do snipers have a certain range where they wont hit the enemy? i tend to find anyone over 300m away is out of my reach. if so it makes sense and its a good idea to vary the ranges on the various types of rifles. but its frustrating when i get sniped by a 'farsight' sniper but can't get into range to get him back |

I'm not sure of the beginning range, but I know that with the Light Weapon Sharpshooter skill you can increase it a good amount. |

No, there is a point tho that the dot in the middle of the scope is too big to make an accurate shot even if it is red. It is still very much possible to kill them. I've killed people over 300 meters away and I have invested no SP into light weapons sharpshooter. |

Although it seems like there is a range limit on the rifle's, there isn't one. I personally have sniped some ppl 550m out and trust me, it took me a few shots to even hit him but keep moving the sight ever so slightly if you miss. There are a few other ppl that have killed ppl over the 600m mark but not many ppl have the patiance to wait that long to kill just one person. I'm using only lev 1 on sharpshooting and even before that I didn't see any improvement. I'm using Militia Sniper Rifle too. Just be sure to crouch before you begin shooting at long range. |

Not so sure it's unlimited in range. I made a new character to try some stuff out, and with no sharpshooter skill, at beyond 450 - 500 m with a Charged Sniper Rifle the dot won't turn red for me over an enemy, and my shots won't hit them (though I'm fairly confident they ought to have). I don't know, maybe the range is unlimited and it's just strange behaviour from the weapon. |

I haven't come across a range limit on any sniper rifle. It just gets really difficult when they're smaller than the dot. |

there is a range. Look at the bottom left. It tells you how far away they are and the % chance you'll hit. When you hit someone far away and it says 25% and you kill them? well give yourself a pat on the back. |

My dot doesn't even light up once they're beyond 500 m or so with zero sharpshooter. I've taken shots at people at that range and not been able to hurt/kill them, either, although at marginally closer ranges I have gotten kills. I do believe there is indeed a range on sniper rifles, and that it's around 500 m by default. At least insofar as charged sniper rifles go. |

Has anyone noticed the sniper rifle not doing damage even at close range under 100 meters is there some types of armor that would not allow a standard sniper rifle to damage |

It's flawed hit detection. A problem with the game, not a problem with the gun. It happens at any range but it is especially bothersome at closer ranges like 100 m, when you KNOW you hit the guy. |

DON'T TELL THEM THAT!!!!! I know I've gotten some insanely far kills with the railgun every time I get into the railgun by D? on plateaus I get 20+ kills in a match. can't wait to skill up put a nice turret on a tanked out mobile platform. |

I prefer advanced tactical rifle slightly large zoom and just enough damage to get OHK on a wounded enemy or a scout and with almost no sway between shots you can shoot in a rapid succession as in *click* *click* where a normal sniper takes about a 1-1,5s between shots to fire. |

I found that the end of the rifle is IN a hill i am using for cover when that happens. |

I don't think that matters as I don't believe the sniper rifle has a physical sort of projectile that it fires (compared to, say, a missile launcher). Plus, just anecdotally, I experience it a lot and I know from memory that a lot of those times my rifle would have been totally exposed. |

I managed to snipe people clear across the whole map. But those were just lucky shots and they seldom occur. |

On still targets I always hit. But maybe having big HDTV helps at that range. |
