The issue about Snipetron was that Coprus don't use weapons that fires bullets. But I was thinking: the Braton is also of Corpus design and it also fires bullets but it has never been taken off of the game.
Could developers just put Snipetron back and edit the lore saying something like Braton's what it's a common sold weapon to users in general and stuff. Or modify it and make it to fire energy shots.
The Braton is something the Corpus sell to the general public, not a weapon they equip the rank and file with.
I really don't get why they just don't amend the Snipertron to fire short bursts of energy instead of bullets and put it back in the game. There is no reason for this weapon to be locked away and all it does is raise repeated ire amongst players.
It's note like they haven't changed past lore to suit current gameplay (looking forward to Valkyr Prime trailer soon)...
The main reason why it isnt re-released now in a general way is because it uses the same model as the Lanka. Thats why its more of an event weapon to give out now and then.
So, we could say that, for now, that the Lanka is the fix of the Snipetron, lore-wise. And Snipetron has been kept as an avent reward because of the fanbase. But in the future it surely will come a new concept for the Snipetron, and I'm convinced that, in the lore, Braton and Snipetron can be sold as a product to general public. What do you think?

Snipetron is one of the legacy items in the game that likely wont go anywhere or get changed. Its become a novelty collectors item that people ernestly asked for DE to bring back. Most people weren't asking for the weapon for mastery either. They wanted that weapon because of the differences in performance it offered and just the collection of something they missed. I highly doubt DE would change it because it would make a good number of people upset, honestly. The only way they could fix it is to retcon the weapon into a Tenno design, just like the braton has had done to it. If they were to do all that work to make a new gun, they may as well as just release the new gun and leave the old collectors Snipetron be.
Come back in the plagued star operation. :,D
