Best marksman weapon in your opinion?? (KOTH)

[R4YN4R]

except the lynx with red bullets, i'm not enough level

AK12 with a decent scope. 1 accurate burst will take down anyone. But don't forget, marksmen typically roll with squads and are highly accurate. If you're at longer ranges a mk18 should suffice, or a mar10.

I personally wouldn't. I'd save those for sniping, as their fire rate is too slow should you come face to face with an enemy. An AK12 based on my gameplay I'd say is effective up to 800m or so with a high powered optic. Mk18 is pretty similar. They both have a select fire switch incase you end up trading shots at close quarters. I don't like anything heavier than 7.62s in urban combat, but that's all personal preference.

mk1 > 900m lost accuracy after this reach but it's better than a MK18
MAR-10 > 1500m lost accuracy after this reach better than a Cyrus



and after you have sniper so M320 > 2300m
M320 have the best accuracy
Lynx > 1900 lost accuracy after this reach

so for me its a MK1 as a Marksmann and a M320 as a Sniper

Don't bother with any sniper until you can get the AP Lynx.

Seriously, by using the rangefinder thermal bug and AP rounds you can clear our entire towers easily by yourself..

You only zoom in and out fast using the thermal vision. Its not a massive exploit by any means.

Still, its better than the camping ♥♥♥♥♥ who just sit in a tower all day long.

That's a sniper rifle, not a Designated Marksman Rifle (DMR). Know the difference.

Back to OP's question, the MXM (6.5mm) is a basic DMR, so you can start out with that. The Mk.18 ABR, Mk.1 EMR and the Rahim are better (7.62mm), but the Rahim only holds 10 rounds per mag, while the MK.18 and Mk.1 EMR holds 20/mag.

I would class the Cyrus to be a DMR as well, despite it using 9.3mm rounds, because it has the ability to go fully automatic. Downside is that it is very heavy, with heavy (and limited) ammo, with it having 10 rounds per mag.

If you want to go the "cheese" route, get the SPMG (.338NM) with a medium-long scope with a backup sight (Kahlia [ironsight backup] or AMS [red dot backup]) and use that. You can be multiple roles at once: sniper/designated marksman, heavy gunner and assault.

You people are awful

[Gray Fox]

Mk18, Spar-17 or Mk-I EMR?

[Dutchy]

Silenced spar or regular mk1

[-}Element{- SilentHiller]

Personally for DMRs I prefer using the M14 as it's decent at medium ranges and can drop people quickly in CQB, if you're looking to be more of a situational marksman that prioritizes CQB, then the AK12 is your best answer.

Just a newb opinion. I usualy get shot as soon as I fire anything as markspan that havent gor any silencer. So Any decently accurate gun with option to have automatic fire is good bet. I also like to use Tws scope ( I hope i typed that correctly) since I can take more precise shots. But then again i usualy play on opne servers, not in squads, so i am on decent distance on hills usualy.
