Shittiest sniper rifle EVER.

But I won't deny it as an excellent scout rifle. Its still going to give you more out of the 1000 certs spent than the Phaseshift will. And hell, if you can learn to place a three round burst on an enemy's dome piece, I'd call it a versatile middle ground between SMG and semi auto scout rifle. I'd honestly like Daybreak to be creative and do this:


 * Move the TRAP to the scout rifle category, introducing the "faction specific scout rifle." Then, NC and VS specific ones can also be introduced. I realize this creates a directive issue. Players close to auraxiuming the TRAP in the interests of the Bighorn will feel cheated. It could be addressed, I know it can, but I don't wanna mull over this and forget what I was gonna say next.


 * Add a new faction specific sniper rifle for the TR, which follows TR ideology but not to a point where it turns into a mess that Simo Häyhä wouldn't want to go near. I lack the imagination nor reasoning of a gameplay developer to suggest something.
 * DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE PHASESHIFT. I'm not a VS main. Its my least played account, but I cringe watching respectable battle rank 120s struggle with this garbage and then throw it away in favor of the XM98. And I even tried it because so many told me about "the pain train" it is, and oh my god, I think the NS-AM7 is a better sniper rifle than the Phaseshift. The Phaseshift isn't the worst sniper rifle, the TRAP is because it isn't a sniper rifle. But the TRAP is worth 1000 certs because it does other things well. The Phaseshift is for masochists or legit amazing snipers who I or any other average sniper will never be able to match. The Railjack stomps the Phaseshift and fits the niche of a sniper rifle better, while the TRAP is... something else.
