Sniper's Guide to Everything (under construction)

If only they gave snipers crossbows... I'd have lightning bolts for bolts XD

NICE article MC. Get's me thinking how important piss actually is to your arsenal.

Some other useful information about sniping:

1. An UNCHARGED sniper snap shot is capable of dealing 150 damage. That is then, capable of killing a: Scout, Sniper, Medic, an Engineer, a Spy, and a Demoman wielding an Eyelander.

2. A FULL-CHARGED sniper shot is capable of dealing 450 damage, enough to kill a fully-buffed Heavy. These can kill: Soldiers, Pyros, Demomen, and the Heavies.

Piss is actually quite useful! It deals mini-crits, which is 130% of base damage towards coated enemies. Though I wonder why piss does not extinguish opponents on fire, oh well. Also what you mean by a snapshot is a shot in the head, then it deals 150 damage.

Oooh. I overlooked writing 'head' to those two tips. GAH! Thanks for that MC.

They should make sniper piss short circuit Engie buildings for a period of time

One three-letter word, TriEdge: LOL. That is the most awesome thing I have ever heard. +rep for the lulz.

That is the most original suggestion I have ever seen. If only we did a petition to Valve for the extra feature.

Indeed... Wish they let sniper pee short circuit the Engie buildings. Then the sniper would truly be a credit to team. That and I won't be wasting jarates when I throw them at sentries when I bump into them again =/

O.o i say logictech mouse is the key to awesome sniping <3!!!

why i hate sniping?


because i shot that motha effin head and then a split second later they HS me,

when the kill cam is zooming at you i see a bloody head but hey valve decide not to register my HS

guess that's what happens if you live in indo

is not possible!!

I've been trying to confuse those lower than pro level sniper ( unlike you MC you godlike) by spinning my self + jumping from the sniper deck to the grounds below, not just running down. goddamn is this sentence right????

oh yeah and i got this cool quote from nerfno*

"I vow, from this day forth, to hunt all scouts with the passion that he denied the Engies upon this day. Woe betide the scout, for no amount of carbonated drink can save thee from mine wrath. "

You know bullz, I find it incredibly difficult to snipe at moving targets, even if they are just scrambling here and there; not knowing my presence. If you want to avoid getting sniped at, try going into covered places, Also try to be at a different elevation to the sniper, if you do so; the sniper has to move his mouse in the X-axis and the Y-axis in order to get a headshot ( read; twice as difficult ). Also, if you are falling from the battlements; keep bobbing your head and drop from the corner. btw; I love nerfnow (hot babes ;D)

protect the player's stats (sv_cheats will be enabled every time a player respawns)

you guys

i changed my sensitivity from 7 to 3

NOW I CAN SNIPE EFFICIENTLY, or like 80% better than before, or dunno maybe MC need to test me

DAMN WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THIS

Now all you need to do is to learn how to shoot at moving targets and avoid getting sniped at. BTW, my sensitivity is at 3 with a 800 DPI on my mouse and <30 in my Mouse sensitivity options. It helps gets your shots right

My DPI is 400 and my sensitivity is 3.1
That's super low, but I snipe with it.

1000dpi at 6.0 sensitivity! My hand is too lazy to move.

hmm

how do you line up that quick scope shots?

just cant seem to get it right

Keep your x-hair at head-level
Never use your mouse to aim, only to fine tune your shots
Anticipate your enemy's movements

Notice how good snipers never seem to turn to aim?

Depends on what you mean by 'good' MC! There are good headshotters, and good bodyshotters...
