I played any popular to not so popular FPS.
In the years I played I picked up a lot of skills that are useful in almost all FPS, how to avoid sniping is one of them.
But its just impossible here, unless you have cover every 30 centimeters (which you don't if you move from point to point).

Edit:
In addition, even if you are in cover, there is almost always another sniper just lining up a shot while you're licking your wounds behind cover.

One problem players make is that when they are behind cover they assume they are safe.
Your problem right now is using cover positions without checking the surroundings(The first mistake I realized you made when you started this thread.)

Also, have you ever thought of countering the snipers by acting as bait to give your teammates enough time take them out? Or are you too focused on avoiding them and allowing them to be bold?

And they can insta kill you out of nowhere in an unreachable place. I'm constantly hearing the bullets from the snipers whistle near me, I seriously heared 5 bullets travel one by one near me in a time period of one and a half seconds. They don't even have to risk their dropsuit because they're 99.99% safe.

Don't run in a strait line, backtrack, zig zag, jump( although this one is least effective). As a sniper I can tell you that running in a strait line makes you an easy target. You think I don't know that? I have done pretty much everything you can imagine to avoid sniping. But as soon as I get out of cover, BANG, dead. None of the anti-sniper movement works if you have a decent sniper, heck I pick it up once in a while and do pretty good against those anti-sniper movements, and I'm not a good sniper. aden slayer wrote: Duck, cover and run.

There is no such thing as checking if the surroundings are clear when the enemy hides behind cliffs kilometers away with only the top of their head visible. Your argument is invalid. And my teammates can't take them out, they're in a safe spot with only snipers being able to get them, but they became very comfy where they are so if a sniper tries to take position the enemy snipers will just obliderate him.

Please tell me how to dodge them when they have a 360 degree view of me.
