Destiny 2 Raid sniper will be a Champion-stunning monster in Echoes Act 2 BungieBungie\u2019s reveal of new content coming to Destiny 2 in Episode: Echoes Act 2 has been a huge win for sniper rifle enthusiasts, with huge buffs on the way. Outside of absurdly powerful outliers like Still Hunt, snipers have lacked viability in PvE for some time. While their theoretical damage is fantastic for a special ammo weapon, it can often be hard to utilize them due to flinch and the difficulties of dealing consistent precision damage. Clearly, Bungie had been keenly aware of those poor fortunes, as buffs aplenty are inbound with Echoes Act 2, and one Legendary marksman rifle is already looking like a frontrunner to dominate the PvE meta. As pointed out by one user on Reddit, Stasis sniper Critical Anomaly \u2013 available from The Final Shape\u2018s Salvation\u2019s Edge Raid \u2013 has access to a perk capable of stunning both Unstoppable and Overload Champions. \u201cChill Clip will Slow on the first shot, Freeze on the second, and Shatter on the third,\u201d the thread\u2019s author explains. As the Slow debuff stuns Overload Champions and Shatter does the same to Unstoppable Champions. That covers two bases, but what about Barrier Champions? Cue the addition of three new sniper-centric Artifact mods releasing in Act 2: Anti-Barrier Sniper – Incendiary Rifle Rounds \u2013 Precision Solar sniper hits Scorch targets. – Sniper\u2019s Meditation \u2013 Sniper hits grant a stacking bonus to sniper damage, stability, and reload speed. – \u201cLord have mercy I\u2019m about to bust,\u201d came one excitable response to Critical Anomaly\u2019s predicted meta ascent, while others lamented that they have yet to unlock the ability to craft it, \u201cI still need that Pattern damn it. Was the last I was going to get, too.\u201d As only Chill Clip is necessary for Critical Anomaly to function as a Champion-killing machine, the fourth perk column is free to be used however you wish. For PvE purposes, it\u2019s recommended to use tried and true damage-boosting options like Bait and Switch or Chaos Reshaped.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
