Yeah, with the spawn distances and the amount of enemies, there’s very little space for a true sniping experience. Plus with the destructible environment, high ground is very rarely guaranteed. Plus, the camera shake mechanics aren’t the most conducive to sniping. I do think that if OP wants a more sniper-ey experience, they’re in their right to request it since it’s a PvE game and the most important thing is to have fun. Maybe they could introduce some more variety into the sniper lineup, like different types of rounds. Or maybe a new planet that’s got lots of close spaced high ground where staying at ground level means you get boxed in by enemies

There’s the AMR, which is the only “sniper” in the game imo. But it takes up a stratagem slot and isn’t nearly as penetrating as I’d like it to be. I only really use it if I find it laying around in the wild.

Tbh I think the whole game is designed away from a sniper play style, which is a little disappointing. But I’m willing to forgive it with how fun it is otherwise.
