Ghost Recon Wildlands Sniper Rifles

ChowYunFats · Apr 7, 2017

Hi everyone I like to ask a simple rite out of the box question about the sniper rifles

What was your longest shot and do you find the targets seem to vanish from site at around 700 Meters (Console version) My longest shot been 730 Meters prior to that 610

That's my question

Thanks

Only managed to get 400 and a few meters. I haven't bothered to try calculating my shoot further than that.

Depending on game render distance I believe its now fixed (since patch 2) that the game won't render Ai characters past 700m. In the closed and open beta's we were getting sniper kills of 1,000m +

so far though I've only managed 502m using the L115A3

My longest is like 460m. Last I knew about 550m was the max for rendering, but this could have been updated for by a patch. I've seen videos with extreme range by having one of your friends stand near an enemy and call out misses. I saw a YT video a while back, but it might have been alpha or beta.

I usually play with 2 other friends. Ive hit 717m, my buddies have hit 728m and 778m

supercat · Apr 25, 2017

I hit 448m lately thanks to the Live Challenges.

The problem with this game, at least on console, is that enemy NPC will still be rendered in your scope from >400m away, but the (small) objects around it may not.

Yup, it's probably what makes the open world work without load screens. Damn you Wildlands for not giving me what I want when you give me what I want! ?

supercat · Apr 26, 2017

Yep. Objects in the distant or off-camera will be in lower poly or even not loaded, while framerate for moving objects also decreased.

I've hit from 595 using a hti, took a few shots mind.

That's pretty good. Only just broken in the 500s myself

Seems no matter how much I try I can't break that first shot with my L115 at 505m ... I'm not great with the sniper rifle but I can see how I could get used to it more due to the influx of Season Challenges insisting on kills at range.

I suck at sniping and prefer to use a g28 or a sr25...

I was EXACTLY the same until I got the L115

Look to the current season challenges as sniper practice. Clearly the more you use the same weapon the better you get to judge distances etc. As I was moving between the G28 and either an HTI or SR25 I never really got the hang of it...however I've now concentrated on only using the L115 at ranges over 150m. Most of the time I'm running with MP7, P277 & L115 now.... I clear my entry point, sentries and snipers using the L115 and just move in to up close from there on. The MP7 is as silent as a pistol and has a better RoF and range if needed. Though I can use the Sig277 upto 80m having the MP7 means I can at least engage further in an emergency.

supercat · Apr 29, 2017

That's true. I changed sniper rifle a few times until I found myself a G28 and then now I'm using Dragunov SVD, even in NR. I screw up my calculation everytime I change and trying to adapt to one. Keep in mind I also usually play without marker, so my calculation partly rely on my own view.

Cool, I will try that sniper rifle... I typically use a sub for up close, mp7 is a great weapon, I rate the vector as well but currently use the psg. I'm happy sniping up to around 300.

P90 for QCB or no go.

Oh. daesu · Apr 30, 2017

much like the mp7.

P90 does a better job, but mp7 is easier (handling?) when close. So, when I don't what surprises there are, I like a mp7 in my hands. But still, the P90 does a better job.

Vector, I think is better for lower level enemies with damage and rof as opposed to penetration. Maybe I should test that.

supercat · Apr 30, 2017

P90 is ultra stable and good fire rate, though the damage is considerably one of the lowest.

Vector is great for the reload speed. I'm bored looking at it thanks to Division last time.

MP7 is great for spreading lead at someone's chest from 1 meter away. YOLO

Picked up the l115, you are right it's a solid rifle...

Probably because the P90 is a peashooting laser, hits its target, just doesn't cause a lot of damage. If I remember right, doesn't the RL weapon fire smaller pistol rounds?
