Top 3 Sniper Rifles in Ghost Recon Wildlands & How To Get Them

Running and gunning like RAMBO is always fun in action games but in this game, sniping from afar is the most satisfying experience. This is especially so when you’re perched on higher ground like a hill or prone nicely among the rocks on a nearby mountain, looking down your sights, taking aim at those delicious targets with your trusty sniper rifle. My Top 3 Sniper Rifles are : HTI, MSR and MK14 and I'll show you how to get them all without being over powered.

HTI & How To Get It

The HTI is my personal favourite with strongest damage amongst the three. The downside of course, is its extremely low rate of fire.You’ll need to be confident in your shots as the next round that leaves the chamber will take quite a while. This gun embodies the saying ‘one hit one kill. Miss your target and prepare for the cartel to call on reinforcements and hunt you down.





Best used against hard targets like enemy choppers, jammers and generators, and long range kills of enemy units.

MSR & How To Get It

My next recommendation is the MSR, touted by most sites as the best sniper rifle you can find in the game. I disagree to a certain extent, because it does less damage to your target while having almost the same atrocious reload time as the HTI. It’s also not effective against hard targets like enemy choppers that can attack in multiples as you explore more dangerous areas. As I mentioned earlier, the joy of this game is to stealthily take out enemies from afar, but with the MSR, you’ll only shine at medium range against soft targets like enemy grunts and soldiers. It is however, more forgiving when you miss because of its higher rate of fire.





Best used at medium range against enemy cartel members and Unidad soldiers.

MK14 & How To Get It

Neither a sniper rifle nor an assault rifle, the MK14 falls right in between with its good range, high accuracy, faster rate of fire and bigger magazine size. It’s best equipped if you’re the guy supporting the sniper and want some medium range assault power when the Rambo on your team runs into a bit of trouble. To compensate for lower damage vs HTI and MSR, you’ll have to fire a lot more shots to take down your target, hence the bigger magazine size. This also means it’s a lot more forgiving if you fail to snipe your target as its high rate of fire gives you a faster reaction time. Irating hard targets is not recommended.





Best used at medium range against weaker enemy types.

whats the best scope?

[sohn.MAV1C★]

TAC-50 and HTI are my fave ones. M110 with silencer for quick take-outs in a row

[Scout Gaming]

L115A3 is definitely my favorite, even though it's basically the MSR but worse, it looks way cooler and is more satisfying to use

[balistickduck]

Id still pick the SR15 anyday

[jokerace45]

I also got the BFG - 50 or the 50A. Not sure which anymore. Got it with the upgraded version of the game. Tried other sniper rifles and then that one and I stuck with the BFG.

[Blunder Bro]

BFG-50A is better than HTI.

[Myrtsi]

HTI from the tier 1 mode is best since it has low bullet drop and 1 shot every genereator and vehicle

[Cloud.Sauce]

best ones are M1891 and L115a3

[TerrorTheCat]

I'm curious, whats your opinion of the L115A3 sniper rifle? I think its comparable to the MSR.

[Buttercreamfish]

The HTI is the best out of all the snipers, it one shots every vehicle, and as long as you know how to arc a shot range is never a problem. The MSR is basically just a dollar store HTI. The MK14 isn't even a sniper rifle it's a DMR.
