Another way to combat flinch is to aim slightly above the head, and drag your reticle down onto their head as you're being flinched. Not sure why it works, but it is much more consistent than praying you land your shot otherwise
im on mnk and i have hit some wild shots throu flinch i basicly disregard it now if you know how you sniper flinches and ageinst what it is not bad a t all
I noticed that, too. Also doing the 1,2 thing and have for some time but you can also make flinch work in your favour though. If you get shot by a hc and are aimed at the body just fire after the 1st hit. For some reason flinch will flinch you onto the crit when you're not aiming at it.
nice video! the fact that most player aren't familiar in easy things like being creative in ur positioning, and thinking before making a play or committing is what separates nice players from goats. its nice that someone finally try and tell the community that, its a really nice advice.
I would also like to argue that just alone on controller it is night and day difference when getting that aim assist to pull you to the headshot when being flinched; I use to play on controller years ago and have enjoyed more learning M&K. The problem still lies that with M&K you can react faster, but your accuracy plummets because the lack of aim-assist. My favorite weapon back during Forsaken DLC was the Curated roll Twilight Oath; pair that with double dodge/reload weapons and you can go for those quick scopes.
Yeah there’s pros and cons to both inputs. There’s also a lot of very good mnk snipers that can do anything a controller can just a bit less consistently.
@@Awake_wl A good controller player will beat that good PC player 10/10 though, especially if that controller player has a side arm or smg to follow up only seeing gold numbers
@@matthewhardin939arguable. on pc pulse rifles, handcannons, and pretty much every primary weapon are better due to a centered reticle (on console for whatever reason it’s lower) i play both and i can say pc is easier
Can’t agree more I used too play controller too and hit every single snipe every time now I’ve gotten back in too destiny and play m&k an the sniping is def harder I still hit shots but not as many as I did years ago on the controller
Ive gotten so used to swapping to my primary after sniping it took me 7 control matches to get the sniper medal for the deadeye seal 😅 very hard to get rid of muscle memory but it was worth it because you can allways re develop that muscle memory.
Take a shot everytime Awake compliments that spot. Lol, Great video though! It touches a lot of mistakes new snipers make, and has plenty of good info on laning and angles, as well as unpredictability for sniping vets. Love it.
Thumbs up on all your vids. Played a scrim with your discord community a while back and I’m excited to be part of more in the future. Keep up the good work my dude 👍🏾
Good stuff. As a titan main who plays aggressive I want to be a better sniper but I'm not really good at just holding a lane so this was very good for me.
I'm not incredible at Destiny, but i have generally been above average at FPS games, sometimes even great. IMO the most important tip in this video, even outside of sniping, is the "Holding Angles" section. I can source things from chess, war, anecdotal experience, pretty much whatever. But being unpredictable, especially in positioning is a *HUGE* leg up and that's a fact. If I had to ELI5 it, it would be, they cant hit first shot if they're confused where the fuck you even are, and split seconds matter in low TTK games.
What are your thoughts on firmly planted? I see you slide snipe a lot and was wondering if you have experimented with it and if you did, was it’s impact felt?
Even the best snipers miss It’s ok if you don’t hit your shots at first but as you keep trying you’ll eventually get better and better and become more accurate Once you’ve become accurate then you can become precise And once you become precise you’ll see just how far you’ve improved
What do you think about higher zoom snipers? First things like uzume adept at 50, but then occluded finality having a massive hitbox to make up for it's crazy zoom? Either worth using you think? Any super sweats use high zoom?
@@colinvanhorne3795 from what bungie's saying, it should be a good thing for snipers. They're taking away the range from zoom, and aim assist zoom gives will make up for that. That might even mean buffed aim assist on high zoom snipes. And uzume I believe is one of the highest, if not THE highest range adaptive frame sniper, while having a reasonable 50 zoom
It actually befuddles me how people dont know how to snipe in close range. Yes, the sniper is a weapon designed for obscenely long ranges, with high damage, and a really strong zoom. Doesnt mean you cant snipe in close range. I see snipers panic too much when people push them. Ive long gotten used to sniping at long ranges, because I also used to panic when getting pushed. But then one day it all clicked. One day i realized just how easy it is to snipe in close range. I instaswap to my immortal and just shit on them. Problem solved.
Also for the radar thing, is knuckle head radar good as a hunter sniper? Take advantage bc it's in the game or does it build bad habits. And are T-Steps great for sniping since you can get to and from lanes quicker. Especially if you already have high handling guns.
yea... this is controller sniping. PC sniping does not work this way. Its infinitely harder to do any of these movements and have it land. Like youre a god damn GOAT no doubt. PC makes sniping very unforgiving.
I dont understand your sniping. So many of your shots, if I were to do the same ones, I would get missed. Your snipers have aim assist cones, where you can miss slightly and bullets will bend and hit. I don’t have this in my game and I don’t understand. It’s not just you, all TH-camrs I watch snipe, they miss by a good bit and get hits. I miss by 1/4 of a pixel and I get no damage
Even on controller it can be rough trying to learn how to snipe. The biggest thing is crosshair placement which easily converts from kbm to controller and vice versa, this is why kbm players can make videos of them sniping on controller and still play decently.
Im want to model my game after you lol. Been working my way up to 18 sence on controller. Playing warlock do you prefer t steps for movement or ophidians for quicker swapping

I've noticed this too, glad you confirmed this! I snipe 24/7

Icebreaker says hello.
Thanks my man. I’ve plateaued so far from Part 1. Thanks for Part 2
I've watched videos like this before, but I've never heard words like this.
Very nice video, thanks, man!
Great to see another awesome Sniper Video from you. A Massive fan of yours and your Aggressive Sniper Style. Keep up the Great Work Mate.
Crafted my Yasmin G-roll it’s amazing thanks for making these, they have really helped me get those close quarter snipes
Was watching yunger's stream the other day and saw u beat him in trials u got at least one snipe almost every round Ur crazy dude
I beat yunger and surs recently in trials, my crouch spam strafe was making them miss every snipe, I was using igneous conditional
@@Creature-ology yunger is shit lmao

Good stuff. As a titan main who plays aggressive I want to be a better sniper but I'm not really good at just holding a lane so this was very good for me.
I'm so pumped bro, i waited almost a year for this!
If my frames didn't constantly go from 144 to 60 back and forth, in pretty sure my shots would land 2x or 3x more often

personally firmly planted is nearly god tier for me. up there with moving target.
Just subscribed solid content
Cloud strike hits through flinch. I’ve hit so many shots where the bullet is clearly in the sky but it gave me a headshot.
i feel like i could outsnipe anyone after watching this.
Same lol
I drag my scope slot but ill definitely try ur tips!
You should make a video about maps and angles on maps
Learned a couple tips thanks man
Already hungry for the next guide 💪🏼
Even the best snipers miss
It’s ok if you don’t hit your shots at first but as you keep trying you’ll eventually get better and better and become more accurate
Once you’ve become accurate then you can become precise
And once you become precise you’ll see just how far you’ve improved
you forgot the "selling your soul" part
good tips thank you
Nice video, def gonna try to commit to sniping more and getting better
Just as I finished watching your first two, coincidence I think not
Great and helpful video!
You run 18 sens, damn, gotta run the 20 like me and I’m a sniper king 👑
It's funny: "Get out of your sight" is something we tell people on real firearms as well. For much the same reason.
Yo this video really helped me😮💨✅
My flinch could never
My dumbass thought this was Aggressive FRAME guide lol. ty for this though I love this playstyle
Good tips, man! Thank you!
Lucky raspberry
oh damn im a day late but ayeee good video been waiting on this

Zooms getting tanked. Not sure about the aa that's tied to that. But rangefinder and zoom getting nerfed next season

Thoughts on using blink?(arc hunter)
I main an elemental cap ss occluded so yeah need to play arc. But I don't use stompees
I don’t think blink is very good on hunter but on warlock w the Astrocyte helmet it can be pretty decent
Also for the radar thing, is knuckle head radar good as a hunter sniper? Take advantage bc it's in the game or does it build bad habits. And are T-Steps great for sniping since you can get to and from lanes quicker. Especially if you already have high handling guns.
I mean it’s good but probably not worth using right now…t steps are pretty good yes
@@Awake_wl thanks goat
very much needed
I love these vids ❤
What chest piece ornament are you using for warlock?
this is a great video, just some suggestions. the music is good but a bit too loud, it interferes with your commentary. pls lower it next time!
Can you do a settings video?
What ses and ads and traction you play?
yea... this is controller sniping. PC sniping does not work this way. Its infinitely harder to do any of these movements and have it land. Like youre a god damn GOAT no doubt. PC makes sniping very unforgiving.
What is your favourite Sniper and Hand Cannon combo for PvP and which sub class is your favourite?
I like Pali and eye of sol the most probably, I’ve always like arc warlock but not as much after arc 3.0 but still probably my favorite overall
@@Awake_wl I kinda guessed you were a Warlock Main, as you usually play Warlock, mostly on Dawnblade. Which perks does your Pali have on it?
You still play on 16 sens or you change it ??
Currently 18 but I move it around between 16-18 every once in awhile
Personally Im not sure if I want any of us snipers running around 💀
borealis on top
do you listen to lucki?
Pali roll?
Fuck yeah
20 sens best sens
You’re on PC aren’t you?
Yeah I bounced around between pc and ps5 but pc is just easier to record things on
18 sensitivity jeeeez I play on 5 😂
i just suck at sniping lol
God bless AA
And Cronies
If you think he was on a cronus do you think he’d post yt videos?
you must be a really good mnk sniper!
@@Iloveminicakes how can u be that stupid, its so hard to believe

Tip number 1: play controller
😂😂😂 Nc shots but 100% hack no one can shot with no missing any shot
Actually 0% hack
bro said most dominant weapon of choice in todays meta 💀thought most of this was just common sense tbh but decent vid nonetheless

plug one in and start winning tournaments brother!
step 1 use controller
Thumbs op
Sorry, but using a OS sniper with a controller takes almost 0 skill and effort let alone a hard play style.
Ahh yes because I said those things for sure
@@Awake_wl not saying u did n also not directly pointed towards u, but jus making a point and a general statement.
Been waiting for this vid. Awesome clips and explanations as always. Though, may I ask what shader you have on your Beloved?
ah yes another man of taste with the aggressive sniper, hc playstlye. Just found your account Sir. very impressed cheers
Im want to model my game after you lol. Been working my way up to 18 sence on controller. Playing warlock do you prefer t steps for movement or ophidians for quicker swapping
I prefer ophidians but t steps are good too
9:51 what DO you mean? 😉
Love u bro❤
Are you on 18 and 0.5 or 0.6 for sense?
18 and .6 currently
Can you do a sniper tier list ? Thanks
Actually the next video coming soon lol
@@Awake_wl yeesss thanks !!
