Unturned: Snipers

This guide will explain in detail, EVERY sniper (Military / Ranger / Civillian) to allow you to make a better choice on what to use in combat, and what may be more suited to the map you are on!

Civillian:

Civillian

The civillian is one of the most useful sniper classes as the ammo is quite common, and the guns are eay to maintain and often can do a decent amount of damage.

Schofield

Weapon: Schofield
Ammo: Civillian Grade (Clip size is 1x1)
Clip Size: 5 Bullets
Damage: 80 (With Helmet)
Size: 5X2
Range: 200m
Slot: Primary
Firerate: 50
Rarity: Uncommon

Opinion:
Brilliant gun for PEI and Washington, the landscape is really in favor of the Schofield in PEI as the hills are not distant from each other, and most major areas such at the military base span over 500m, meaning you can angle yourself in good positions almost 90% of the time.


Hawkhound

Weapon: Hawkhound
Ammo: Civillian Grade (Clip size is 1x1)
Clip Size: 8 Bullets
Damage: 80 (With Helmet)
Size: 5X2
Range: 200m
Slot: Primary
Firerate: 50
Rarity: Uncommon

Opinion:
Very simillar to the Schofield, only I'd reccomend taking it to washington, as the extra 3 Bullets make better for the large scale terrain, and allow more forgiving shots for the less experienced sniper.


Sportshot

Weapon: Sportshot
Ammo: Civillian Grade (Clip size is 1x1)
Clip Size: 10 Bullets
Damage: 23 (With Helmet)
Size: 5X2
Range: 200m
Slot: Primary
Firerate: 4
Rarity: Uncommon

Opinion:
Not the best idea, its damage is to low to be considered a proper Sniper, however the firerate allows it to be good for a quick attack, but as a long range weapon its not adviced, as the damage is way to low, the target would easily take cover / run before you do any real damage.

Ranger:

Ranger

More suited to Russia the ranger weapons are long lasting and hard hitting weapons, the ammo type is usualy harder to find, but in the long run is alot more rewarding, then the military counter parts.


Snayperskya

Weapon: Snayperskya
Ammo: Ranger Grade (Clip size is 1x1)
Clip Size: 7 Bullets
Damage: 65 (With Helmet)
Size: 5X2
Range: 250m
Slot: Primary
Firerate: 10
Rarity: Rare

Opinion:
A very good weapon for a sharpshooter, or someone looking to train thier aim, the weapon wroks wonders on Russia, as the terrain is much more spaced out, but very open, meaning the sniper has many ways he can choose to attack his target, And with such a good firerate, and recoil he is able to take Multiple Highly accurate shots, at the given target. (Also amazing for groups of players)

Ekho

Weapon: Ekho
Ammo: Ranger Grade (Clip size is 1x1)
Clip Size: 7 Bullets
Damage: 109 (Without Helmet)
Size: 5X2
Range: 300m
Slot: Primary
Firerate: 50
Rarity: Legendary

Opinion:
Brilliant for any maps you can obtain it, the 300m range is amazing for all maps, the the ammo is very powerful and creates a loud noise, so is capable of scaring away bigger clans of people, as well as letting people in the nearby area know, someone is armed and dangerous.

Military:

The military is the top of the brand, with high power, and high range, and quite common ammo.

Grizzly

Weapon: Grizzly
Ammo: Military Grade (Clip size is 1x1)
Clip Size: 5 Bullets
Damage: 109 (Without Helmet)
Size: 5X2
Range: 300m
Slot: Primary
Firerate: 5
Rarity: Legendary

Opinion:
This is the best sniper in the game, its got 300m Range, and can fire round after round without the need to unscope, witch NO other sniper has, backed up with its same damage as the other military sniper the Timberwolf, it is the by far best choice for ANY sniper, if you are experienced or not, this sniper can perform in ALL maps, under ALL threats at amazing power.


Timberwolf

Weapon: Timberwolf
Ammo: Military (Clip size is 1x1)
Clip Size: 6 Bullets
Damage: 109 (Without Helmet)
Size: 5X2
Range: 300m
Slot: Primary
Firerate: 50
Rarity: Legendary

Opinion:
Outstanding sniper, for the PEI and Washington maps, as the ammo is plentiful and the power combined with the range is perfect, the only downside is the Timberwolfs steep bullet arc for the longer shots, however this is by far the experienced snipers best friend.


Sabertooth

Weapon: Sabertooth
Ammo: Military Grade (Clip size is 1x1)
Clip Size: 10 Bullets
Damage: 60 (With Helmet)
Size: 5X2
Range: 250m
Slot: Primary
Firerate: 13
Rarity: Rare

Opinion:
Very good marksman sniper for a new sniper, the ammo is large allowing you to miss a few shots, as well as not needing to zoom out, allowing you more accurate ranged kills. The weapon is suited to Russia / PEI as the 250m range is brilliant at covering the vast majority of the land as well as performing outstandingly in both maps.

@below
Matamorez is considered an assault rifle due to its full-auto capabilities.

[ChigBungus]

Hey im not sure about this one, but what about the makeshift rifles? (Birch, Maple and Pine) they're pretty good for sniping if you can find civi boxes but not the rifles (schofield and hawkhound) themselves.

[Snikrot's Nine Inches]

Nice job deleting your previous post, TheCanadianApp1e.

[O.G Business]

@ThecanadianApp1e, if you wish to insult my guide go ahead :P

But for the love of Unturned please try to make a relevant point to back up why mines bad, instead orf using a out of date 2.0 guide...

[N0Game]

@TheCanadianApp1e you do realize that the guide you are referencing is for unturned 2, and as a result, is out dated, and displays no relavent info.

If you want a real guide about sniping, here it is.

I forgot to mention one more thing, it's called a magazine, not a "clip". You put clips in your hair, mags go in guns.

Magazine Size or Mag. Size would've been a better choice.

[Snikrot's Nine Inches]

Don't throw the Sportshot in this guide, it doesn't even have the proper damage to be a sniper-rifle. And as for the Matamorez, it's not a sniper-rifle either (I'm glad you didn't add it), it'd be pretty easy to slap a Dot Sight or some other non-magnified optic on it and go Rambo. Try doing that with a Timberwolf or an Ekho. Why yes, I'm starting shit "For the lulz". ( ͡⊙ ͜ʖ ͡⊙)

[RainOfPain125]

Matamorez was changed to be a shitty Assault Rifle, instead of a Sniper Rifle
