Sniper Rifles Re-Work

[HAYABU5A]

 

4) All sniper rifles should have innate ability to penetrate nullifier, and Arctic Eximus bubbles (maybe with decreased damage?)

5) Headshot kills should cause all enemies in a small area around the killed enemy to panic and search for cover. [Can be a mod]

6) Headshots should cause stagger. [suggested: Blind, Confused]

 

 

 

the idea of adding utility to sniper class weapons is great, like the cc/panic effect and stagger 

nullifier bypass would further cement a niche role for them

 

the traditional long range single shot dmg sniper just doesnt apply in warframes fast paced gameplay, they need unique ability and utility as a class

Suggestion: Explosive headshot (possibly a mod)

 

similar to team fortress 2's "Mann vs Machine", every headshot has a chance to cause blast damage in a certain área, damage proportional to the damage inflicted.

Idea 1 would be awful unless they added some superheavy enemies with small, vulnerable weak points to make it worth carrying such an awkward weapon. Like tanks or 12 foot tall mechs.

 

Nerfing hipfire even more without doing that would make a crit build lex prime the best sniper rifle in the game and turn everything with a scope into mastery fodder garbage.
