Where to farm 50cal snipers? Best stop?

[Wish Granter]

Hey,


ive gotten the quest done to get my first 50cal but it didnt last long. I got stuck (like about all 2 minutes) on some tiny stone on the floor and couldnt move anymore.

So I went back to get it and guess what

10 meter in front of the extraction point my character decided to get romantically envolved with a steel beam on the floor that was IMPOSSIBLE to walk over, was at least like 20cm tall.



So now its gone, the sniper that had it is gone and wont respawn.
Only way I heard is to get it from 1 shot sniper with giant lasers.


But where they often spawn?
What map/ spot they usally hang out?

Is it a instant drop or do I have to kill 399 to have a chance for 1?

NWT is easy loot from Europan Spotters/Snipers on Scorched. Just loot with a weapon holding RIG, extract, then do another mission and extract with them again, then you get the rebuilt versions.

The GM8 (just a worse NWT honestly) is gotten from Kill the Brawlers quest, a few can spawn on most maps, but most consistent I found was in the Ruins area of Elephant Mausoleam. (The other Brawler quest is broken BTW, they never drop components)

Though as others have said, you can 1 shot headshot enemies with an SVD and not alert anyone else near that person and it's better just due to faster firerate compared to the 50 cal Snipers.

The 20mm Anti-Tank Rifle is the better option if you want a hard hitting Sniper Rifle that can kill Mechs/Helicopters/Exosuits. It's gotten from the DMR God Sniper quest on Ashen, he spawns usually around the Crawler thing (looks like a land battleship) near the right side extraction if you enter from City Ruins. (I'm sure you can look up youtube videos, having a Tac Cam helps too)

GM6 is better then the ntw when it comes to modibility tbh. i perfer it because the long range scopes arn't zero'd properly.

Yea I don't bother with either of them and the majority of scopes aren't zero'd correctly, you gotta just pay attention to where the bullets are going.

I got a broken NTW-20 from a random guy in the scorched battlefield.

Took it into another battle and it magically repaired itself.

Also, I just had an antitank rifle show up in my inventory fully functional and I HAVE NO IDEA HOW IT GOT THERE.

i have found 50 cal snipers on the Heavy Euruskan troopers and elite Europans but not very often.

if it was scorched Enclave i usually find them on the corpses of Euruskan heavy infantry

Any idea how the heck a 36M ATR ended up in my inventory without me at any point picking up a broken one or doing a mission that should give it as a reward?

The First Map, Scorched.. something is a good place, the europan faction at time have snipers and a lot of them at times, so take your pick.

I know I have been gathering sniper rifle in the early times from that map so best get to the place.

Damn it. Now I'm looking for one of these myself. Lost my old one due to some complete bullcrap going on in the trenches. Had to take out an entire squad with it, then another squad turned up from the same direction so I started blasting. Then ANOTHER squad appeared from right behind me at the same time.

Some Kill quests will have it as a reward or you can dupe glitch. I won't say how to do it on here but it does exist and it simple to do.
