Sniper Inventory Tips?

[Hamzah 0]

Hey guys, im looking for some help building my sniper inventory. For the last few days, ive been using the combination of the L85 and AS50/M107. Normally, i just use the L85 to thermal scan for players and than rangefind them followed by a shot with the 50 cal. I also have several other weopons in a camp of mine such as the M4 Silenced, M4A3 and several light machine guns. What do you suggest i use?

Make sure you bring at least one heatpack during the day, two at night. I prefer the M24 myself, but L85 and any sniper is probably your best combo.

M14 AIM, DMR, Night Vision Goggles, 6 DMR clips, food, drinks, medical supplies, Rangefinder, have fun.

I thought temperature got disabled? What do heatpacks do?

Snipers get cold laying down in the mud.

cant see infront of face

MUST BE GONE

theres a temperature indicator (always been there btw) on the bottom right with food/drink/blood etc...

i use AS50 / M9SD / L85 usually

sometimes i swap out the L85 for M4A1 Holo to get some luls with the 203 launcher

3 mags of nato rounds, 2 stanag

2 painkillers, 2 morphines, 2 blood bags all of these 1 in inventory 1 in bag

1 epi-pen, 3 cooked meat, 2-3 drinks, 1 heatpack, 1 antibiotics

i personally carry a satchel around for luls, and my trusty good guy karma mountain dew i found.

edit: 4 bandages / 4 m9SD mags

1 extra bandage in the bag

thinks thats it

At the moment, I'm using the M14/DMR combo. Love the versality. Now if I can just find some NVGs again, I'll be set.

Depends on your style, of course. Previous to my current setup, I had the AS50/L85 combo until the L85 glitched out of my inventory. The scope on the L85 is great for spotting targets/threats, but if someone gets close to you and spots you, your only reliable combat option is going to be your side arm because of the L85 thermal scope isn't well suited to shorter range combat. In practical terms, I consider the L85 to be a thermal scope that just happens to have a rifle attached to it. After my L85 glitched out, I picked up an M4A3 CCO and loved it. It seemed to be a great compliment for my AS50. I don't use a tent, so my options are limited but personally, if I had your setup (tent/extra weapons), I'd carry the L85 at night, when sniping from a static position, and for counter-sniping and the M4A3 if I planned to be more mobile. The L85 thermals are usefull, but not that useful if you're staying alert; counter-sniping being the BIG exception.

Again, it really depends on your style. WIth the AS50/L85, I was doing a lot more sniping from a static position and waiting...a lot. With the DMR/M14, I'm being more mobile and 'stalking' certain routes/areas.

Maybe you should learn to use the indicators on the right hand side of the screen.

And yes, I just had to post this even after Buffjesus did.
