The IB version of not forgotten can get some pretty slick rolls though, so aim for that one.

Laughing Heart isn't the same archetype, however, if I recall correctly. I dunno whether or not it can rez snipe. I just thought that was worth mentioning.

No but it's an easy to use sniper for people who don't play elimination modes.

Well yeah. I just thought I'd observe that it's not the same.

What's the best sniper to be using for PVP? I was using Event Horizon and it felt ok. I have a good LDR, an average Longbow, and a good 1000 Yard as well.

Edit: I mostly mean for Trials. I'm using Last Word or MIDA as my primary.

Just tell me I'm exotic.
This expansion not only has probably my favorite raid (tied with Vault of Glass) but also has been my favorite groups of people to run the raid with. This expansion has been awesome from the get go.

Finished off HM just now. Aksis P2 might be the easiest encounter in HM, straight up. We had more than enough damage with one illuminated weapons bubble and Viking funeral each DPS phase. Vosik was way harder due to the adds.

That's the Glass Promontory archetype, which is mid-impact. But Not Forgotten is High-Impact, same as 1kys, Longbow, Winged Word, etc.

Choices are probably Event Horizon (Black Spindle archetype), or But Not Forgotten (1kys archetype but with barrels that raise impact, thus allowing it to kill some more supers), or Winged Word (Trials sniper).

Edit: Also to correct from previous page, But Not Forgotten's zoom is 5.2, same as Longview 10.

It can rez snipe. It's the promonitory archetype. It also has a 5x zoom. Mine has hidden hand and snapshot and one of the better stability mods. It owns bones. I post a vid of how low the recoil is a while back.

I rock my 1kys in pvp 90% of the time.

You want shortgaze and some combination of snapshot/quickdraw and hidden hand or unflinching etc.

I run that and tlw or blind perdition.

The 1 headshot super kill is way overblown the tradeoff to use a high impact that can so it like handling speed, msg sizr and recoil isnt worth it.

I barely qualify as a sniper but when I attempt it, quickscopes feel the most effective. Which means I gravitate towards anything with snapshot and handing perks.

Yeah watching lanes etc is almost impossible now. Which is good. A quick one second scan of a lane and backup to check radar is the way i go now.

I made a thing. I know lots of goons use PGS to find games but if you feel like joining a discord to coordinate runs or whatever then great go ahead and use this.

I'd personally like to use it for finding trials pals because PGS is a pain.

The link is good for another 15 hours or something so it's not working PM me here or holler at PSN sinaddr and I'll send you an invite.

Also made a new PS4 clan because now they're actually worth a poo poo in the new UI so if you want to join let me know as well.
