This video gives some really good advice...I've always loved sniping and this playstyle fits what I find fun, I just need to get better aim and crosshair placement
The tip to swap to sniper for a body shot after hitting a headshot with your hand cannon, during a peek duel, is very good. This is something I discovered outside of this video that gets me a lot of kills, I am glad to see it mentioned here
I've played with Awake before and he's literally an insane sniper god! This video is super helpful to sniper noobs like myself. Another dime of a video Awake!
Found your channel just barely, I feel like the way you explained the scenarios and play style is super clear. The differences and tips, and how important things are is communicated well assuming someone has a baseline understanding of sniping already. I definitely have been trying to get better at sniping and feel like these tips are very worth it to try and level up my gameplay.
I loved this and I can't wait for the second part. Have you ever tried using Tommy's or DMT on your warlock? It offsets the low handling on both weapons, and they're pretty good duelers at their respective ranges because of the hipfire nature
It's a high skill high reward playstyle, but, it's also very fun, so, everyone out there, really give this advice a try, you might find you're an absolute precision beast.
you play with a controller .. well nothing ro say with that BUT.. there is definitely a gap between this and mouse and keyboard. I mean, there is no "bullet magnetism" with M&K so.. it's not always gonna happen this "easy" (i know its not this easy tho. however, the no scope melee is absolutely efficient on M&K, just try it more guys. Peace !
Hey man. Great content. I’m just using a sniper for the first time. I have Kovaaks on my computer (I use m&k) I know you don’t, but do you know of a playlist to use? Or any thing of that kind? Also what sensitivity do you run? Thanks!
It bothers me so much that you play controller, you only get to use your thumbs to aim, it's so free. Imagine using your whole hand, that's too hard. Also you're hacking bruv 🥰
This content is super helpful!! Love the descriptions and the scenarios. Also I was happily surprised to see that I recognized some of the names in your kill feed during scrims. Then I looked up your clan and realized I know about half those guys haha.
been really motivated to get good at sniping this season. just hit 1200 kills with my beloved and your vids have been great motivation for when i have a bad stretch🤝
also great point about not being afraid to body shot. i used to get tunnel visioned on trying to get a headshot and that made me a worse sniper. obviously you still wanna aim for the head but a body shot and quick-swap to a hc or smg is still too fast for most people to react to
Not me thinking I could do this lmao. This man's brain is just operating at a higher rpm than mine - amazing to watch tho. It'd be a privilege to get sniped by anyone who can pull off these shots, bravo.
you made this very well. I feel like so many destiny 2 content creators these days give specific advice for less experienced people to have a goal to chase after. in reality bein a good player is finding what everyone else is doing and adapting to it which can sometimes be very specific to one person. you made this open ended which is a nice change of pace.
@PokeJin WWI I’ve gotten only one beloved from a chest but it was after I had the pattern The best way to actually get it is from the helm each week so if u want beloved and austringer it’ll take u 10 weeks which really really sucks so it get everything it’ll take all season
I've always struggled with reticle placement, either I'm too high or too low. Aside from practice, is there any visual cue that I can use that might help? Maybe from the scope?
i got aim down and movement but the only thing im struggling with a bit is balancing when to use my primary and when to snipe. i feel like im using my sniper too much
I’ll definitely add that in the next guide! There’s for sure a few things you can do to help but it is definitely tough so don’t feel bad, flinch is a very frustrating mechanic on both sides haha but it’s definitely necessary in snipers
PRINCE CHARMING (OS) Once upon a time in a kingdom far, far away, the king and queen were blessed with a beautiful baby girl. And throughout the land, everyone was happy... until the sun went down and they saw that their daughter was cursed with a frightful enchantment that took hold each and every night. Desperate, they sought the help of a fairy godmother who had them lock the young princess away in a tower, there to await the kiss... of the handsome Prince Charming. (enters gallantly onstage) It was he who would chance the perilous journey through blistering cold and scorching desert traveling for many days and nights, risking life and limb to reach the Dragon's keep. For he was the bravest, and most handsome... in all the land. (looks at the audience) And it was destiny that his kiss would break the dreaded curse. He alone would climb to the highest room of the tallest tower to enter the princess's chambers, cross the room to her sleeping silhouette, pull back the gossamer curtains to find her... (pulls back the curtain to reveal WOLF in the bed.
Probably is just muscle memory....but I find it very hard when I slide out of a corner to have my scope placed correctly where it should be! Especially with higher zoom eye of sol.....tips anybody?
„If that bothers you, let me know in the comments…“ haha, made my day. Way to oen the criticism. People bitchin about input is always the same. I took m&k and controller flawless over 20times and i CAN say, that controller is bae for close range sniping, its just so consistent. However, ALSO in close range m&k with shotguns or fusions are just insanely hard to play against. So ups for both sides. Keep it up man!
Awesome video! Gotta get myself into sniping. Would a Shepard's watch with snapshot/moving target work? I never got lucky enough with a good eye of sol. Otherwise I can use beloved.
@@Awake_wl Much appreciated thank you! Not sure your thoughts on this, but I am wanting to incorporate Devil's Ruin with an Aggressive Sniping playstyle with tricksleeves. Hopefully Eye of Sol fits the bill!
I love your video’s I also found this to be pretty helpful. Do you think you could make a video on breaking bad sniping habits though? That’d help me a ton! 😂
My biggest thing is my hit reg with a sniper is terrible it either 60% of the time doesn’t register I hit them or I’ll body shot them and it registers 0.5 or 0.6 seconds later super delayed but all other guns are good only snipers do this for me not sure why
It doesnt really bother me that you are using controller tbh, while yes, different inputs but most of advices still apply, the mechanical aim part will be different but otherwise its gonna work mostly the same
Im a little less than average when it comes to sniping and i noticed its my poor choices and lack of awareness that screws me up, but i did get some usefull tips from this video will probably try some of them out
did'nt take you as long as you said to come out with this.are'nt we efficient?i've waited years for some kinda idea on how to accomplish this style of play.thank you,awake!!!
I'd 100% think you were cheating if I matched you. Some of those clips are absolutely nuts. Could you include your sens and ads modifier? It seems decently high at hip and ads.
Hey, you use a controller and it bothers me...... just kidding, I love the content and am trying to improve my own sniper gameplay. I miss like a hundred shots and hit one, but the one hit is so satisfying that I'm insane enough to keep trying. I use M+K
Haha 😂 I appreciate it man!..yeah honestly that’s normal, I miss a ton it just takes a lot of practice , yeah It’s for sure much tougher on mnk but there are a lot of very good snipers on mnk who can do it too
Nice vid man. Been sniping since day 1 D1 on a blink voidlock and you have some great tips here! That being said what we really need to know is your shader game. You’re on point specifically: 1. Beloved / Austringer 2. Adored (shader and skin) 3. Frozen Orbit 4. Eye of Sol (gold one) The people need to know!
