DarthJundar Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 yes if you remember back when we got the snipetron vandal, we also got a snipetron BP, i would love to see this item trade-able in this game mainly because i have no use for this weapon as there are bow weapons above mastery rank 8, So DE may we see this as a future trade-able BP?

Yeah, no. I don't think this is going to happen.
-CdG-Obtenebris Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 wow... for how much platin would it be traded? A lot. Snipetron was removed from the game by DE(except from the people who already had the regular or Vandal variants) due to being too powerful. Mind you this was back in Damage 1.0 when there were no Impact/Puncture/Slash weapons. It was just "This is a gun. It kills things."

Mind you this was back in Damage 1.0 when there were no Impact/Puncture/Slash weapons. It was just "This is a gun. It kills things." yup.. I remember this. I already played before dmg 2.0 (and was too stupid / poor to buy founder pack. the regret is big). I guess there is only a handfull of users who own a snipetron bp and are willing to trade it... I think it would sell for as much as primed chamber, eh?

Probably, if not more than Primed Chamber since Primed Chamber is only useful on a select handful of guns and if I remember correctly it can't be used on bows.
Naftal Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 Probably, if not more than Primed Chamber since Primed Chamber is only useful on a select handful of guns and if I remember correctly it can't be used on bows. On the other hand Snipetron is only useful for mastery.
-CdG-Obtenebris Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 On the other hand Snipetron is only useful for mastery. Well there's always people who want something like unavailable weapons for the "100% completion" aspect of things. Or people who really enjoy sniping. If I got one though, unless it was REALLY good, it'd be used for Mastery and then likely sit in my inventory with my Wraith weapons as "one of my special things." Like my Excalibur Prime. Leveled him, barely use him these days since I find other frames more entertaining.
Soulrift Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 A lot. Snipetron was removed from the game by DE(except from the people who already had the regular or Vandal variants) due to being too powerful. Incorrect. It was removed because it was a ballistic projectile weapon and Corups weapons were energy-based, so it was thematically out of place. It was replaced by the Lanka energy railgun for thematic reasons, not because of power.

Frostosti Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 i have both the vandal and the snipetron vandal, and i can tell you that compared to the vandal version, the regular vandal is completely garbage. 4 shots per magazine and a HUGE reload time, definitely not worth anything else apart from 3000 MR points
Kaspin_the_Bothan Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 (edited) The snipetron was the first weapon I ever made. I wanted it since I first read about it, back when I was a complete newbie. I started using it the moment I finally had the credits to build it; felt amazing! About a week later it was removed. I felt so lucky to have snagged it. Unfortunately, the weapon is quite mediocre for the most part, especially in dam 2.0. I love the vandal version upgrades, it makes it practical, but it looks gross--the blue shimmer is just icky in my opinion. I wish there was a way to either 'equip' the default skin of the non-vandal version, or remove the blue shimmer, or have the non-vandal one either equal in stats or not quite as pathetic in comparison. Any ways, I have an extra blueprint that I'll never use since I already have a crafted original. I'd love to be able to give it to someone who would like one :) Edited June 15, 2014 by Kaspin_the_Bothan

I kind of feel the same way about the Wraith weapons and the Syandana we got from Specters of Liberty. I'd like to be able to do more than change the energy color.
blizt1998 Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 To the two users above me, the SV can use the Snipetron Shock Camo skin, but some people can't equip it. On the other hand, all snipers are getting a buff.
SmokinDevil Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 I wish I grabbed it back then. The game was so poorly optimized though, I played at 10fps and I didn't think I would play this game that long.
Ignaesia Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 The old Snipetron was actually kinda neat because it still had the original PEW firing sound. Then for some reason it got changed without any warning, despite that literally noone uses the gun seriously. That quirky firing noise was the only novelty factor to using it.
Brontolith Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 Well you learn something new every day. I was told it got removed due to being too OP lol No infact most people complained about snipers back in damage 1.0. They didn't deal that much more damage and had a horrible fire rate and long reload times.
DarthJundar Posted July 23, 2014 Author Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) Actually the snipetron was not removed cause it was not a corpus weapons while that may have beem a reason why it still is not enough, it was deemed to OP at the time, and to prove why the corpus factor is incorrect, braton, and lato used to be corpus. and to anyone who says the snipetron sucks right now, remember sniper 2.0 is coming out. and i will never need snipetron, cause i have a vandal, and im mastery rank 13, no point in really leveling much at this point Edited July 23, 2014 by DarthJundar
DarthJundar Posted July 23, 2014 Author Posted July 23, 2014 more on the subject of the snipetron and snipetron vandal DE FIX MY SNIPETRON VANDAL MAKE IT END GAME AGAIN! please. And strun wraith still destroys end game
Latronico Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Ok now probably you will hate me: I built a Snipetron (thanks to the BP from the event), took to rank 30 and then sold for some credits. Lol. However, I already have the Vandal one so... At the end, I think that probably a Snipetron BP will be given to all players as happened with Machete soon. And Strun too.
