Trying to learn how to play an aggressive sniper so I’m not ages away and so I can still PTFO. Although I die very frequently. Can anyone provide any tips for me, so I can improve my game? Thanks! ---

Use the CS5 with an acog. Head on a swivel. Always be moving. Go to the practice range and practice quick pop shots ---

What kind of sidearm do you have? Make it the G18. I run it suppressed with the Kobra site on it. But that’s not imperative. It’s high fire rate so it kicks and you need to get used to aiming it before getting mid ranged kills with it. But it’s possible. You using tugs? Good, you need to always be looking at that mini map and seeing who’s around you. Don’t forget to pick it back up after clearing an area. C4 helps take out tracks but can also get you kills around corners, or through walls. Hope this helps buddy. See you on the battlefield! ---

Love your approach there. "What’s your weapon? Whatever it is it’s wrong. " XD Although I do have the G18, and C4. Tugs? I always thought a beacon was a necessity, didn’t think tugs were actually any good. XD Thanks though, should make my time slightly easier! ---

How do snipers see people so easily, without the scanner? I struggle to find them most of the time…although I guess tugs would help in that situation. ---

Hah, thx. Don’t be afraid to pick up battle packs while you’re around them either. It’s a free 3rd weapon option that you can just carry around with you and pitch if you need to. Love to get the Grenade launcher in Golmond and just toss all the ammo into A. Usually pick a kill up if it’s not capped and also bring down a building or two. ---

I don’t look for people through the scope, I won’t look around much I just look for movement. Get familiar with an area and you’ll be able to tell if someone is standing there too.
