Played for most of this most recent playtest and sniping was pretty unrewarding, after finding a good spot I would be immediately suppressed and counter sniped because of how bright the scope glint is, being further hurt by the current bug of being able to see scope glint through map geometry. I propose removing scope glint and adding tracer/muzzle flash to keep sniping rewarding and difficult but still visible.

stop relying on 20x scopes. there is no map where you "need" to use high magnification scopes

it would be dope to add longshot pointer, like when the game gives u points for a headshot, there would be a longshot and the distance of the kill

which is exactly what it does right now. did you even play the game?

oh, i never noticed

Well maybe be a bit smarter and use binoculars to see where other snipers are, so you could have an advantage over them, also dont snipe on high concentrated places of people, go a bit further back or flank a bit around.

skill issue, glintshitter
sniping effectively in BB is about moving around semi-frequently and using interesting off-angles to neutralize what your targets think is good cover
if you think picking a high-powered scope and climbing to the top of a tower is going to be effective, your experience will suffer

in this game you have to snipe like an actual sniper
its nice
or u can just be a dickhead like me and run around with a red dot/acog 1 tapping people
digital raptor
same

actual sniper rifle kills someone in one shot kek
and doesnt care about armor
but yeah you gotta change positions when sniping cause everybody knows your location, unless youre one of those sniper gods that snipe you across the map with insane bullet drop, which i meet against me and im in awe
digital raptor
you realize you can adjust your rifle to account for bullet drop right
it's a core feature of the game
digital raptor
zeroing
alt and scroll wheel, if memory serves
I rarely use this feature myself
digital ferry
oh my god well that changes my entire sniping experience
tommorow shall be the day i roll the sniper

did you know if you equip a bipod you remove the sway of your scope
digital ferry
this honestly is amazing, i dont even know which game has this feature
theres a bipod?
well that made the game so much better holy crap
digital raptor
I tell you this because one more glintshitter lying perfectly still on a hill is a free kill for me
thank you for your service
🙏🏻
digital ferry
well i use shift
haha
thanks for the info though, this game might be better than battlefield itself, has so much potentional
though battlefield is battlefield
digital raptor
this game is a lot better than battlefield, there's no "might" about it

i think rewarding sniping isnt healthy for the game when it annoys much more people than makes happy

snipers in this game don't feel like they hit as hard as battlefield snipers, but the bullet velocity is so stupid fast it makes up for it. once you get the quick action bolts, you can easily follow up shot if you miss the head

did you know if you equip a bipod you remove the sway of your scope
I swear this was a very recent change
I remember still having swap with bipod attached with sniper rifle, especially noticeable with 40x scope;
Today at shooting range had no sway even with 40x
Not that I am complaining
I believe that this is a fair buff to bipod
On another note, OP, if you wanna snipe with 40x or 20x scope and bipod and sit 1000+m away, the only kills you will get is against other ppl doing the same.
This can be fun, but don't expect to get lots of kills.

I snipe with an acog, so far my longest kill is 1116 meters and that was just to mog my friend who uses the m200

1206m, acog as well ^^

Firstly, Skill issue. Secondly, use iron sights or red dot sights and lastly , The snipers are good as they are
