Snipers are pretty much just about feel.
Rapid Fire and Adaptive snipers are pretty much even right now after the body-shot damage changes with TFS. Rapid Fires have better handling with marginally better Stability (which leads to flinch resist) and AA. Adaptives have better range (that leads to better accuracy).
3rd Column:
- Look for Handling and Accuracy perks (Quickdraw, Surplus, Snapshot, Perpetual Motion, Under Pressure, Firmly Planted)
- No Distractions is a decent pick especially when you’re learning.
4th Column:
- Look for Opening Shot or Moving Target
- Box Breathing isn’t bad either
Again. Feel is 9/10ths of how good a sniper is. I actually like Father’s Sins despite it not being considered “meta”
