Sniper Rifles in Destiny 2 The Edge of Fate are valuable in both PvE and PvP because of their precision and high damage output from a distance.
When compared to other weapon types, Sniper Rifles may not have the highest DPS, but their ability to deal consistent, high burst damage makes them indispensable for certain encounters.
