I find them perfect as they are and I do run them all the time. Viable for what they are, but not op.

For me, it depends on how they are balanced. One-shot sniper? It can’t quick-scope effectively to be a clutch mid-range weapon, and the firing rate is slow.
I want to see them back, but not as the mid-range quick-scoping weapon they were in WZ1. Want to use it mid-range? You better be damn sure not to miss your shot, and you shouldn’t be able to ADS as quickly as an SMG or AS
**EDIT**
I think there is room in the game for both slow yet heavy-hitting snipers and 2 – 3 shot quick-scoping snipers; they need to make it happen and take the time to balance them accordingly.

And shotguns should one shot at point blank, meanwhile fennec gets to run rampant. Who’s the gutter gremlin balancing this fucking game?
TheOrangeyOrange
Disagree. I’ve been using the snipers every game, they’d be totally broken if they were 1 hit kills. They work fine as is.

Give everyone 3 plates and replace 3 place vests with helmets that keep u from getting one shot but make them more rare then 3 plate vest.
MadDog_8762
No, not at all
I much prefer the lack of 1-shot headshots because snipers should be specialized support
Not total dominance of any ranged fight

As a casual og gamer I agree

Actually, snipers should be either one-shot chest up or waist up depending on caliber. .50cal, waist up, 7.62x54r should be about chest or up.
ForgetfulM0nk
Snipers are definitely one thing casuals and sweats won’t ever agree on, this is so wrong lol
xTheRedDeath
I just love how LMGs are better for sniping and SMGs are better than shotguns at close range. This game is a clown show of balance.

Gross.

If you want more people camping on roofs yeah make it one shot.

As a casual pve enjoyer with a full time job the 1 shot knock down from snipers with full plates is something I don’t agree personally

The amount of people projecting their own poor positioning and decision making as an excuse to justify neutering snipers is pretty sad but I guess that’s what you get when the majority of the player base are brainless

I mean tbh let them be one shot but allow the option of a helmet like BlackOut did (I didn’t play but I’ve heard from my friends that did that this was an option) or even apex has helmets to reduce bullet dmg it doesn’t even have to be crazy tiered or anything. Then you get the benefit of a higher TTK and sniper can still be one shot if you don’t have one but still have 3 plates

Depends. The signal 50 destroys people alredy with the fast fire rate. If it had 1 shot potential it would be beyond overpowered
I think heavy snipers should. If all snipers do then they need more bullet drop or slower fire rate

I 100% like the snipers as they are now.
We do not need another kar/Swiss meta

I remember the days on playing wz1 using sniper.
Day 1 keeps missing shots. After trial and error, practicing, learning, adjusting aim depending on the distance and sprint of the enemy, bullet drop, downing an enemy is an amazing feeling. That’s how I knew that I was getting better with a sniper with each game.
Was surprised actually when reading reddit that most players don’t want that mechanic to come back.
If they’re not coming back, at least fix the crashes, looting.
Spawn more money and don’t limit the things that can be bought in the store. It’s like devs don’t want teams to engage with each other by limiting UAVs and reviving team mates.

IDGAF who you are, a .50 caliber round moving ~2,900fps/900mps should 100% down you in one shot, especially to the head.
That’s my hill and I’ll die on it.

Also , stop pretending everyone is fully 3 plated all the time … most people don’t have 3 plates early game and when returning from gulag. Plenty of chance to one shot headshot …
HappyLofi
Disagree. I like snipers exactly as they are. Nothing more annoying than getting 1 tapped out of nowhere by a headshot.
SilvaWeidmanParadox
Nope absolutely not. Sniping is the lowest risk playstyle and it’s way too easy to land a headshot, snipers are strong now they’re just not absolutely essential, which is good.
Snipers should be indirectly buffed by nerfing self revive speed, how many you can carry and downed health. Once you have downed a player, they shouldn’t be able to survive another shot to the chest with the sniper while they crawl off to revive.
TheTrueAlCapwn
Here is my point to this argument in favor of making them one shot head shot – in the first year of warzone the game was a fuckin massive juggernaut success and no one was saying snipers should not one shot head shot. Tons of people loved sniping. It contributed to the game being amazing. The sound it makes, how rewarding it felt. Nailing a massive headshot on a most wanted driving in a rover or a chopper. So good. Another point too, is if they are going to let people have 4 self revives I should be able to down them in one.

Not gonna lie, I’m a bit of a causal myself
