I just got the game and I like using DMR’s and Sniper Rifles particularly. I like using them more aggressively, however, as sitting around and picking off dudes is pretty boring. Any advice in terms of weapons to use or look forward to to facilitate my playstyle?
You answered ur own question dude…
He’s talking about picking a good load out to accommodate his playstyle, such as best sniper to use and equipment to use. He wants to know what’s good equipment and weapons and attachments to go with an aggressive sniper build.
At least this is what I think he ment.
Pretty much. Yea.
youtube pawnstar4hire(bf4), levelcap, etc they will show some good loadouts, other wise, the GOL magnum, M40A4 and scout elite have the fasted rate of fire but check out youtube for info its handy. happy huntin’
The Ace DMR is the best one in my opinion.
For Recon my favorite is the GOL Magnum, next would be M40A5. I like to use the PLD also. Its nice because you can easily spot people that are harder to see because of normal vision and their camo.
As far as DMR setup goes. SKS if your thinking close combat. SCAR for long range and MK11 for medium ranges.
Well the sr61 or whatever it’s called is an awesome sniper. Agree on the sks. But also like the SVD. If you play engineer work up to the pdw my favorite in that class cause it has great hip fire. Also love the saiga in shotguns.
I am loving RFB with heavy barrel, ACOG, auto target designator and angled grip at the moment. I suck so much at CQB - best at mid range.
- Get fiber optic connection or have a very high ping in order to have the holiest hit detection.
I have some “assault” style presets for the recon kit, they run the AK-5C carbines. Spawn beacons and stuff to help your team. Depending on what you’ve unlocked so far, who you’re playing with, and the map/gametype.
The PLD can be great for spotting a bunch of enemies or providing a lock on to tanks and helis. C4 if you’ll find yourself around lots of vehicles, claymores for more infantry focused maps, and stuff like T-UGS or the motion sensor balls are other good ways of helping your team.
Try and stay near your squad (assuming they’re actually working together) as they move from objective to objective, you’ll more likely be in the right place to help them by spotting/shooting enemies. Not necessarily right beside them, but in the area around the objective they’re playing for. Always press the breath holding button for sniper rifles.
I use the variable scope as well a lot so that I have more distances I can cover with a single rifle. Throwing down some of the gadgets I listed can be a great help to your team, a recon who does at least that is much more valuable than the one sitting in the base spawn. I only sit there if I need to put an MAV in the air to spot enemies because we’re getting owned, haha. So that at least someone can’t knife me while I try to give my team a better view of what we’re up against.
Otherwise you should be on the move a lot. I only use the motion sensor balls in really hairy situations as they only last 25 seconds and you only get a few. You only get one of the T-UGS or spawn beacon, but they can both be picked up and moved which can provide more effective gadget use if you’re not getting killed constantly.
Also check out /r/battlefield_4 if you haven’t already. Huge user base there (over 70 000), and lots of great tips I’ve found in various discussions for all sorts of stuff.
I only use snipers and I love it! I find it more intriguing than any other types of classes. I find its a real challenge to do well in games. (Nothing against other classes or types of players, because I’m not great with other classes) but in my opinion I prefer to use the M40A3. Its a fast rate of fire out of all the snipers so if your a type of sniper like myself who doesn’t like to sit a couple hundred meters away and pick off guys then the M40A3 it something like the scout elite would be great participants. Long range player typically prefer the SRR-61 because it has the best bullet drop out of the other rifles. But in a sense you kinda have to get used to it because its different than the other rifles. But the bottom line is, all the snipers are quality weapons; you just have to find the right one for your play style! Good luck!
Mark objectives.
You can do both with a canted iron sights. Just make sure your secondary can get the job done in CQC
