Never please

[R E B E L]

i dont know maybe but it could end up bad

[Wstaaz]

if the game need a longue range weapon,not a sniper please,but a Lee-enfield or something else,why not.

I can just imagine fresh spawns running round like chickens as snipers pick them off in the safety of a tower. Rifles without scopes seem to be a better idea, but they may be bad if they are not balanced right.

[zhalcyon441]

Just imagine it, tons of naked people sprinting around being hunted by the snipers in floating towers.

no support on this one.

[BurningCactus]

Snipers should never be added. New players would just get picked off by level 1,000,000 people camping outside of the spawn. No matter how expensive or hard to use the snipers are people will still get them and master them. Not a good idea.

Bows/Crossbows sound like a great idea. A foreground between the hatchet and a gun. Could use wood for the bow and wood and 1 metal fragment for each arrow and BAM! a cheap and somewhat effective ranged weapon.

No snipers please. Damn campers and cheaters going to ruin this. People even going be more scared of getting out of there house's.

I was playing today and there were like 20 people outside with m4's shooting and someone came to my house i got so scared i used all my fragments to build 10 metal doors just to survive the attack but then they left i would see why people get scared to leave there houses. and when they need wood and metal, ect and they hear gun shots they stay in there house scared because they dont know if they will die outside if they leave so they stay inside not having anything to do and not having enough food to survive and hour ingame form not being able to leave there house.

So i think its a good idea not to add snipers.

Instead of snipers they could maybe add a ACOG attachment for the weapons. M4 with ACOG is probably enough.

[Xianwelsh]

M4's are Snipers enough, and the damage on them MAKES them a sniper, but a bow would be pretty hood.

Also, keep the RPG's out....way too small of a map for those

[dannieweb]

One of the developers actually confirmed in the ingame chat that there will be no long range snipers.
Of course this then brings up the question.. Will there be a medium range riffle with scope?

Personally i wouldn't mind something like a hunting rifle similar to the CZ550 in DayZ.
However.. It should be doing minimal damage so it isn't the most preferred weapon.

[Flewer]

Using a sniper is just another excuse being lazy.

melee those enemies.

[gearhand]

Why not take an assault rifle like the m14 semi-auto that fire's 1 bullet at a time and have an AOC scope on it like other games such as Cod it feels like a sniper rifle but hasn't that much features to it to be as effective as an sniper rifle.

[KillerLUA]

People seem to forget that a sniper can sometimes just mean a different scope - not always a one hit kill weapon. Snipers are unrealistic anyway - a scope on a weapon just means that you will miss accurately.

And considering the game isn't going for everybody being built-up SAS ex-soldiers like other 'modern military shooters' then I doubt anybody would be able to make efficient use of a realistic sniper.

[Rex McCoolguy]

Yeah garry, when can I quickscope 360 some nubs ????

[jfarr133]

Why not just add a new scope?

Maybe a new blueprint can be found (1x scope - 2x scope). It would add different ways of combat, and not add an op sniper.
Don't add a 8x scope or something stupid, just add small zoom scopes such as 2x scopes.

I really feel this would be better then a sniper.
