Talk:Snipetron/@comment-79.45.81.227-20130511201529

Hi guys, first of all I come from Italy so sorry for my bad English. U_U

However, I tried the Snipetron on several maps (from Mercury to Pluto) with a level 30 Exalibur. What a mistake!

First of all, the damage isn't so high. To really shot down enemies the weapon need a) Serration with +105% or more damage, armour piercing and bonus on critical damage. Second, it has a really very very low quantity of rounds... just 70 circa. It has no sense at all. How could a sniper fight with a weapon that (versus enemies at high level as Pluto) he needs something like 1, 2 or 3 round per enemy? In raid maps (for exmaple), there can be something about 2-300 enemies to defeat... What a sinper have to do in Warframe? Just hitting someone sometimes (pay attention, hitting, not killing XD) looking at team mates doing all? Or, in solo mode, use the primary weapon sometimes and melee weapons all the other ones? Come on....

Another thing that make Snipetron an useless weapon is the fact that, in Warframe, there AREN'T map to snipe. Where could a sniper do his work? On ships where there's a corner, a room, a cover every meter? Or on a mining base where all the enemies are inside buildings and you have to go inside to kill them? We (snipers) really need some big and open maps where we can snipe, staying in cover and shoting enemies (thing that's impossible to do now).

Last thing, enemies. Ok, versus Corpus crewmen or Grineer it [the Snipetron] can do something, but versus MOAs and Infesteds it's really useless... no way to stay away from enemy charges or fire sniping (for example) big creatures or important characters... We can just shot some bullets then take the sword and kill the endless swarm incoming...
