Quick Introduction
I made this map for my own personal use so that I can know what sniper spots can see what areas, for my own immersive solo mosin sniper exit camper experience. My use for this map is to draw a line from where the bounty is being banished to the nearest exit so that I know what sniper spot gets the most coverage on the enemy. You can use this map inversely if you would like to know what spots you can be seen from in common sniper towers.

Darrin Shipyard and Fort Bolden sniper towers are not included as they only cover their own areas and cannot see outside their compound.

Also all sightlines are just me eyeballing it from the tower and drawing it on the map and may not be entirely accurate.

Hope you find this guide helpful you little sniper rats (:
The Map


- Teal dots are the location of each tower
- Red = Pelican Island Prison
- Yellow = Kingsnake Mine
- Blue = Weeping Stone Mill
- Pink = First Testimonial Church Left
- Green = First Testimonial Church Right

The colors indicate what areas each sniper spot can see.
Pelican Island Tower
Kingsnake Mine
Weeping Stone Mill
First Testimonial Church (Left)
First Testimonial Church (Right)
Bonus Cheeky Sniper Spot
Bonus Cheeky spot to get a bit more height at the sniper spot at Kingsnake Mine.

At the Kingsnake Mine Sniper spot there is this slanted pole If you just run at it and jump a few times you can just climb up it.


Do note that standing on top of this pole was considered on the map as it gives you a little bit more sightline over hills and into compounds.
Ending Cleanup
I really like the extreme long distance playstyle, and this new map caters to that playstyle a good bit more than the previous maps and gives you some brutal sightlines. So now that the long and medium ammo headshot insta kill range has been doubled why not try some 400M+ shots.


This is my first guide and I hope this helped you in your sniping (or countersniping) endeavors on the new map and I wish you a good hunt.

Is there a guide for the two other maps? Do they already exist?

@Draconium666 That is actually a good point.

@Poofy The reason why I don't like it is because it shows up in the Hunt guides when you open steam overlay for the past week or longer. A lot of people probably read it meaning it is advertising a playstyle that is just not fun for anyone else in the game.

This is precisely why I made this guide, god I LOVE people getting ass mad at a map about what sniper towers can see.

This playstyle leads to camping and slows down the pacing...

This playstyle sucks ass.

I did find a small sniper tower at moses poultry that could see a decent amount but decided not to add it as having yellow red and purple colors overlapping with eachother looked like visual cancer.
