Step by step
- 1Pick high ground with cover.
- 2Switch positions after a few kills.
- 3Use explosive or armor-piercing rounds when needed.
Common mistakes
- Staying in one spot too long.
Section 01
The brief
A sniper position is defined by its exit, not its view — elevation without escape is just a slower death.
- Position and angle beat raw accuracy in most missions
- The Heavy Sniper handles armored targets; the Marksman suits mid range
- Thermal scope is situational and often a handicap
Section 02
Recommended route
Pick spots with cover behind you, two descent routes, and angles no enemy can flank from below.
- Set up with cover and an exit before firing
- Take height where the mission allows it
- Switch to a rifle once enemies close the distance
Section 03
What good looks like
You hold the angle as long as needed, then leave before the counterattack arrives.
- Cleared objectives without being flanked
