Sniper rifle hunting is some of the most unique and cool content in BDO but it has a lot of flaws. 

The sweet spot for being in range of an elk but not too close to scare off the elk is incredibly narrow. You can shoot the elk from a safe distance just for it to run towards you and scare itself out of existence. The range is so far that when you scope in from a safe distance the game is using LODS and the game looks a lot uglier than normal.

Because you need to be so far to kill the elk, when you run over to its body to gather it you will end up scaring off a few other elk along the way. 

The sniper rifle aiming minigame is cute but incredible buggy. Sometimes even when you are very obviously in range and have clear vision of the elk the crosshair will not glow red which is super frustrating when repositioning to fix the bug risks scaring off all the nearby elk. 

I think sniper rifle hunting is super cool and would love to see updates to it.
