>>10687071well it turns out there's extra sad news which is that the sniper has a very specific breakpoint.
it's extremely good when it one shots things, or comes close to it, and really kinda shit when it doesn't. i tried resetting an area and going through in "nightmare" which seems to be a mode made specifically for ng+ type of shenanigans and the sniper didn't feel half as good. so it's not even that the sniper is overpowered, it's just absurdly good specifically for a normal mode playthrough.
i think i'm going to actually start a second playthrough and do a different build on hard in hopes that the coach gun is laughably horrible instead of the sniper being super busted, then i'll try going with ng+ stuff if i feel like it
