Level 5 REQ Sniper Rifle?

Games Halo 5: Guardians

So I’ve been contemplating this for a while and I think its reasonable to have the vanilla sniper rifle (not the Arrow, End, or NF) become available at level 5, due to the fact that there is only 1 power weapon before level 6 that has any long range capability (or 2, Rail Gun and Light Rifle). The Beam Rifle and DMR are perfectly fine at level 6, I’d even trade the Dying Star for the vanilla sniper.

As it stands, there are at least 3 one shot kill weapons available before 6, so adding another when the armor mods become available seems like a plausible option.

Just normal people replies ok? Don’t come at my head, just trying to spread love!

I think it is fine as level 6. I see it as a reward.

I don’t think 343 would ever do this, but they could add a nerfed Sniper Rifle for lvl 5 REQs. Could make it fire slower and take 3 bodyshots to kill (but still one headshot, provided they don’t have the Upgraded Shields perk).

Or they could add a new Railgun at lvl 5 that has a 6x zoom but much longer charge-up.

That’s the reason for random rare/uncommon weapon reqs
