the AOE radius
PC version so sad since they are behind in patch
I think if it got 170 boosting speed then it would be in a strong position. The damage actually got a big buff on console, since they didn't just buff the rifle damage. The extra range mod granted to the suit plus Precision Shelling makes the damage feel nice now.
My favorite support unit in terms of design, the reload time could be faster tho.
3:27 What MS was that????
Striker Custom
No fing way did you stop a pixie with a gm sniper😱
10:52 the accumulation of stagger gauge should have taken it to 130%. Why the Pixy did not stop?
Cause this video was before the buff. Before the buff, it had 0% stagger accumulation on the sniper rifle.
@@avenger1_gbo260 Thanks. I thought there is some hidden bugs for my boy and i was going to cry about that.
damn the enemy team generals are in constant agony
*Gunner Gundam in the back still waiting for its buffs too* "ಥ‿ಥ"
Soon...
Still waiting for GM Sniper II (Titans) be added in the game
I need it to have a sniper rifle that works like hazel custom beam rifle
What are legs?
Alright, I gotta ask. Do you feel the straight damage buff is more effective than the enhanced part damages? I see you went all ranged damage, and am not yet sure which is better.
As usual, thanks for the great video.
Straight damage buffs will do more damage to the parts (legs/head) than just using the actual part damage items. At best you would add them to supplement the general damage mods.
@@diosdoughnuts5339 how does it scale at higher numbers? I've heard that when you get higher defense more defense actually matters more than hp is the same of atk and does having native high attack mean the percentage boost to part damage matters more.
@@tbc1880 How damage works in this game is that the number of your base suit damage (melee or range) is flat number that actually % based. So when a suit has melee damage stat of 20 and range stat of 25, it deals 20% more damage from it melee weapon and 25% more damage from it range weapon.
Example:
Beam Saber does 1500 base damage, melee stat of 20 means 1500 x .2 = 300 more damage from the base damage, equaling to doing 1800 melee damage
Beam Rifle does 1800 base damage, range stat of 25 means 1800 x .25 = 450 more damage from the base damage, equaling to doing 2250 range damage
Note: This is not taking into account of type advantage/disadvantage or def stat from the enemy suit as that gets more complicated
@@WatcherMovie008 Damage is percentage based max is 100 Edit: Damage mod of the suit + the base damage of the weapon - the opponents corresponding defense.
I always go for ranged damage over parts damage, unless I can use parts damage as filler for suits that are good at breaking legs. But now if you have a fully enhanced suit and the part from Sazabi FF banner it is almost always possible to run Composite Frame instead.
Whats that first custom part?
Overtune Ranged. Boosts ranged damage dealt by 1%, with +3% for each MS level up to a maximum of +10%.
i think this is the hardest ms to use in gbo2, i mean the lack of weapon options really forces me to play with teamwork.
Yep. Tiny projectile that often passes through enemy legs as well.
Sniper II meta??!
The opposite lol
3:24 that mf was a newtype
I think He should can use beam sniper rifle same Gm Snpier Or Use White Dingo Verison Too
White Dingo beam rifle on support Sniper II might be broken lol
Dude......... you need a nerf, cause your newtype abilities are getting out of hand
