From the Fox Guide: Frontline, A Medium Frame Infantry Users Manual:
Quote:Not being Sniper bait
New players die to Snipers all the time, while veterans only die to Snipers who are either really good or just plain lucky. The difference has nothing to do with gear or skill points, although they may help. The difference is that veteran players know how not to be Sniper bait.
Not being Sniper bait involves never standing still, moving unpredictably, and an awareness of both where Snipers are likely to be, and where to find cover from them.
Never stand still! Always keep moving. If you are guarding an objective or covering someone who is hacking, you should be pacing like a child who has had too much sugar. If you are ducked behind cover letting your shields regenerate, you should be shimmying back and forth as much as your cover will allow. Even when you are hacking you can move a little, although if you move too far you will cancel your hack, so only half a step and back when hacking.
DonGÇÖt Move Predictably! For a Sniper, hitting a merc who is running in a straight line toward or away from them is almost as easy as hitting a merc who is standing still. Hitting a merc who is running perpendicular to them is a little harder, but if you are running straight, and at a constant speed, the Sniper will simple place their crosshairs on a spot 5m ahead of your head. Then it is simply a matter of pulling the trigger at the moment your head passes the centre of their sights.
So donGÇÖt let a sniper know where your head is going to be ahead of time. Zig and zag at unpredictable intervals. If you are sprinting, stop sprinting for half a second, every once in a while to throw the sniperGÇÖs timing off.
Get to know where the Snipers are likely to be, and try to keep something between you and them. Try to use girders, walls, or rock outcrops to break line of site between you and prime sniper locations. If there are Snipers or gunners on the roof, or on overhead pipes, figure out where they have a field of fire and where they donGÇÖt. and:
Quote:Locating and calling Sniper Positions
Knowing where enemy snipers are is important for your entire squad. If you have counter snipers, they will need to locate the enemy snipers to take them out, and the rest of your squad will want to try to keep cover between them and the snipers as much as possible.
If you see the contrail of a sniper bullet it will point you back to the sniperGÇÖs location, but you probably wonGÇÖt see it if you are the target. If you are hit by a sniper, or you hear a sniper bullet strike close to you, pay attention to your cover and which directions have an open field of fire on your position. If you are standing against a wall you can narrow the sniperGÇÖs location to a 180 degrees radius. If you are standing in a corner, you can narrow it down to a 45 degrees. If there are other structures or obstructions nearby you can narrow it down further. Then from the possible directions which are left you can try to identify if there are any popular sniper nests that have a line of fire on your position.
Call out where you think the sniper may be.
If you get killed by a Sniper, look at the kill report. Call out the name of the sniper, and the distance of the shot, as well as where you were when you died. Your position and the sniperGÇÖs distance from you will indicate whether the sniper is at the edge of the map, or somewhere much closer. The name is important for your squadGÇÖs counter sniper to know if they got the right guy. Often when looking for an experienced Sniper you will first find an inexperienced sniper who is less skilled at disguising their position.
If you see a sniper, call it out. Describe their location as clearly as possible. Knowing exactly where the sniper is, is always better than knowing approximately where the sniper is. Just remember, there may be more Snipers out there, so donGÇÖt let your guard down. |
