Best Maps for Snipers ​

Never use on: The Trenches, Chicago Mall interiors.

Sniper Playstyle ​

  1. Find power positions - High ground and long angles
  2. Pre-aim - Keep crosshair where enemies will appear
  3. Relocate - Never take the same shot twice
  4. Cover your flanks - Snipers are vulnerable up close
  5. Communicate - Call out what you see

Quickscoping ​

ADS speed is the key stat for aggressive sniping:

  • Use Quick Draw perk
  • Use low-zoom optics (4x over 6x)
  • Practice timing in bot matches
  • Sprint into ADS for faster transitions

Countering Snipers ​

  • Use smoke grenades
  • Flank through buildings
  • Never cross open streets at eye level
  • Stay near cover when moving
