@@Mute_R6 and given how it would still take several shots to kill even a devastator (crazy that the DCS is the much better sniper in that sense), I think an ammo buff would be nice
Merry Christmas! And yeah, I tried out that sniper, and I just haven't really found much use for it. Like, with the mandatory bursts, I haven't found any spot that I'd prefer it to the DCS. If it had a single-shot mode, I'd honestly probably really like it. But as-is, it's kinda hard to use, the scope doesn't work well, and you don't get enough ammo to be worth the problems.
if one burst dispatched medium enemies easily at range it would be a real treat, ammo with the multiple bursts to kill a single target kinda sucks but its interesting. I remember the HMG was terrible on release so they will work on this again too I believe.
I've tried it and I can't say that I like it at all. You can only fire it 3 times before having to reload, scope is kinda meh and the damage drop off falls off a cliff when firing at anything over 25 meters which is ridiculous for a supposed "sniper rifle". People seem to enjoy it (it does look cool) but for me this weapon is garbage tier.
Merry Christmas Helldivers!
the "Sniper" really needs a buff and a proper sniper scope
I feel that having a single shot mode would benefit it a lot.
@Mute_R6 That, or a slight damage increase so you can kill a devastator with 2 shots of a burst in the chest

I think it’s damage falls off with distance. The scope is probably good enough. I like the sniper for what it is. It offers a different play style.
@@Mute_R6 yep. single shot mode with the ability to charge every shot
Despite its flaws, you still look like a surgeon with it. Cheers!
If you aim at the gunship's engine with the sniper, you can get it down in one or two bursts :)
The secondary from Truth enforcers can do that too it’s very useful
