Alterlai 0 Posted June 18, 2012 Hello everyone,I was wondering: What is your best sniper spot?Leave your reactions down below. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
orbital 10 Posted June 18, 2012 Behind the scope?If you want to support your team, your best spot is where you have a good overview and can distinguish friend from foe.But by the sound of it, you just want to kill players, climb on top of a building in one of the major towns and shoot away.

adamater 3 Posted June 18, 2012 On the hills, if you are on top of a building you are easy prey for other snipers who arent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asuka 20 Posted June 18, 2012 Get a ghillie suit and head for the hills.Either that or go to the industrial area in cherno and pray someone doesn't spawn right behind you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

U.B.C.S. Ravin 326 Posted June 19, 2012 Haha Big. Thats a nice spot.I generally actually enjoy buildings laying beside them facing Hills, but thats just me killing other bandits/survivors.In my story we killed a bandit from a hill, then two more running up the hill to kill us and finally two more in the city. Movement is key.Always nice to have friends and spotters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McStabbyface 0 Posted June 19, 2012 Nowadays? The best sniper spot is on the coast standing waist deep in the ocean. All the fresh meat can't shoot back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plaguetongue 47 Posted June 19, 2012 kneestanding inside a tree, or lay down in the grass in a ghillie suit.however make sure the server dont show names when ya aim at someone cuz that is used for nonsnipers to spot you, find a high place and dont always use the absolute best posision cuz they will look for you there first, overwiev and stealth, however i mostly hunting night using NV googls, M4A1 SD and my dear DMR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jan (DayZ) 1 Posted June 20, 2012 My favourite spot is on top of the fire station on NW airfield.I thought about just camping it out there after I got a m14 from 2 guys in stary sobor, I was somewhat bored of just running around in cities shooting at every noob with a makarov so I went over there and supplied up on meat & water on the way.When I got myself settled down I started the waiting game, you can just lay down by the wall on top of there and you will only be somewhat visible from the forrest on the north-east side of the hangars/firestation. Depending on how far view distance your computer can handle i gues you can have a pretty good overview over the entire place.The big groups i've encountered are so sure of their own abilities/firepower that they dont bother avoiding zombies, they just shoot them with their loud-ass sniper rifles and whatnot.They never bother to clean up after themselves either, leaving a trail of bodies.Managed to stay alive and kill about 14-15 people up there, from 5 different "groups", got sniped by some ghillie bastard,(last man standing) that managed to run behind some trees and snipe me 2-3 minutes later.PROS: 2 out of 5 encounters have been 4-6 man groups. Medium geared, varying degree of teamplay. The rest are solo or duo, some of them in pretty good gear(nvgs and shit).Quite exciting when they understand where you are and want vengeance for their fallen comrades.CONS: Can be very boring(bring a book, lol) for long stretches of time.Needs to be well supplied in terms of food/water/heatpads.ADVICE: This will be more fun if you got a buddy you can play with, that is able to handle the "do nothing for 20 minutes, untill the shit hits the fan" gameplay this presents.Having no backup was what got me in the end, hard to keep track of the exact movement of 2 people by yourself.

He was camping on top of the NW fire station. From my position I can clearly see the hangars, the control tower and the fire station. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zarlak 339 Posted June 20, 2012 On top of the fire station is the most obvious spot ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zantiago 119 Posted June 20, 2012 Well, i can simply say that to the guy's picking spots within the airfield, you are makeing my job easy! :DAs im laying outside the airfield, which makes the range to the firestation 800-900meters..So far i haven't died on the airfield either, so i guess i have a good spot..Where is the question right?A good sniper never reveals his spot!

bobdole20 0 Posted June 20, 2012 It varies entirely by situation, and I'm usually supporting team mates in town but what I generally look for is:1. Off the beaten path2. Good elevation + cover3. Minimal counter sniping spots.4. Ease of egress after fire, especially if having to re-locate to put down additional fire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
