A short range sniper rifle is a precision or marksman rifle. It’s made for that sweet spot between an assault rifle and a true sniper. Someone at Arrowhead messed up the designation.
that or someone messed up the range values.. but yeah, as it is it should have been given its own charge rifle catagory or called an energy marksman rifle.
If the Alpha Commander at 2:14 didn't clearly show that this rifle is really bad, even for the specific use you stated it was good for, nothing can change your mind I guess XD
Helldivers 2 PLAS-39: Do I know you? Planetside 2 TRAP-M1: Yeah, I'm you from another dimension! PLAS-39: Does that mean we're both miss-designated? TRAP-M1: ...Yeah, I suppose so...
I prefer 2-3 hitting alpha commander with my crossbow. And plus it has amazing sniping capabilities. Literally take out illegal broadcast from over half the map away. Not to mention a pre emotive reload puts you at 6 bolts per mag not 5
They need to make it so it doesn't have plasma damage falloff, or at least reduce the falloff. It's really rough using it at range and having that significant decline in performance

The damage falloff on the plasma sniper rifle makes it ironically less good at long range (it has a similar damage falloff to some shotguns lol).
That first bug is why i dont use the plas 39

It needs to be a one hit burst for all medium medium enemies and 2 more mags for it to be decent.
@@TheBanditoLad I think it should be closer to the purifier where it can be shot at anytime, but loses damage if fired early.
@@BenjaminSodos I like the purifier

The rifle is okay but needs to be slightly redesigned. Most of your kills come from strategems clearly by the amount you've used!
