Hello all fellow snipers in battlefield 4! I have recently maxed out all of the snipers but there’s one sniper left.. The fy-js.. How the hell do you get so many marksman ribbons.. I only have 17 and its taking forever.. Can someone please give me tips on what to do to get marksman ribbons? I know that if you get 50 meter headshots 5 times you will get this marksman bonus and keep doing that and you will get the ribbon. But it seems like there is an easier way.. Please help! Any tips are appreciated! Thanks. ---

Not a sniper: I found it easiest for me to use the anti material rifles that spawn as pick ups. I love that they’re one hit one kill types. I very easily got a few marksman ribbons in one match because of those. ---

Yes I believe so. I don’t think DMRs will work. ---

Don’t be a sniper. Unless it’s in very particular situations and there’s few of you you’re largely usesless. Not trying to be an ass but snipers really pisses me off when they don’t play the objective which is most of the time. ---

Not true at all sometimes.. We can spot down enemy snipers and tanks and can provide cover for advancing troops ---

I believe you have to press in one of the analog sticks and it’ll let you select that. ---

That’s my point. I don’t know why people don’t understand what recon means they just think sniping. Recon is about controlling the battlefield and making sure that your team mates aren’t running blind. But 99% of recon players just want to snipe and that by itself is mostly useless. ---

It doesn’t matter if you hit them in the head every shot you take. If it’s all you do then you aren’t helping the team. [Next page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/snipers-please-help/110358.md?page=2)
