Well that covers it lol what about best places to hide??

[ThisIsAlex]

Well try not to move very often or at all before shooting, stay in a bush and always relocate after each fire.

Places hmm : Stary Sobor hill, NWAF Forest, hills north of Elekro, Cherno woods north, Myshkino tents forest and so on.

1. Be accurate

2. Chose a place where you will have the advantage shot

3. Be sure about your actions

4. After each takedown, pay attention to movement of your enemy, most of the time they don't know here the shot came from and they just hide in panic (pay huge attention to the cover spot, see from what side they are taking cover, if you see them in the cover means they have no clue where you are)

5. If you have to relocate, plan your relocation spots before even going into a fight, use distractions, smokes, everything you can, the more confusing the place is, the more chances you will have to relocate sucessfully. (only use smokes and so on in case your location have been compromised, otherwise you are giving them away your location)

6. Be unpredictable, don't use obvious spots, and don't panic if you see someone rushing you, stay sharp and keep always an AKS-74U (with supressor) as your secondary weapon for close quarter combat.

7. Have atleast 1 mate watching your flank, and if you can 1 spotter with binoculars.

Do your homework, chose wisely the place your gonna spot on, and use your mind as your primary weapon.

Depends on what kind of sniper you want to be. Add me and let me know and I'll help you out

Dress the part. If you're wearing red, yellow, orange, blue, or pink, you're not blending into your environment so you might give away your position. You can make gillie suit. Also make sure you have good ammo. Try not to use damaged ammo or you might get a miss fire then rush your shots.

dont bother sniping, brian hicks deliberatly nerfed its style along time ago. hold breath does nothing, bipods do nothing, sway is absurd. grass at distance doesnt render so your open and exposed to anyone entering your 1km bubble. bullet accuracy drops with quality of ammo.
when firing there is so much lift you cant see trajectory of bullet to let you know if your short or far in shot. no point having a spotter as dsync is affected by mussle flash.

Have you even tried sniping? Because breath works, sway is iffy but functional and grass not rendering at distance let's you spot your bullet impact. Oh and bullet impact can be seen if you have a halfway decent eye. And I agree spotters are useless unless you are using them to find your next kill. Get good or go home dude. It's not the game that's bad at sniping, just you.

yes i prefer the sniper guille style, but be honest, sniping is sub par in dayz. render distance nerfs sniping advantage, sway is over the top.

You generally don't see the trajectory without a tracer round (unless you have some sort of hawk-snake hybrid vision), you see the impact.

Also saying sniping in dayz is sub par, right now, is perfectly fine. But to say the devs are nerfing it is a bit off, because they have not even gotten to the actual nerfing/buffing (variable balancing) stage yet, any adverse effects may be temporary.

if the game desync you will miss the shot
careful with hackers

they have nerfed sniping, IE. mosin with bipod, it was the goto sniper rifle, it nolonger has its long range scope or bipod attachment. there was no sway with the mosin, now it sways away. thats a huge nerf.

you can nolonger use bipods on rifle, another nerf. i still cant believe that a m4 comes with a bipod. lolz

I'll acknowledge the sadness of not being able to attach a bipod to a winchester but the long range scope and bipod had no business being on a mosin, look at the rail system and barrel shape. The bipod should be attachable to any rifle with an section of barrel uninhibited by the actual body of the rifle (not the mosin). The long range/hunting scope shold only be mountable to rifles equipped with a picantany rail. (Not the mosin)
