Stats:
NO scope flare
greatly reduced bullet trail
reduced sound
no muzzle flash
greatly reduced damage against viacles
slightly reduced range
Very very very slightly reduced accuracy (barely noticeable difference)
bullets can’t ricochet
(suggested) lowered rate of fire
(suggested) extra recoil
can hold 1 less spare clip
Description:
”The Sniper Veterans of the Infinity have been waiting a long time for a present like this…”
And thats basicly it…
(also I know the theming of this gun are little late)
Removing the flare, the sound, and the bullet trail all leads the a severe lack in Dakka.
Thats why the nornfang is painted red and yellow, to make it go faster and hit harder.
Why don’t you just paint it purple if you want it to be more sneaky? … wait a minute wrong fantasy universe
Maybe a slower rate of fire and heavier recoil would be more appropriate. This way, there’s a greater emphasis on accurate headshots or you’ll end up wasting ammo.

Really good ideas for a silenced sniper. The heavy recoil and slow ROF can make it pretty balanced in a way
Ya know what’s fun? Getting sniped across the map, and maybe you can find out where he is based on looking around for the 8 seconds you’re dead.
Know what’s even more fun? Getting sniped and having no idea where it came from, no matter what you do.
The idea of a silenced sniper rifle is good. In practice, however…

While I like the idea, I just don’t think we need more sniper rifles right now. If we were to see more weapons added to H5 I would rather see weapons we don’t currently have, like the H3 flame thrower, brute shot, or plasma launcher. Stuff like that.
has stated above the major downside of this is that there is no way to tell where the sniper is, I would add back in the trail but just fade it out more and make it harder to see, otherwise it will be nigh impossible to find the sniper if they arnt using an obvious sniper spot.

Sniper trails are hard to spot anyway, especially during intense gunfights and the madness of a Warzone map. I find em more by the huge scope glint.
I’m not a huge fan of suppressed weapons because they should be weak as hell to achieve the near silence they display in game. I think if anything this rifle should take 1 more bullet to kill in all situations (2-3 shots), have lower recoil, a somewhat higher rate of fire, and a higher capacity magazine. Everything else seems spot on though.

Maybe in Halo 6 but I can guarantee with Halo 5’s current meta a flametrower is near useless

Whenever someone mentions a Sniper Rifle with a higher rate of fire, lower damage, and a larger magazine, all I can think of is the M21 back in CoD4.

That’s a lot of drawbacks, but I think it covers a lot of possible ways it could be balanced. I just don’t like the skin idea honestly.
