Rustier's Sniping Tips and Tactics

There are a lot of things that come into play when you are trying to snipe. This is just a guide that i thought i would throw up and see if it helps anyone. So enjoy.

Picking the right sniper rifle

When you pick a sniper rifle you have to take a look at your playing style. Are you very patient or do you like to run around and snipe while on the move (BUT NOT QUICKSNIPING). If you like to take your time and are very patient you should go with the SASR or the SR-25. I would say you MUST have a suppressor otherwise what is the point, give away your position? On scopes i would say a medium scope or on the SASR, probably a 12X scope, unless your playing small maps, then i would go 4X. If you are a person that likes to run around and shoot, I would say get one of the more heavy duty sniper rifles, like the M82A1A or the M87ELR. Then tack on a high scope and you can zoom in as much as you'd like.

Bipod

The Bipod is the most underated Armory choice in the game in my opinion. If you are a person that likes to camp and snipe, you must utilize the bipod. I know its more weight but your camping anyways lol. It increases your steadiness and accuracy a lot when you are laying on the ground. Try it in your next game and you will see how much of a difference it will make.

Pistol for sniping

You can't snipe very effectively if you do not have a good pistol. You have to choose a pistol that has a lot of rounds, so you dont have to keep reloading. Your firing rate is precious when you only have a hand gun. I would use a non-silenced handgun beings as it seems to be more effective for me. The two popular guns that i use is a M18(Single shot, very accurate) and a 226 both with pistol lasers.

HAve fun sniping!
