How to be a good sniper

[FreeFall]

FreeFaller here, this is just my idea of a good sniper.
1. Doesn't spawn camp( some other camping might save your life,but this is just disgraceful)
2.Moves with the "front line" (non example: staying back at spawn while everyone is fighting in the middle of the map)
3.Shooting from higher ground( This makes it easier to get headshots and makes it harder for SMGs to hit you)
4.Supporting/Suppressing fire ( when your team mates are in combat with the enemy, help them by picking off enemies that are laying down heavy fire)
5.Eliminate other snipers(An enemy sniper most likely know all your tricks and can easily wipe out a front line if well hidden, take them out if your not spotted)
6.Don't use aimbot(i can't stress this one enough, it just dishonors your team and the rifle itself, so don't be a loser and get aimbot just because you suck at it)
7.Don't always be a sniper( its good to be attuned to all weapons, so if a round seems to easy, switch to SMg and shotty just to try it out.

8) Always be ready to kill a smger or shot gunner at close range.

9) Find/Make yourself a gun that looks good to your eye, and find the best iron sights possible to your likings.

10) Take your time to line your shots up. It is better to not shoot at all than to shoot, miss, and alert enemies to your position.

BTW, IDK what the problem with spawncamping is. I don't do it much, but if you can't beat a spawn camper, then you can't be great. Spawncampers are on the back foot all the time, and its not too hard to just use deathcam to find them. Some call it spawncamping, others, tactical wating. It isn't the most honourable way to go, but it is effective.

Don't run into enemy, don't bring yourself into danger, stay in the back. Be sneaky.

Be certain to never hit the enemy despite unloading magazine after magazine into the fog.

Accuse the enemy of hacking when one kills you.

Votekick the enemy when they keep killing you every time you go back to the same spot and resume firing into the fog.

And dont forget the most important! Yell at your enemies, telling your brother will hack their computers.

Don't snipe at the same location for too long, change locations or you won't last long.

Okay... I think I'm gonna be the first one to actually respond to OP.

1: There can be a lot of debate regarding whether or not this is a "disgraceful" tactic or not. So perhaps have it as optional or something.
2: I agree.
3: Its pretty obvious. I mean, you're not gonna see much enemies while sitting in a hole in the ground somewhere.
4: I wish more people did this. It's a good example of teamwork.
5: Same as 4.
6: I agree completely.
7: This could be debated. I mean, it wont make you a better sniper, more like it will increase your skills with SMG and shotty.

10) Take your time to line your shots up. It is better to not shoot at all than to shoot, miss, and alert enemies to your position.

I also agree a lot with this.

Learn the spade tricks, Spade beats gun, spade streaks are awesome. if someone is behind a wall and you are right next to the wall get out the spade and hit the wall.

The most important things, in my opinion, are cover and speed. Without cover, you're a sitting duck, just waiting for some Deuce to notice you and blow your giant square head off. Don't make too much cover, because you need to have a lot of viewing angles. You need to be quicker than your opponent, so the quicker, the better. If your opponent is faster than you, they're going to kill you unless they make a mistake.

I prefer to use the "Baby buffalo" in my stories as such, but your spot on.

Easy aim for the huge head while you run and you cant miss.

Crouch and jump spam while shooting at the same time If you are spotted by an enemy.
If you are seen by an smg user try to get behind cover and then do the crouch spam and kill the enemy ASAP
