Tulzscha Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 A beam effect would be nice, then. Yeah, I expect it to return once they've reworked it to fire energy bolts or a beam. Something like the Tenloss DXR-6 disruptor sniper rifle from the Jedi Knight games would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NarukamiYu Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I just sold this because I thought the Vulkar would be an improvement. I didn't like it. Then I couldn't find the Snipetron anymore. God donut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argoms Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Well apparently the snipetron model is now used for a railgun accessible through dojos, and its name isn't so stupid ^^ Still seems odd that the old snipetron exists instead of being completely replaced, since it's effectively obsolete.

Zectifin Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Not announcing this ahead of time is pretty terrible. agreed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumireaver Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 and its name isn't so stupid ^^ You keep your terrible slander to yourself. I love you Snipetron! Please come back to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabeRage Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 (edited) Just adding my own agreement here. I understand why you might have wanted to pull it away from the market seeing as how it doesn't fit its role in the game, but a heads up would've been nice. Ah well. Things happens, things change. It's just a gun. =) I suppose the main problem is that there are differences between the two guns. Snipetron had armor piercing while the new gun has just more damage. That is a pretty big deal to some. Edited May 24, 2013 by GabeRage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumireaver Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Wait, instead of deleting it because it's Corpus, why couldn't they call it Tenno-made? Like the Latron's older brother? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xyfer Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Snipetron has AP rounds, Vulkar doesn't. Snipetron still deals better damage. And yes we really would have appreciated it if they would announce it before simply removing items that was once readily obtainable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsonide Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I would like to see the blueprint for a few days, since there was no announcement that it was being retired. The Braton Vandal already haunts me, don't add this to the list of stuff I will never have. I've been playing since February, and Snipetron was next on my list.

mhyr1104 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I don't get it. The reason behind taking the Snipertron out was due to the fact it was a Corpus weapon and the Tenno only steals from the Grinner. So why can't the lore be changed slightly and adapt it to 'Grineer and Corpus'? We raid both sides yet only steal from one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatarewordsworth Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 As of U8, the Snipetron and its BP are simply *gone* from the market. In its place is a the "new" sniper rifle Vulkar that has the EXACT same stats, EXCEPT for the damage, which is less than HALF of the Snipetron at 45. I did not see anywhere in the patch notes mentioning the removal of the snipetron, and I sincerely hope it's a bug. That being said...Why is the stats of the Vulkar so &!$$ poor? The Latron beats it in every single department (clipsize. firerate, accuracy) except in damage...which is a measly 5 damage lower. I hope that is a bug in the Vulkar's stats as well, else no one will be use it. To answer your question, It was taken out of the market so they could include it under a different name in the new Research system. you will find it in the subtree for Energy Lab research.

Argoms Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Is it the same weapon, though? I think it may be similar to the corpus sniper's rifles, and not just a hitscan gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, vulkar is not armor piercing like the snipetron was, so it's still worse IMO. Not sure if they will alter this or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7.T. Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) Yeah, AP was the selling point for me and I liked it. This really bites for those who reset and just assumed they had time to get it. It should be made available for a short time or make the replacement have at least the same attributes. The gun called the "Lanka" that took it's model is a completely different kind of gun according to the wiki http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Lanka Edited May 28, 2013 by 7.T.

SilentCynic Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I always believed these kinds of changes are what the whole Grand Master dev forum was for. So much for that delusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IIPREDATORII Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Answer: In my hands. Good thing they didn't take it away from me either. I paid for it. Unlike what they did to me in bfplay4free... Took my paid for weapon away from me and never gave it back. The new sniper rifle doesn't appeal to me. Even if the power is a little higher. It's ugly.
