Should i choose operative or sniper

A sniper, or a sorc, sage, gunslinger don't need to avoid packs. By the time your melee toon would be chopping down mob 2 or 3, there's no one left. Pay your Bills, hunter! Cuiwe I have chosen this way of life because of the hunt and because it was pushed onto me on some ugly slimeball called a "pearl" and Honour bound me to this path ever onwards " Caelestinus.

I played op for a while and i really like it. I can't tell you what to play because i dont know what u like but if u like long range dps go for sniper if u like stealth healing and short range go op.

I personally think operative sucks as a dps in pve group content, and that they are a pvp oriented class overall. TalonVII Quote: Originally Posted by cool-dude.

With incredible range and impressive stopping power, the CH-A presents itself as the perfect answer to enemy snipers and grouped up enemies. With enough damage perks, it is capable of one-shot headshots at any range. This allows the sniper to quickly take out a foe before they can get a shot off. In addition, the CH-A also boasts an amazing amount of penetration, allowing it to punch through wood, drywall, and even concrete unimpeded.

In addition to that, the Sniper Mastery perk boosts its penetration even further, and grants it the ability to shoot through bulletproof glass, riot shields and enemies. Due to it being a sniper, the CH-A will also have above average penetration, allowing it to ignore a portion of enemies' armor. For all its benefits, however, the CH-A does have some less desirable traits. The limited ammunition it carries cannot be replenished easily, as enemy snipers are generally in positions the operative cannot reach.

In addition, the CH-A is an unwieldy weapon up close and will quickly falter against large close-range assaults. In stealth missions, it is often prone to overpenetration, hitting unintended targets behind the shooter's original point of aim. While it is unknown whether this a bug within the game or an intended feature, the CH-A also deals double damage when fired at friendly operatives.

When combined with the 4x headshot multiplier, a single misplaced shot could seriously damage, or even kill a fellow operative. While it's not easy to remedy the CH-A's faults in combat, there are plenty of ways to cover for them, such as equipping an able secondary or having an ally who can back you up at close range. The sniper is also best saved for opportunities that will best make use of its power, such as engaging enemy snipers, shield units, or operatives taking cover behind walls.

In order to make up for the CH-A's limited ammunition, it is essential to take Sniper Mastery and multiple Deep Pockets perks, the former allowing the sniper to bypass shields and pierce through multiple targets, with the latter increasing ammo reserve. The ability to kill two or more SWAT with a single shot will come in handy during any mission.

It is also recommended to pick up the Hidden Reserves perk to increase the amount of ammunition the CH-A will have, as it cannot be easily refilled. Though weapon-specific perks generally aren't necessary to improve the CH-A, higher difficulties will open up greater challenges such as increased enemy health, which may allow them to resist headshots at long range or survive getting shot through walls. Having enough Sniper Training and Vital Targets perks will ensure almost every headshot is lethal, and that Aegis units can be taken down with a single magazine.

Unless you intend to run the CH-A without any modifications, most setups will leave concealment out of the picture, meaning equipment bags will be needed to carry the weapon without drawing suspicion.
