Confusing sniping

[Aš Pingvinas]

How tf does the sniping work in this game cause ive played SGWC 1 and that sniping was fairly easy this new one is so confusing tho you cant really use the gray line to know where your shots gonna go anymore can someone explain the new system to me pls?

You must be playing on the highest difficulty. If you turn it down a notch, you'll get the line back, although frankly idk why you would - it's still quite easy to land shots with the numbers the game gives you.

For instance, if an enemy is 125m away from you and your scope reads 100m-150m, you need to visualize the arc yourself (follow the tips of the line) and line up your shot between 100 and 150.

You think this is hard? Try Sniper Elite, where you basically need a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ physics degree (if you rightly disable the aim assist)

I play on normal with the arc and dot thing and as i said unlike the last one this sniping is so much more confusing

...what??

Then just use the dot to aim lmao, idk how you're screwing it up

im not screwing up lmao i just want to play without the dot but the aim is confusing sometimes i have a perfectly ranged up shot only to find out something isnt as it seems and it confuses me bc stuff doesnt work as simply as the arc back in the first contracts bc now you dont shoot at the top area of the arc you may have to shoot in the center or bottom etc and i dont know how tf that stuff works

Dude, it's just incredibly basic mental math. I gave you a really simple example. I don't get how you're having trouble.

If they're further away from your elevation point, you need to aim slightly above your target.

Im not very good at math lol anyway aside from that does the arc remain on the toughest diff bc if yes i can use your example until i eventually get it right bc if the arc isnt there then i may as well snipe with a deagle also is there a way to trigger bullet cams 100% of the time bc sometimes it doesnt trigger and then i get spotted bc logic

1. The second highest difficulty should still have it. It's in the description. But didn't you say you were playing on Normal and STILL having issues?

2. You need to max out the bullet cam frequency to 4x. I believe the way it works in these games is that the frequency makes the cooldown between cams shorter - so if you get multiple kills in VERY quick succession, it technically won't be 100%, but it'll be pretty close.

1.Im getting better but even tho im still doodoo i like playing on tougher difficulties so i feel more self validation when i beat a mission

2. there was a cooldown??????

I don't understand what's so shocking. It's just the frequency at which a bullet cam will play.

I didnt know there was a cooldown tho that may explain why some shots are insta bonks and the others get me killed

I play on highest difficulty and sometimes I want to make it even harder to calculate distance or have a scope which does not give all the info. The game is extremely easy with all the info it provides to player even on highest difficulty.

I wish they would add another difficulty and replace wind indicator on your scope with wind speed and direction so that you would have to calculate the bullet trajectory instead of that easy as ♥♥♥♥ indicator on your scope which removes the difficulty entirely from the game.

You can disable bullet tragectory too btw

I don't know how anyone is confused - you don't really have to deal with much bullet drop until you're talking about either precise shots at 200+m or general shots at 1000+m

how bout the fact that the aiming system is exactly the same as SGWC1 and has not been changed at all
