The sniping mechanics have always been an integral part of the Call Of Duty franchise and it’s no different for COD Mobile. Being a good sniper can win you many games and also make for some really cool montages(all of us have seen those). But there are some things you need to keep in mind to become a good sniper. Be it positioning, selecting the best sniper, or quick scoping, a good sniper needs to practice in order to reach their true potential. In this article, we’ll tell you how to become a good sniper and the various nifty tricks to enhance your COD Mobile sniping skills.
Selecting a sniper - There are a total of six sniper rifles available in COD Mobile and each one of them has its own pros and cons but most people swear by the DL-Q33 or the Arctic.50. A complete list is given below:-
Positioning - In order to be a really good sniper and actually win games and gain an advantage in gunfights, you need to position yourself correctly and this comes by learning the map and getting to higher ground to have a clear shot on your enemies. Now contrary to what you might hear, going prone and sniping is not really a good idea because the mobility trade-off is not worth it. Do it only when you’re sure there’s no one around. Narrow alleys are your best friends because it’s easier to quick scope enemies in them.
Settings - Your game settings are also key in order to have a better time sniping and a good overall experience. Try to keep your graphics settings balanced so that you don’t have to deal with low FPS. Your sensitivity also matters, a lower sensitivity is preferred because it provides better precision but if that doesn’t suit you, you should go for whatever floats your boat.
Set up your loadout - It’s imperative that you have a good loadout to go with your sniper as all of your engagements are not going to be long-range. Try to keep trophy systems or trip mines so that you’re protected from people who may try to push you. Don’t lag too far behind your teammates as things may get messy if someone gets the jump on you or them. Select the right attachments for your sniper and spend time trying different ones to see which ones suit your play style the best.
Shooting - There are some snipers that are one-hit kills if you shoot people in the upper chest or the head. Try to almost always aim for the head if enemies are stationary and unaware of your presence. If they are moving go for the chest as it provides a larger surface area for your shots to land.
