'Cuz without headshots or armour-piercing, they most definitely suck in my hands.

Not sure what you mean by slow firing sniper rifles..
Lanat, Black Widow and Isharay I suppose?
I still find them decent against Remant with stunning powers.
However, I completely stop using them because of Outlaws nearly giving me cancer everytime I try to hit them with slow firing sniper rifles.

It seems to be a five-way tie.
Perhaps I shouldn't have allowed 5 votes per person?
No.
That's definitely not it.

I kinda wish they had a bigger headshot bonus, given that their efficacy has been reduced due to enemy shield gate amount buffs in 1.08. If I shoot a shielded health enemy in the face on gold, that bastard should go down to at least 50% health; regardless of the kit. For some shielded enemies, it should outright kill them...Goddamn, this Widow challenge!!!

If a sniper rifle has 1-2 shots per clip, then its basic level damn well better skunk mooks with a center mass shot on gold and the X version should do the same to midrange guys. With all the dog spam, anything less is a waste of time. This game dick punches you so hard for trying to hunker down and shoot that reload every other shot guns need to be super lethal to compete with the likes of the Reeger Carbine or Hurricane spray and pray. Lets face is, they are never going to fix off host lag, so stop balancing the damn weapons around an assumed head shot that is never going to happen for most of the players.

Also, the sniper reloads don't seem to be so completely poo there. Even the Javelin without reload cancel wasn't that bad (but who am I kidding, I still reload cancelled it after a short period to remember how ) I wouldn't say sniping is that bad in MEA but it's completely devoid of the fun as satisfaction in its predecessor game.

Duct-tape a Vanquisher to it.
The lack of reload canceling and the inability to reload while dodging is what screws them over the most, IMO.

Extra joy: Apparently even if I luck out and unlock the magic mod, it doesn't work on Vanquisher. Vanquisher, despite the nerfs, is STILL the best sniper rifle. Nothing touches it. However if you can't hit headshots snipers are probably not the way to go. Still, the Vanquisher staggers on body shots so it's very useful. It's part of why it's the best SR.

It's not just headshots, it's any slow firing weapon that can't shoot through my own teammates. Yep, while extremely cheap, wallbanging (and hitting a few enemies together) was part of what made sniping so funny sometimes in ME3. Today we got a Ravager as the last enemy on the wave and everyone rushed to the lower floor (of Firebase White) while I just stood there on the top of the map and shot the enemy through the upper floor with the Javelin. Priceless!

Some people are saying Vanquisher got fixed and the AP mod works with it now.
That would be nice. Is it Uncommon or Rare?
I might buy a couple of lottery tickets in the store and see if I can nab it with mission funds.
