(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ok NGU forums, I'm relativity new to the site, and i thought i would throw out a useful post for once Happy

This is Hungry's guide to Sniping Correctly, None of this Quickscoping BullS*** everyone is doing now a days.

Ok I'm going to break this into 3 easy to understand parts for you slower members at NGU.
Loadout
Location
Technique


I hope everyone can learn something from this post, and if your feeling generous, Like i said I'm new, I could really use some Rep :mudkip:
[multipage=Loadout]
STEP 1 : LOADOUT
Ok Welcome to the loadout section of the tutorial,
Here I will share the secret class setup I use to dominate my enemies


Weapons & Equipment
Primary - Intervention or Barrett with any attachment (It is crucial to use these snipers as they deliver the most damage)
Secondary - USP. 45 or G18 with a Silencer (These are the two main secondarys because they are the smallest and least noticable on your back)
Equipment - Throwing Knife or Blast shield (These are needed because they have no visual appearance on your body, and can help deliver a silent deadly kill, or survive a noobtube from across the map)
Perks
Tier 1 Perk - Any except OMA, but I recommend Marathon only because when i want to move locations I want to get there as fast as possible
Tier 2 Perk - Cold Blooded Pro (This will help make you 99.99 percent invisible)
Tier 3 Perk - Ninja Pro (Lets not give a wandering Noob with a heartbeat a free kill ok)
Deathstreak - Any but I would recommend Final stand, so you can kill your killer and continue sniping

[multipage=Location]
STEP 2 : LOCATION
For the Location part of my tutorial, I will inform you on the art of staying hidden while yu snipe.
(Note : this will only be possible to do on every map if you have completed the ghilley in the mist challenges)

Any good sniper would not be caught dead without his faithful ghilley suit, So use it!
One of the ways a sniper can stay hidden within the enviroment is to go prone in a patch of grass, but because your ghilley suit is typically brown on most maps, aviod laying in grass that is bright green, because although you think your sneaky your easily visible to a nearby enemy. Another easy way to disguise yourself among the trees is to get into a nearby bush , this will eliminate your silhouette and make it harder for your victims to spot you. Finally pick a spot along the outskirts of the map, less enemies will be likely to run into you, and it gives you a nice chance to pick off distracted players.

[multipage=Technique]
STEP 3 : TECHNIQUE
For the last part of my guide, I will give you my secret Technique to make fools of any player, good or bad.

Everything you have learned so far in my guide means nothing without this last step. First of all, REMAIN DORMANT UNTIL YOU FIRE! Nothing is more noticable than movement, If you stay dormant until ready to fire you will have a much greater chance of surviving. Also, if you are discovered, MOVE! You have less a chance of dieing if you sprint to another location than you would remaining in a spot you have been discovered it. Here's a bit of advice, Killcams are the snipers natural predator. You kill someone three times in a row, they are bound to watch the killcam and get some payback. Hardcore = No killcams, Therefore Hardcore = A snipers best friend. AND THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT PART, WHEN YOU ARE WAITING FOR A VICTIM ALWAYS TAP THE TRIANGLE OR Y BUTTON. This will make you rapidly switch weapons, Further eliminating your silhouette and making you invisible to the untrained eye.

Thats all for this tutorial, now get out there and rack up some Kills!
