The sniper rifles, while powerful, feel awful to use on Empire. It’s a great map, lots of great routes to use with sprint, thrusters, and clamber, but the sniper rifles need to go. The map just feels too small for a sniper to be effective on there. Now, I have gotten some kills using the sniper, as have many others. However, many people that I see using it, are using it in medium-to-close range, as if it were a BR. The two sniper spawn areas are the best places to use the rifle as a long-range weapon, but the sight lines are ruined by the pillars in the middle, which are needed for thruster and clamber routes. I say replace the sniper with shotguns or a rocket launcher, on the map.
I don’t know. I was thinking the same thing but I just had a game where someone on the enemy team entirely locked the map down with the rifle. One of those guys who inexplicably seems to make every shot a headshot. It was extremely effective.

See, that’s where the sniper is amazing, when you can lock down the map. But for a large majority of Empire games, it doesn’t play out like that. I’ve locked down a game just by using a BR on Truth, it’s easy if you a good with the gun and have the ammo available. Also if every shot was a headshot, without aim assist, then I must say he is someone I both fear and respect.
