Turiko Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) So, ages ago (not long after i started playing) i got the Vulkar, at the time the only sniper rifle i could get. It was useless for me, both due to low damage and bullet travel time. I never leveled it up to 30 due to being such a pain to use. Today i got the lanka, which seems better, and it is. But as a sniper rifle it is useless as the zoom end up covering your screen with the blue light from your gun 1/4 times... I can imagine this being an awkward but high-damage single shot weapon at midrange, but since it makes you blind it is effectively not a reliable sniper rifle. Are there any actually good snipers in this game? I want a rifle that is slow but does a ton of damage on a single target, no/very little bullet travel time so you can effectively headshot at long range.

Omega224 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 ive never had the lankas glow blind me but you may want to try the vectis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsoe Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 go for vectis... but with damage 2.0 you should try back your vulkar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgax Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Not much choices here i'm afraid. Vectis is pretty good, the tradeoff is one shot clip. Snipetron Vandal: sadly no longer obtainable, not much disadvantages here slightly lover dps in long run compared to vectis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eirshy Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Um.... The Vulkar is hitscan, not projectile. Anyways, the glow you can kinda get used to after a while, and the base electric type on the Lanka is amazing for the purposes of getting ridiculous levels of Corrosive damage (for oneshotting those pesky Heavy Gunners). Only downside is it's difficult to get a full type spread because of that- but that's mostly OK since you have such a huge single shot damage, it usually doesn't matter. As for another sniper option, the Vectis is probably pretty good. Can also use Charged Chamber on it (or Primed if you shell out the plat on trade for it).

Turiko Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 Um.... The Vulkar is hitscan, not projectile. Anyways, the glow you can kinda get used to after a while -snip- Yeah, it's hitscan... but fires with a serious delay after actually clicking to fire, so it's effectively projectile but invisible. At least, that was the way it was back when i tried it... As for the glow, i can assure you that i can not get used to my entire screen being covered at random. I literally fire blind when it happens. Thanks for the tips though; i'll try and get the vectis and run with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerBurden Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) You can disable the blur if you disable "Motion Blur" and "Depth of Field" in the graphic options. Maybe there is one more option, I don't know it right now. Just test it out. Edited December 19, 2013 by TylerBurden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nichizzy Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Vectis... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salenstormwing Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I just crafted myself a Vectis. It's hella fun. It's no Soma, but I try to avoid breaking that gun out for anything that isn't Lvl 3 Nightmare Defenses. So yeah, get it. It's fun. And the fact that you don't unscope after each shot is nice too.
