What’s the best AR to use as a sniper rifle?

[Slackerdude74]

Sniper rifles are cool and all especially the SVU-MK S-3(Whip), but I want to use an AR as sniper type rifle since they can shoot single shots as well and full auto or burst fire(some) when needed.
I have already tried the Combatant(AKM-74S), the VS Vintar(Veteran), and I modified a GP 37 into a sniper and these were good, but I want something better if there is anything better than those that isn’t actual sniper rifle.

Dnipro.

I really like the Clusterf**ck, but it doesn't meet the AR def anymore as it's been modified to purely single shot. I keep looking for something to replace it, but so far...

Dnipro, Kharod, and Zbur-19 are the endgame options, so be on the lookout for those. Humans receive a x6 damage multiplier when headshot, so the snipers massively overkill.

yep dnipro, honestly best AR in the game

You can find one near the fire anomaly at the cooling towers if you want it sooner then end game, or you can buy it from Yaniv station

Dnipro range sucks and its a mid AR.

Kharod with a 4x ACOG is best sniper AR.

dinipro has the best penetration though, thats what you want more for heavy armored enemies

He said sniper not shoot at center of mass like noobs.

ClusterFcuk fully modded has better stats than the Dnipro or the Kharod. The scope is built in and really decent. True it is only semi auto 1 shot, at a time, but really auto is a waste of bullets as a sniper rifle.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ has a more zoomed in scope than the dnipro with a 4X scope (looks to be around a 6X scope?) but leaves a smoke cloud when firing and also the repair costs are much higher. A Dnipro with AP ammo has 1/3 the repair cost as a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ with regular ammo. The regular and AP ammo for the dnipro is plentiful. The regular ammo for the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is plentiful. Take your pick.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is for sniping, you don't want to use it for spray and pray because it wears down fast and costs a lot to fix. Dnipro has more penetration. Throw in the AP ammo and it's probably the better choice overall. That said I love the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ also.

Kharod is another option but lower base damage and it's use of 5.56x45 means I'd rather use the Dnipro as I have 1500 rounds of AP ammo laying around, or ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Late game mobs are often wearing exos which means heads are equally protected.

Cluster is the best choice as a sniper/assault hybrid. It's damage is more than the Dnipro. Modded it gets closer to the same pen. And its AP rounds seem to do more damage. But I actually carry both rifles as part of my standard load out. Plus a Saiga shotgun of course for the mutants.

Edit. I also like the nice 51 round mag for the ClusterFcuk

I like a well placed shot with the Rhino and a 2x scope for situational use along with carrying some expansive ammo for Burers, but your loadout sounds good. Carrying both is a good idea.

I have tried the Rhino. Used it to take down a pseudogiant with expansive rounds, but I am just no good with the pistols, except sneaking around with a suppressed skif.
