OP here. Lemme clarify. The only thing I see snipers as useful for in this game, would be taking down priority targets, or stealth killing. My Redeemer covers both those areas reliably whilst using Loki (granted, I'm aware of its limits). Aside from that, the game is too full of swarmy enemies and close quarter fights for a sniper to make sense to have on a regular basis. Snipers aren't 'bad', they just don't fit the game very well and can be replaced very easily. If you enjoy them, great, more power to ya. I'd rather bring something that isn't so situational. Or nothing at all, in the case of the relevant sortie spy mission, which I could have (metaphorically) done blindfolded. I just don't like being required to have a weapon 'just in case' the game decides I can't use anything else.
