This channel is all about snipers, sniping and FPS shooters! I mainly do Battlefield 2042 Sniping but I also play Call of Duty, Battlefront and I love Battle Royale. I often play solos, duos and squads on my livestream. I have 1000 hours experience in every Battlefield and I hope to play more FPS games in 2021. I hope you enjoy my 2042 sniper gameplay as much as I do making it.

This took a few days of prep to write it all out and create. Appreciate likes for the algorithm. Hope it helps!

Knew most of it but just wanted to compliment you on it. First off I really like how the segments flowed into one another. Really helps with players not only learning, but comprehension of the why. This ensures that basically laziness is the only way to fail. Secondly the editing was spot on. The footage was directly related to the topic currently being discussed and, just like the tutorial itself, flowed quite seamlessly. Thirdly(?) your nuanced details/examples show how much you truly appreciate the game. Which then translates to viewer appreciation, and thus a community grows just a bit bigger and better. Thank you

If there's ever a Battlefield Bible made, this is a perfect entry. This makes me want to grind out sniping even though I've always been garbage at it.

You know that moment, when you exit a theatre, had a great experience and now have the feeling that you want to be or act like that specific hero of that movie? This video feels the same way. This might be the best sniping-guide, i've ever seen in any game. Clear structure, on the point with every information, easy to understand and not a second boring. Now i want to do sniping in BF 2042 all day! Well done! :)

Summary:
- Don't stop moving, only stop to shot
- Don't lie down, only when necessary behind cover
- When enemies are incoming - fall back, find another cover behind, and don't just wait until they get closer
- Always switch to a secondary weapon when the enemy is close. You can try to shoot with a sniper rifle and then switch to secondary if the enemy is not too close.
- Scope in for a couple of seconds, then remove the scope and look around without the scope for a few seconds
- Don't hold your breath until u r making a shot
- Aim for the head if the enemy is not moving, aim for the body if they are moving
- When fighting multiple enemies, always try to take down the enemy who's aiming at you first
- Best spots are places where you're overlooking the enemies or where you can aim at places with high traffic
- Try to find spots where you can aim & shoot from multiple angles, like different sides of a cover, multiple windows, etc.
- When behind cover, always peek at a different angle every single time
- Versus enemy snipers, keep moving until they make their shot, then immediately stop, aim and shoot
- When moving around the map, avoid open spaces, choose a route with cover points
- Sniper bullets in bf2042 often have significant bullet drop & slow speed
- Try to stick to the same sniper rifle build for some time
- Recommends DXR over NTW-50 for sniping infantry
- If you are overwhelmed by vehicles - switch to the NTW
- Recommends Mackay (with a grapple hook) for aggressive sniping and Angel for defensive sniping

Such a great guide! Thank you!

I have been playing BF since 1942 days (mostly sniping) and this is the first time i've ever thought about waiting for the enemy sniper to shoot so that you can safely aim at them while they reload. Cheers!

You know when someone tells you something that seems so obvious but instead of feeling stupid or angry, you realise it's almost a proxy epiphany? Don't care if it's been 8 years, just glad I've got this. Brilliant guide...looking forward to practicing and pt 2.

The fact that the 6x and the 10x have no mil dots or stadia lines is infuriating to me, as a Sniper main and former actual Army sniper. The lack of spotting scope equipment is bad enough, but giving us completely useless optics is just no bueno. I do love the feel of sniping in general in this game, having decently realistic ballistics is sooo much fun for me.

[tomhughes]

As an expriences sniper going back to BF2 the biggest thing is cover as stated in the video and slight overlook of objectives is key to keeping alive which equals more kills. Great video!

[rtorius]

Good tips!! I believe that “Never prone” thing is for those who plays a agressive sniping. For long range sniping, there is a correct use for the prone.

[ibabcock]

Irish is also a decent specialist for Sniping, crouching and scoping through the transparent glass section on his shield allows you to line up headshots safely, pop up and take the shot, and then crouch back down behind his shield. His trophy system will also stop grenades thrown by enemies to flush you out from cover

[Mokeysniper]

yes bestow it upon me the big fat rain of sniping Knowledge.

I Started sniping in BF because of your stream. I started watching back in the days where you also worked as a bartender! Congrats on the sucess and you`re an absolute Sniper Monster!

At 6:20 Stodeh shows a subtle example of scanning your surroundings when reloading. He knows that he will continue to kill the players at the truck trailer and that they are not going anywhere since they are pinned and unaware of his position. So, he uses his reload time to see if there are any there are any closer threats to his right. It may seem counterintuitive to take your eyes of the targets, but this is how high level snipers play and avoid sneaky lone wolf flanks.

These tips helped out so much. been sniping ever since BF3 & it's nice to have a refresher for Battlefield2042.

[holylettuce]

Sniping is the most consistent thing in this game. Other than unlocking stuff for rifles for when they get buffed. Sniping is all I do

[bleach_meds]

I actually like the idea of running Casper as a sniper. Being able to take cover and see surroundings with a drone PLUS the ability to take out a tank with the Drone/C5 combo is helpful. Ammo can be picked up from dead bodies if you really need it, and you have the intel advantage over mid range fighters around you.

You forgot to mention that you must do a long range t-bag when you take out an enemy sniper.. for science

[stevejobs]

I miss BF4 sniping. Having to set your drop made it feel more rewarding.

[davidmacy]

Another thing to add to his long range info is if you get comfortable enough knowing the distance to drop ratio, you can use the Q spot to get the distance before taking any shots. Its an alternative way of long range shooting especially if you are running low on ammo. Eventually with enough practice and perhaps map knowledge, its all second nature.
