HelixJazz Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 (edited) When Plains of Eidolon came out I was eager to try out snipers on the plains. To my dismay, when zooming in on the grineer bases in the distance I couldn't see any enemies. I had to walk to the base for the npcs to spawn and run to the hills in order to snipe them, or have a friend run into the base and shoot them from a far. This ruined the idea of long range sniping for me and others. Could spawn distance be increased for people wanting to experience sniping at epic ranges?

Sd_Kfz182 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I believe the spawn distance of AIs currently is within 200m radius of the player. Spawning more enemies further away may cause performance drops prehaps. Afterall PoE is only just been released and there are still a lot of bugs to be fixed.

Ikusias Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Considering how much range some of the enemies have with their weapons, having spawns farther than 200m would mean many dead warframes... Still mission boundary in many phases of the bounties is a major hassle if someone want to stay further and snipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget the lack of a real visible muzzle flash to that just to spot them. They can apparently see you though brush and landscape, but we can't see them. As a standard, I bring out ether my Vulkar Wraith or my Vectis Prime and it's still a bunch of issues spotting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sd_Kfz182 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 With most snipers limited with a 6x magnification. Imo this is more suited toward medium range combat as well. The 12x magnification before the sniper rework wouldnt be too bad for long range sniping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
