Stealth sniper rifles?

[Munkee]

Any possible way to take a sniper on a stealth heist and it NOT destroy concealment?

I mean. Fine, snipers can be big. But your telling me, a sniper can't be hidden at all but a english longbow can easily?

So is there some mod(like gun part, not something from last bullet) that I am not seeing or something?

[Peanits]

I tried before, wasn't possible. Let me try again now that stat boosts are out. I'll report back soon.

EDIT: Assuming you use a 30 concealment secondary with a +3 concealment boost AND a 30 concealment melee with the +2 concealment boost from Hidden Blade AND mod the Lebensauger for concealment with a +1 concealment boost, you can get down to 13 detection risk. Won't be suppressed, though.

[Toastie Buns]

Yeah, you can add concealment to a sniper rifle or add an insane amount of conceal to a secondary to carry said rifle.

It would be *technically* cheating however.

EDIT: Read the OP too quickly. My bad

[Clockwork]

You can suppress a Lebensauger and conceal it as much as an OVE9000 saw (and this was before statboost).

Edit : To sum up, a concealed suppressed Lebensauger is an OVE9000 saw.

Lebensauger is the highest concealment sniper

just use a high concealment secondary too and you are good to go

[Email Soup]

The stat boosted ones are extremely concealed.
I think I got 14 concealment the other day with one, idk tho I might be trippin'

Bad idea!
Sniper rifles just penetrates bodys from security guards and often hits some windows and stuff like that!

[Atomic Waste]

Uhm...yes, easyly.

I use the Nagant and the Judge for a crit dodge build with 22 visibility.
- Absolutly stealthable.
Another option is the Lebenssauger.
- Something around 20 visibility as well.

Even though you can take Snipers for stealth, I don´t see a reason to do so. Slow fire rate, kinda bad concelement, and the penetrating effect isn´t always the best (e.g. Shooting guards and hit the window behind them as well.).

Edit:
I´m kinda late, I guess. ^^

[Sugoi]

Use a lebensauger with +conceal and either a bernetti or bronco with +3. Don't take any mods that reduce concealment. You should be able to get 13, I believe.

Not really to kill guards. But if a stealth goes south I like to have a decent primary to go along with my signature.
I use my pistol to kill guard or melee.

I once thought that penetrating wall could be useful when some tricky civilians appear alerted out of the map, behind a wall.

If thats the case, Snipers usually woen´t be able to penetrate these walls.
The only one which I can remember right out of my mind is the fence on the right side of Go Bank (where the cops spwan). But even there a Sniper sin´t needed since any weapon can penetrate this litte barrier (exept Bows, Crossbows).

And then you realized that it can only penetrate some walls, thin doors, and window sills.

I feel your pain.

Ok, I got 35 detection with the lebensauger and Signature .40.
