I decided to make a very simple guide, because the guides i found was very hard to understand,
and they didn't have "One-Shot-Kill ColourZones®"



Before we start, i just want to list some facts, that some of you might not know:


  • All sniper riffles has the same base damage (70), it is only because they have different multipliers, that they appear to have different damage.


  • Stopping power multiplies the base damage with 1,4. Therefore any sniper riffle with Stopping Power will have a base damage of 98.


  • A silencer puts the base damage down to 50, but when you put stopping power on, it goes up to 70 again (multiply with 1,4)


  • FMJ does NOT add any damage to the weapon at all, u can tell because an Intervention with Stopping power #Base dmg 98# only would be able to get hitmarkers (that is of course if the FMJ adds 2 or more damage)


  • A Sniper riffle without Stopping Power and With a silencer can NEVER achive One-Shot-Kills, since the Base damage is 50 and the multiplier is 1,5 (Equals 75).


  • Sleight Of Hand Pro will cut the time "Aim Down Sight"-time In half


  • All snipers have the same hip fire accuracy!



Barrett .50cal

  • Base Damage: 70 (50 with silencer)
  • Magazine Size: 10 rounds (15 with Extended Mags)
  • Unlocked At Level 4
  • Rate of fire: 600 Rounds per Minute

Tips & Tactics:

  • New players tend to spray the Barrett, and shoot before the scope has gone back to "steady".
  • The spraying can come in advantage in close quarters, where there is no time to switch to the secondary.
  • On paper, this is the best sniper.
  • It does the EXACT same damage as the Intervention, because the have the same multipliers.
  • Has less sway when hold in "steady" (holding breath).
  • In Hardcore without stopping power, this weapon is going to get ONLY One-Shot-Kills, since the Hardcore health is 30, and this has a base damage of 50.

Intervention

  • Base Damage: 70 (50 with silencer)
  • Magazine Size: 5 rounds (10 with Extended Mags)
  • Unlocked At Level 4
  • Rate of fire: 65 Rounds per Minute

Tips & Tactics:

  • In Hardcore without stopping power, this weapon is going to get ONLY One-Shot-Kills, since the Hardcore health is 30, and this has a base damage of 70. (Unless opponent has Painkiller, Last/Final Stand).
  • It has lower recoil than the Barrett, and therefore it is better on long distances.
  • Sways a lot when hold steady, and due to the Bolt-Action, it has a very low rate of fire, compared to other sniper rifles.
  • It does the EXACT same damage as the Barrett, because the have the same multipliers.
  • Has the same Accuracy as any other sniper (No matter what people tell you)
  • Can be reload-canceled (If somebody surprises you while you are reloading.

WA2000

  • Base Damage: 70 (50 with silencer)
  • Magazine Size: 6 rounds (12 with Extended Mags)
  • Unlocked At Level 36
  • Rate of fire: 600 Rounds Per Minute

Tips & Tactics:

  • Does NOT benefit from Stopping Power, because of its multipliers!
  • Better Multipliers than M21-Ebr
  • This weapon has the slowest weapon switch time of any in the game, therefore, use Sleight of Hand Pro.
  • This is a great weapon for Hardcore: SnD, because it doesnt benefit from stopping power, and therefore you can use coldbloded, and still only get One-Shot-Kills!
  • Don't use with silencer, since combined with the multipliers, it will make this a terrible weapon.
  • Use a m93 Raffica or a Handgun for secondary, since this weapon has sutch a slow weapon switch time.

M21 EBR

  • Base Damage: 70 (50 with silencer)
  • Magazine Size: 10 rounds (15 with Extended Mags)
  • Unlocked At Level 56
  • Rate of fire: 600 Rounds Per Minute

Tips & Tactics:

  • Some players like to treat this sniper as an assault rifle. They often use Acog sight.
  • Without stoppingpower, and with a silencer, it will still only take to shots to kill, no matter where you hit your opponent.
  • Very good for modded controllers!
  • Is a lot like a FAL just with a scope, thats why people tend to treat it like an assault rifle. However, this weapon will have idle sway, and the FAL wont.
  • This is probably the best sniper for Hardcore, since it will give One-Shot-Kills, and has a very high rate of fire + low recoil!
