Heritage – Sniper Rifle
This is what the weapon can do: “Heritage” belongs to the legendary snipers that shoot slowly (72 rate of fire) but pack a real punch. The sniper rifle deals kinetic damage and requires special ammunition.
- In PvE, the new raid sniper is probably the best that this category has to offer. The 10% extra damage (compared to energy weapons) is particularly helpful against bosses, and the omission of “Line of Sight” is not that significant.
- In PvP, you can go for “Snapshot Sights” plus “Moving Target,” but it feels quite sluggish here. However, enemy supers are history with a headshot.
This is what the curated roll looks like:
- Hammer-Forged Rifling: +15 Handling, +5 Stability
- Tactical Mag: +5 Stability, +10 Reload Speed, +1 Magazine Size
- No Distractions: Aiming with this weapon reduces flinch.
- Vorpal Weapon: Increased damage against bosses, vehicles, and enemy supers.
These are the stats:
Other strong perks include: For Heritage, combine “Reconstruction” plus “Vorpal Weapon.” You also have a choice of
- Tactical Mag + Boss Specification (Mod) or
- Extended Mag + Backup Mag (Mod)
Thus, you either have 8 rounds in the magazine and very high boss damage or 10 rounds in the magazine and high boss damage. Both variants are quite similar but stronger than the curated roll.
Is there a good alternative? Yes, another new sniper rifle is the quest weapon “Adored.” Here you don’t have to hunt for a God roll, since the sniper always comes with fixed perks. The good thing is that “Adored” performs well in all areas of the game and can be obtained from a quest where you can choose the activity yourself. You can learn more about it here:
