it was a while ago i was playing against a sniper whose name a nd builds i completely forgot but one thing special about his playstyle is he doesn't use his sniper rifle at all. he utilizes his flak and freeze traps with his smg and it did kinda have us stuck at the tunnel of Uncle Tully's and eventually losing this wasn't recent but a few weeks after Tully's came out, i was wanting to know of suggestions about this build since then but i completely forgot until now. i would be very interested to try this out since i suck at sniping in MNC and this might make me spare a custom class slot for snipers so... Gold Armor, Silver Accuracy, Bronze Skill Recovery?
waste of potential, if you ask me if you want to play smg-based build rather go rifle-based assault, same damage output but more hp/accuracy/secondary weapon and somewhat more useful CQC skills
But you can double grapple with the Sniper as well as annoy this **** out of players with Ice traps and Flak.
thanks for the link @Moose: i agree it is truly a waste of potential, it's just that i'm very bad at headshots in MNC can't rly get them unless they stand still =[ and funsies
That's why you have traps - to make people stand still, just use them offensively. Come on, it can't be that hard.
This is the only way I can play sniper. When I played sniper for the first time I found the class to be useless objectivewise. (although my fist headshot felt like an orgasm). But I find it is very fun to play if you mess around.
About the only time I can get headshots with Sniper is through liberal use of Ice Traps. Pretty godly on Steel Peel, especially if he's base camping the bridges and throwing Ice Traps below to sow disarray and misery.
