Play ambush and always keep running towards the enemy, then aim and shoot. |

I only use Sever Assault for snipping, but when I do, I do it in Ambush and Skirm, and I keep moving somewhat near the battle, but out of Laser's range. I reccomend shield tanking and maybe a kincat to move from place to place quickly. Just keep moving and watch for enemies that spot you. If they do, try to lose them, or find a place to comfortably snipe or kill them with your sidearm.

lol assaults are not inteded for sniping. Try the cal.mando cause on proto lvl you can squeeze 3 damage mods on it and you get the +10% passive damage bonus for sniper rifles. No other suit will do more damage output then that and if some 1 trys to creep up onto you you can at least switch to a other light weapon and defend yourself.
Bright is the opposite of dark! Who would have thought of that?!

I have a cal assault sniper. Ck.0 with 5 complex dmg mods, State Tac SR, breach smg & hives. Really, that all (& more) that you need.
Positions: some place with a good view of the action. Find 4-5 locations and alternate frequently. My rule of thumb is if i have to reload i've been there too long.
PS, this really is a crap sniper fit. If you find someone who has the berries to say "hey, i'm a dedicated sniper & here are my secrets to success...", listen to them. My fit is expensive & only holds a single, self serving role; counter snipe & hunt cowards who hide uphigh or in the redzone.

If you're serious about Sniping don't ever invest into the Caldari Commando. The moment anyone decides do start looking for you you'll be spotted as you don't have the db to hide from Scanners (both Active & Passive).
You're also slow to the point where an area can get cleared out before you arrive at a vantage point, and you won't have the layout diversity to do other things (like hack empty objectives).

Being a sniper is damn hard if you are not squad lead. Squad Lead can point out enemies, or take them out.
Just stay out of the Redline and please use a Scout, assault or Logi. Sent. and Commandos should not have the ability to use them. Besides you have more mobility with those rather than the heavies. I don't want to have to know someone fished you out of the redline like I did to Dark Thors today (I almost did... My teammate couldn't take on a federation Gk.0 with a SMG. R.I.P Newberry who spawned in my LAV. )
S/he was stuck in the redline sniping so I called in a LAV and ran into their Redline to kill her/him Sadly I had to retreat due to redline timer.

CAL assault is big, slow, no stamina, can't scan, & with dmg mods installed you'll have no tank, and no recovery.
use a scout suit at least you'll have knees to step over cracks and pebbles. |

If they made red zones a bullet barrier (IE. you are not cleared to engage so basically your guns don't work) then I could see sniping being buffed. Right now though if sniping got even better then there would be no point not to leave the red line, especially if you can snipe the objective/s from there, which you can on some maps anyways. Hell the range nerf would of been uneccessary if they just made all weapons not function in the red line and moved all objectives away from red lines to remove any strategic concerns.
But nope, we'll just keep dancing around **** that was implemented in past battle type games ages ago. Problem with sniping was that it had to be emasculated since snipers couldn't be hunted by non-snipers or could just head glitch with a thales as some still do. |

Don't express that sentiment too loud amarr generally get to do whatever the hell they want lol. Logis have a sidearm, ScR is good at everything infantry related, and scrambler pistols get a crazy head shot bonus that isn't shared by other pistols. Oh yeah, and they get to change their entire suit layout to fit the meta (armor tanking) because teh lore!! |

Myself and most sniper will never tell you where a sweet spot is. The reason is that is our spot or so we think. Two it would give away those spots(which most know about anyways). So I am going to share some tips on how to pick the right spot.
1. The spot needs to have cover for counter sniping,
2. The spot needs a clear line of sight on a good place to kill other clones, does not need to be the objective. I have killed more people visiting a supply depot than standing near an objective.
3. Compact hives are the best. Very low signature and they resupply fast, if you get hurt they can heal you, also very little skill is needed to use them. Negative is you can only carry one and they can burn up quick.
4. Do not stay in one spot unless you are for sure you cannot be countered. Almost all places can be countered.
On Cal Assault all Damage mods minus one shield extender.the rest is for healing and making sure you can fit a decent rifle.
Can the other voices in other peoples minds hear my voices in my head????

pfft I can one shot head shot most non heavies with my covenant assault armed with a covenant sniper rifle 0 skills invested in sniping too. You can snipe with anything as long as it's armed with some sort of sniper rifle and you have a good controller. Sensitivity settings in this game are pretty borked, I have to turn it all the way down and I'm using a brand new sony ds3. third party controllers? Forget about it, no way can you snipe with that. I suspect a lot of players have trouble aiming in this game because of the poor sensitivity options. |

It has serious diminishing returns though, If I remember correctly if you stack more than 3 damage mods the stacking penalty is so high that you're better off just leaving the slots empty or adding rechargers/extenders. That's why I'm not a fan of proto sniping fits unless you're running a fat suit with a thales.
3 complex damage mods from what I remember adds like 18% damage and a 4th adds like 20% and a 5th like 21%.
I generally never stack more than 2 damage mods. |

Scouts will always be the best at active sniping.
Cannot be detected easily, and the TacSR complements their stealthy, alpha-damage role. Their physical appearance is also less conspicuous.

Calmando is the best suit for sniping as it's bonus gives extra dammage for sniper and rail rifles . Also it's got a semi decent tank that will be of use when your being counter sniped.

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.

Stay hidden, stay safe.
But pretend you're sitting on your hives. Placing hives in obvious sniping positions (that you are not occupying), such that the glow effect extends just beyond edge of cover is a nice way to distract counter snipers. I'll often top off my ammo before leaving a position and then leave the nearly depleted hive behind as a decoy. |

Try the cal.mando cause on proto lvl you can squeeze 3 damage mods on it and you get the +10% passive damage bonus for sniper rifles. No other suit will do more damage output then that and if some 1 trys to creep up onto you you can at least switch to a other light weapon and defend yourself. If you're serious about Sniping don't ever invest into the Caldari Commando. The moment anyone decides do start looking for you you'll be spotted as you don't have the db to hide from Scanners (both Active & Passive). You're also slow to the point where an area can get cleared out before you arrive at a vantage point, and you won't have the layout diversity to do other things (like hack empty objectives). I disagree. Use a tac sr and rr and you become a high damage long range specialist. Your mentality with this suit should be rr first, tac sr second. It actually might be my favorite fit out of my 6 proto suits.
