As far as sniper rifles go it\u2019s all about what you\u2019re comfortable with. If you haven\u2019t already, check out my guide on<a href=\"https:\/\/ghostgamer.news\/ghost-recon-wildlands-rifle-ranging-guide\/\"> ranging your rifle in Wildlands<\/a>: You can be using the best rifle in the game yet be completely awful if you don\u2019t know where your bullet will land! If you don\u2019t want to bother calculating your own DOPE, feel free to use a rifle from my <a href=\"https:\/\/ghostgamer.news\/ghost-recon-wildlands-bullet-drop-charts\/\">Wildlands bullet drop charts<\/a>. Oh, and it\u2019s not a bad idea to skip the suppressor just for the extra muzzle velocity!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, be smart about choosing a secondary rifle: You may not be able to engage every target at longer ranges, so having a good medium-to-close range weapon as a backup is always a solid option, assuming you\u2019re not playing on Ghost mode. If you are playing Ghost mode, I\u2019d suggest the MK14 as your primary rifle just for it\u2019s versatility at both long and medium ranges &#8211; I\u2019ll be putting together a guide later on what to take with you in Ghost mode <em>(update: Here&#8217;s my <a href=\"https:\/\/ghostgamer.news\/ghost-recon-wildlands-ghost-mode-sniper-loadout\/\">Ghost Mode sniper loadout guide<\/a>)<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sniping in Wildlands: Picking a perch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Picking a good location to shoot from in Wildlands isn\u2019t as simple as you may think. There are a lot of factors to keep in mind when selecting your perch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most importantly, plan a good exfil route, and ideally plan for if you draw enemies to you. If you can, try to funnel them towards you in a single path that you can mine. Exfiltration paths are important because, should you alert the base, you may need to move quickly to avoid mortars or enemy snipers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"gg_ads_midLeaderboard1\" class=\"gg_ads__adSpot gg_ads__adSpot--midLeaderboard\">\n<script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8114869302769879\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- Home Leaderboard 1 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8114869302769879\" data-ad-slot=\"3023354288\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure the bulk of your targets are going to be within 600 meters, but also be careful to not be too close to your targets as well as roads. You don\u2019t want your firing to draw too much attention!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, make sure you can take out the generator early on. If your favorite perch doesn\u2019t have line-of-sight on the generator, move to a different one and use the other as a backup!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Before you shoot: Scouting out the target<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you\u2019ve got your perch situation nailed down, whip out your drone and start scouting. Make good use of the rebel recon ability, and be sure to watch for patrols. You may realize your perch situation is still not quite ideal, and now is the time to look around again before you start firing off rounds!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sniping in Wildlands: Pulling the trigger<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Alright, it\u2019s finally time to take your shots. Your first targets aside from the generator? Snipers.. Always snipers. These are the only enemies that are going to be an immediate threat without warning: If they spot you, you need to get to cover quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After that, I suggest picking off targets around the mortar region just to give yourself extra time should the base become fully aware of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make use of your AI teammates to handle groups of enemies and patrols: Fully maxed out you can take out 3 additional people other than your personal target, so don\u2019t hesitate to use them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When targets are entrenched, you might need to consider infiltration. This is where your secondary comes into play, so don\u2019t let it just sit and collect dust on it\u2019s sling!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Oops: What to do when you\u2019ve been spotted<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It happens: You missed a shot and the target is in cover, and the entire base gets alerted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No problem! First, move to cover. Next, call in rebel reinforcements to your location. Then bring up your drone and call up a rebel diversion between you and the base: This will be enough to allow you to safely relocate to a secondary perch should you choose, or just hide until the coast is clear!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just make sure to move if the base is capable of mortar fire; If you\u2019re spotted, you are a prime target for mortars, so get some distance from the perch!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s it Ghosts &#8211; happy sniping!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey there Ghosts!
