Use a Cal scout suit seriously.
1. Lower profile- also add in 1 dampener to make it harder for sniper hunters.
2. Good scan radius- Id recommend adding a range extender as well.
3. Cloak- combined with profile and scan radius, this combo allows you to slip away quite easily undetected.
4. Speed- Has enough speed as is to traverse the map quickly from spot to spot easily. Also great for a fast get away.
General sniping tips:
A. stay on the ground. Do not use uplinks on high ground, or use a dropship to get to them. If you want to do this use a Sent or commando suit. If you use the commando, keep a swarm launcher as your back up to keep dropships off of you.
B. if you take too many shots and the player is looking your direction before you kill them, assume they will respawn and proceed to hunt you down. This means you wilol have to move locations ASAP.
C. Try not to shoot protostompers that are in the open near you unless you plan on moving after. These are players from bigger corporations and run proto suits only. They have money and will throw it away on dropships, or even waste a Thale to take you out.
D. Do not stay scoped in the whole time. Look around the terrain to check for snipers and counter-snipers.
E. If you hear a vehicle called in, look to see what it is,especially if you are doing decent. If it is an enemy dropship, change locations now! They are hunting for you!
F. Nanohives will blind you! If enemies are around them, shoot the nanohives first.
G. Do not sit on your nanohive. Also try to put them into locations that cannot be spotted by counter-snipers easily.
H. If you kill me I will know exactly where your at, and your possible escape routes. You done goofed.
As for sniping locations, you will just have to experiment with each map to find spots. Be aware that each battle can be fought dramatically different on each map and socket. As a sniper you will have to adjust to were the bulk of the fighting is going on. You generally want to be shooting at the bigger concentrations of players, as they will be preoccupied by your friendly forces and will be less likely to hunt you down.
Lastly, an overwhelmingly amount of the maps and sockets are problematic for sniping. Many even pointless and glitchy. Even at 150m or less, sniping into big complexes will not render players and buildings correctly. You will see honly the torso of players floating through the air, and things like doorways and open vents will appear to be shut as if by magic. A player just inside a door will not turn your sights red, so if they are sniping at you, you will never know from were. Another point about complexes there is little to no high ground around them, and yet that have huge walls. Even if you get to a decent spot to see into one of these complexes, the fight will have to be in your very small window that you can see into them. This will lead you to having little to no kills.
