Snipertron Or Paris Bow

[xXxSPADExXx]

i wanted something with range and i saw that the paris bow had just over 40 damage and the snipertron had 70 so i saved up $100,000 to buy the snipertron and i was amazed when i was using it on mercury But than as i advanced i got  it to rank 30 and it takes the whole mag (4) bullets to take away half a griners armour and i also found out that if u charge the bow it can do up to 300 damage :/:/:/:/:/ might as well thrown $100,000 to the chargers

Well, yeah. The Paris is somewhat tricky to use, arrow drop and stuff, but it's more viable as a heavy-hitter than the Snipetron. Still, not perfect at all. The only viable sniper rifles in the game right now are Lex and Hek.

I love my paris bow, it is a "body Shot" Sniper weapon.  No headshots required if the bow is a full charge.  No reload times either, just draw out another arrow. 

 

Snipetron needs headshots to be effective.

Uhm, body shot? It doesn't nearly do that much damage on highest lvls

This is about half true

It can work as a body shooter by vitrue of its high fully charged damage but once you hit worlds like pluto in the 25+ range it takes normally takes about 3 body shots per trash mob or 1 headshot to 1 headshot+ 1 body shot

Sure it works as a body shot weapon but its a headshot monster

You already have to aim up for long range,why not make it a headshot to murder them?

The only problem of paris is that even when u know that u dealt 10+ headshot, it will not display on the scoreboard.

Before update 7 my Snipetron was 13 in a clip, 98% multishot (more or less +100% damage, as a zoomed snipetron has 0 bullet spread), enough fire rate and damage mods to 1 hit headshot lvl 25 trash mobs. It was a beast and it destroyed bosses too (still sometimes taking up to 40 ammo to down high level ones, but seriously, sitting 100 meters away and sniping them was a cakewalk) 
 

Now, unless they buff its clip size, even by 1 or 2, its just completely unviable.

How do I know this? My snipetron is a level 30 POTATOD weapon, and I chuck every rifle mod on there I find to see if its any good. Still doesnt hold up to other weapons of that level. 

I'm not one to scream "WEAPON NEEDS BUFF" but the snipetron is pretty poor now. Also Im pretty sure they lowered its crit chance from .25 to .1 didnt they?

Wow I seem butthurt :P I dont really mind, even though I chucked a Catalyst on it, that the snipetron sucks now. I like moving on to new weapons anyway.

Don't worry about it, I'm pretty sure it's gonna get a buff. As you say it's complete crap right now outside of Grinee/Corpus defense missions on big tiles.
