[YeezyGT's WQ] [MW: Handling / Range] "Father's Sins is a great-feeling 140RPM with some great perks; Under Pressure / No Distractions in one column (with Enhanced having a shorter activation window), then Eye of the Storm / Opening Shot in the other. Snapshot can be made (somewhat) optional here by investing highly into Handling."

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "Lower zoom snipers did just get a small buff to their aim assist cones, and Father’s Sins is a 35 zoom sniper. That being said, it doesn’t immediately make them good, nor does it make them bad. Most people have shifted towards higher zooms, namely 45 and 50 zooms. The two things that can bump up Father’s Sins in my book is the ease of getting one and crafting it to your liking, as well as having access to under pressure and opening shot. With a higher base aim assist than the likes of Occluded Finality and Shephard’s Watch it could see some use being the bullet bending sniper. Time will tell, but it wouldn’t hurt to keep one around.". Recommended MW - Handling.

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Father’s Sins is craftable but doesn’t offer as much. Focused Fury is great for choosing when to get your damage and being able to reload and triple tap into a bigger mag is a huge boon. But damage phases are moving to more mobile sets, so “stand and DPS” is becoming less common. Even still having one in the event a “stand and DPS” phase comes back would be nice to keep in your back pocket.". Recommended MW - Reload.
