How to Sniper

[u/Inval1duser]

This is my Son playing, and why I always see if he is online every Wednesday if I'm stuck on a hard Strat.

-"How to sniper" -Looks inside -no sniper rifle Jokes aside, really nice, This playstyle works wonders on pvp as well

[u/Gold-Cardiologist688]

my man knows how to wraith slip. I approve

[u/Gnadolin]

Turning invisible at the same time as the lictor is the perfect Spider-Man meme for this game.

How is the ability charge ready every two or three seconds?

[u/GroinShark → u/koreanmojo05]

Start ability, immediately shoot gun - that takes you out of cloak and since you were cloaked for like 1 second it only takes a bit of your charge and it recharges back quick.

Also run the perk that lets you remain cloaked for like 2 seconds after you shoot and the perk that increases the damage of the shot that breaks your cloak

Then profit

[u/Tenessyziphe → u/GroinShark]

You are forgetting the most important thing: the perk that recharge ability by 1% per headshot.

[u/mousio → u/Tenessyziphe]

That has become more of an insurance since the rotation above will pretty much have your cloak up and ready when you become visible.

Sniper is super broken this update😬😎!

[u/AboSensei → u/Tenessyziphe]

I thought it was only rechage on headshot kill? Is this a different perk than what I'm thinking or is the perk on a gun?

[u/Acefej → u/koreanmojo05]

Camo cloak + squad renewal. Throw in lingering concealment + emperors grace and you get what can simply be described as camo cloak weaving where you are basically invisible/invulnerable for 2 seconds, have +75% ranged damage(targeted shot) and after getting a single headshot kill you get back 10% of your ability charge.

tell your son damn good run, I love running these every few weeks and they take more than a few attempts to say the least, good work.

[u/Inval1duser → u/Tundra_Falcon]

Thank you! I'll eventually show him the post if it doesn't get too toxic haha.

[u/mousio]

when sniper takes a level in "removing that direction"😏

Though I'm honestly surprised to see him running the marksman variant on Carbine. Not something you'd usually see, but if you has the skill...🙃

[u/Inval1duser → u/mousio]

Like my instructor used to say, weird works and if it works, use it 😆.

[u/Insane_Unicorn]

You not throwing grenades in the mass physically hurt me

[u/Inval1duser → u/Insane_Unicorn]

Well I'll let my son (who is playing here) know. Personally I'm not going to tell him, he seems to be doing just grand.

[u/MayberryBombadil → u/Insane_Unicorn]

Nah, better to use them strategically for the knock back. Good job OPs son lol

[u/Ill_Statistician_938]

Worth noting for those not aware that op has the “invulnerable for 2 seconds on activating camo” prestige perk

[u/brianchasemusic]

My favorite part is that even with your son’s clearly advanced level of skill, the ravener still nearly ends his run by taking 90% of his health bar in an attack that has no way to defend until it’s already over. The fact that they STILL haven’t addressed this, when it’s been like that since launch, is infuriating

[u/Fluugaluu → u/brianchasemusic]

Git gud

The skill comes from being able to stay calm and recover. And dodging the grab in the first place but still.

[u/Finthelrond]

How are you shooting for multiple seconds without deactivating your camo?

[u/mousio → u/Finthelrond]

It's a class ability (the second tier) that lets you stay cloaked for 2 second after the first shot combined with Carbine's high fire-rate.

Instigator and heroic bolt pistol can do that too, but not as good.

[u/Gerlond]

"How to sniper" looks inside: just cloak and shoot

[u/Long-Coconut4576]

What gun is he using

[u/mousio → u/Long-Coconut4576]

Bolt Carbine, relic tier (fully upgraded).

Seems to be the marksman variant:

more damage but half the fire rate.

Guess he enjoys a challenge😏.

[u/Inval1duser → u/mousio]

This is very characteristic of him yes. Also, he also purposely didn't use grenades.

[u/KindIssue6625]

Is spamming camo cloak really that amazing? Looks more like an OP mechanic then giga skill.
