► BECOME A BETTER SNIPER! - Battlefield 1 Sniping Tips Guide

[@juliusjsudf2797]

I really like that you hav Not a "perfect" sniping gameplay in the Background. seeing you miss your target or the enemy running away is exactly what Most People Come across. keep up the good work!

[@Westie]

+Julius jsudf Thanks Julius! I'm not an amazing player, so showing my actual gameplay makes sense :)

[@punishedvenomsnake716]

Westie Don't sell yourself short! You're awesome

[@bobinbox1239]

Westie I'm much worse than you

[@landism27]

Julius jsudf

[@watdaduckfuk]

personally i didn't find your tips too useful for my playstyle i like the proper snipers and to lay prone and the zeroing function is way more useful than staying on 100 meter and just winging the shot tho you did have a few good points that i use myself like not being scoped in too much and to move alot. tho for other people what might read this and are more like me and use the proper sniper versions i do atvice try to be as small of a target as possable if your behind the top of a hill of trench crawl up just enough to see your target and shoot and move after one or max two shots. P.S. i'm a console player so might be that this applies more to my and or the console playstyle.

[@nemoku1071]

I love it when I get a kill with a spot flare. It's more satisfying than getting an actual headshot...

[@Wolfoe-ex2jj]

Captain Nemo I'm shooting for the spot flare service star then the gasmask service star

[@johnnyzakka]

land a rifle shot, then finish off with a flare.. love it! xD

[@imnottyler]

Captain Nemo it's even more satisfying when you get a kolibri kill

[@louden-8428]

Captain Nemo I have 47 flare kills..

[@bleepblopbleepblorp9984]

furr sure I've had a couple rapid double flare kills befoe it's pretty metal

[@BFViking]

We don't need better snipers. We need better medics

[@johnjijon3423]

Agree :)

[@matthewwest8569]

BFViking indeed we do. The amount of medics that run by me while I'm in cover is too high

[@droidbot6284]

I agree that people need to wait to respawn.

[@fugazi6608]

Hit-marka I wish I had you in my squad lol

[@matthewwest8569]

Hit-marka Of course I wasn't referring to all medics. There are those like you who do their job well.

[@megu2272]

all of the call of duty kids who are moving to battlefield are probably watching this thinking: But Westie, how do I quickscope?

[@finps9786]

Hector.H "Wait how do i trickshot? What's the button for exo-jumping? YOU CANT TRICKSHOT? *WOW SO SHIT* "

[@lookstothemoon6068]

Hector.H how do I 360 no scope the noobs tho?

[@megu2272]

+EasyStart you get the russian 1895 trench (best hipfire) and turn on the mlg music

[@olivermcmillan6637]

Me too...

[@AkumaDante12]

Hector.H To me, a battlefield game where you can quick scope is NOT a battlefield game.

[@00lorted]

forgot to say that when scouts use the metal plate cover in there gadgets use the k bullets to kill them through it

[@soulcrusher807]

It is also easy to shoot them through the hole they look out of as a scout.

[@brajuhani]

It also goes thru Special dudes Armour.

[@Zman44444]

I never thought of using K bullets against their defense... it’s been how long since the game came out? The more you know...

[@kurtis9003]

Scout class will never be the same... RIP MARTINI :(

[@olivermcmillan6637]

Honestly, Dice should stop and think, ''I wonder what would happen if I got shot by an Elephant Gun in the arm or the leg."

[@johnmcenroe1760]

Got killed today by someone with 32 service stars(+3200kills) with the m1903 Springfield. Like wtf? And I thought that I didn't have a life..

[@ADISTOD3MUS]

Christofer Bajen I have 24 stars with gewehr95 infantry, and 18 stars with MHenry,and I have a job (carpenter),that mean that I have a life.Every gameplay I play the k/d ratio it's like 25 kills minimum,so yeah,not all the snipers are in the back of the map finishing the gameplay with 8/10 kills.

[@johnmcenroe1760]

adrian 2quik I know not all scouts are in the back of the map. im one of them. I have 12 with the martini and 15 with the m95 carbine. i dont care so much about my k/d, its not cod you know. ;) jk i have a job as well..doesnt mean i have a life lol

[@SimanSlivar]

it was probably me (^_^) but its a hell of a rifle. I do have a life however.... I hate being an adult...

[@johnmcenroe1760]

Robert Hollar lol nice. :)

[@fugazi6608]

Robert Hollar wait so you just met someone who you killed in bf1? Lol

[@punishedvenomsnake716]

I've really been enjoying the Russian 1895 Infantry. So much fun

[@conormackay3162]

AJ Rice finally someone agrees with me, all of my mates hate it

[@conormackay3162]

AJ Rice and in general people underestimate infantry rifles

[@zaittsev]

AJ Rice I love it too, especially on Ballroom Blitz.

[@thegreatrobin2329]

AJ Rice Yeah great rifle, but I'm becoming more of a Gewher 95 kind of scout player

[@finps9786]

AJ Rice Gewher infantry and Springfield with a scope

[@MasterTimbo]

Fantastic video! This is exactly how I see the scout. Moving around, spotting enemies, stay close to your team/platoon, short to middle range sniping... and so on. I hate players who lay on the ground in one spot to get a kill in a while. These guys will never understand this brilliant game. So many thanks for this fantastic video!

[@jensenblaze25]

After advancing into betterment, I highly recommend going into the infantry variants of scout weapons... You can set magnification to 2x, versus the Marksman variant having 4x, which really has no noticeable advantage-plus, instead of sitting back like Chris Kyle, you can play the objective if your game mode includes capturing or pushing enemy lines. I never resort to any scope use accept for when all I want to do is counter-snipe from many hundreds of meters away. Scoped-weapons make close-quarter-combat quite difficult for abundantly clear reasons. Infantry variants are for the aggressive, skillful, close to long-range combatants who end up with many tens of thousands of points.

[@hercules_0882]

Another gr8 tip not only to bolt-action rifles but also to some self-loading rigles and even pistols is reloading only when you have let's say on the Mark III 5 bullets, your reload animation will be much faster than reloading at 4 bullets. Because reloading a clip of 5 bullets instead of putting every single round one by one is quicker.

[@kph4081]

i love your vids they make bf1 look so easy I'm having fun getting use to this game its different from cod but a good different

[@olivermcmillan6637]

Yes. It's so much different from COD. For example, it's much harder to single man rambo a match and it's super important to stick with your squad.

[@okay4492]

Its not much harder tbh been doing it a lot lately trying to get most of the Weapon dog tags

[@Lireael]

"most bolt action rifles have extremely fast bullet velocity" and I am sitting here playing with Martini... ah well

[@littleboyrye5864]

Quick tips()()>> The drifference between using a sniper and marksman variant A sniper variant comes with an bipod and higher magnification scope while the marksman comes with a palm rest and telescopic sight but however like wedgie said sniper variants give off that big white scope glimp while marksman variants do not. If you like that sniper version or it's the only one in its class such as the Russian 1895 which has no marksman try using the sniper shield to cover yourself and use the trench periscope this is the same as a 10x magnification scope but without a glimp so consider that. Or use the head on a stick this gives out a fake scope glimp and while you sit there and watch them snip the decoy they become marked and you can take them out. In closer to medium use the Flash flare gun to blind all of those enemies who see the scope glimp and take them out while they are blinded. :) leave a reply for more tips and other stuff on taking out tanks

[@littleboyrye5864]

Oops I meant westie. Dumb autocorrect

[@kjenk19]

Green Gaming TV *glint 😉

[@OceansBane]

The infantry variants make sniping more fun and worth while.

[@mmorales508]

Damn a video at 1440p 60fps?!?! Now that's the sweet spot 💪

[@rolbloxguy]

Westin u should do a tips and tricks for battlefield 1

[@levidoyle3411]

Tips were both effective and appreciated, while I'm skeptical on the k-bullets, seeing you actually use them in the way you described makes me really eager (and less apprehensive) about trying them out more often.

[@RagingReji]

bit off topic but I actually love the Autoloading 35. something about the fast fire rate and lack of rounds just makes me perform carefully and fast

[@Jordan-xi1kd]

I appreciate the real gameplay and not a bunch of over edited gameplay. Keep it up!

[@cardiffmad]

The periscope I find is a very handy gadget, to able to spot enemy players from behind cover. Having a enemy sniper red outlined can give you a significant advantage

[@gavin3488]

Fun fact, RussianBadger ate some of my k bullets. He did not like them...

[@ginagaytan7242]

Nice

[@landomando1034]

Please make a top 5 plays series. Including top 5 glitches, top five plays, etc...

[@Rezistful]

Great upload Westie, good tips for everyone to use I love the SMLE III as well such an awesome sniper.

[@PrestigeNoob]

Incoming 300K!👊 Gr8 vid! Been a fan since 50k!! Keep it up!

[@MattHDGamer]

Great videos man :)

[@nafin9063]

MattHDGamer go back to FIFA.

[@merginator]

My favorite way to play battlefield! I love sniping.

[@julian2626]

Merginator I prefer playing assault but that's just personal.

[@Wolfoe-ex2jj]

8:20 I want the veteran infantry skin for my knife!

[@LJT9393]

I keep my bullet drop adjustment at 150m and man I'm telling you it works amazing with iron sight that's what I like using. I pick dudes with scopes with headshots that are more then 150m away by aiming directly at their head and a lot of times they miss their first shot trying to work out how much to shoot above my head, then I just steady the sights and shoot. Usually get headshots. Even in close ranges you can still aim for their head and it will hit right where you shoot.

[@tommex8544]

I have to say I'm really enjoying your style of commentating and making videos. Really good work dude. Greets from Germany.

[@yoboyluis3926]

tom mex you guys lost the war

[@tommex8544]

Dank Bleach I don't care about this. I'm not very patriotic

[@tdd2427]

Lost both.

[@godforgives6164]

Old skool sniping has to be the best. nice tutorial westie.

[@evanses6721]

Fantastic video Westie! Happy new year!

[@Caparco71]

Mars auto is like shooting a cinderblock in your hand and watching it snuff a guy out in an instant It's crazy that it looks like an artillery piece exploding too when hip firing, hip fire kills are the most satisfying ever in this game for me I'm an enthusiast on the gun haha

[@MrAwesomesauce555]

Steps to be a better sniper: Step 1: Play on PC.

[@olivermcmillan6637]

But console has more aim assist. Also, if you practice and hone your skills you can be better on console than most people on pc. Look at OneCheesyMofo for an example. He's probably better at aiming than a majority of pc players, and he plays on PS4.

[@041mikey]

His skill ceiling caps alot sooner than someone on pc, it will always be a limitation to play on a controller

[@Willzinator]

DICE need to bring back the vapour trail from BF4. Both myself and a friend are having difficulty seeing the bullet drop at distance.

[@dourdaur]

Since I am a console player, I use the M1903 Experimental. When it comes to close quarters, I use it's pistol ammunition to take down enemies. When there's an enemy in the distance, I'll shoot him down, usually not succeeding on killing him. I might start using the Martini Henri Infantry once I get it.

[@namenotavailable_1275]

Thanks a lot. Scout and medic are my worse classes so far but now I'm getting better with scout. I wish I could put my Lawrence of Arabia's SMLE skin on the marksman or carbine variant though

[@ben7ani]

I never really though of a K bullet as an annoying tactic... I always thought it sucked at taking out vehicles! Now it all makes sense.... finish off a tank that's in critical... thank you man! Its more viable for me now lol

[@bbcnuclearattackthisisnota4038]

Thank you Westie I think those tips will help me a lot on the battlefield Keep up the good work

[@willstanco1708]

I just subscribed to your channel. I love how you make informational videos instead of just montages

[@F1god04]

I like using the periscope. Allows me to gauge range better and sight the rifle correctly.

[@kraasiv]

the thing I like about this guy/guide, is that he shows clips, in which he looks like a normal sniper. whenever I see a sniper guide, i see them run arround an headshotting everyone ect. But thank you for the guide, I knew most of the things but not the 4.00× Magnifier thing :)

[@leetimmons4738]

I have had so many games lately where the enemy team had about 15 snipers killing me and my team multiple times so many so that I've made a dedicated counter sniper class using the good old springfield I've killed 3 snipers in under a minutes it's the most gratifying feeling getting revenge on the snipers.

[@bmw-jk2ks]

Thanks for the tips Westie!

[@ceasarassad5706]

How to be a good sniper in battle field 1: Have a PC

[@yoboyluis3926]

Neelay Talwalkar personal preference

[@Ash_Vulpine]

Alex G Ummmm, no. BF1 has the strongest aim assist I've ever seen.

[@yoboyluis3926]

***** yeah maybe

[@041mikey]

No eisnstein didnt prove it but its kind of obvious that its more accurate

[@lukethomas1740]

Actually, that would only be true if you had a mouse against controller players. Sniping is easy on console because everyone else is using a controller too.

[@PeakedPanda]

Personally if I'm using a long range scope, I switch to my secondary pistol and use that to scope in. While it's not 8x or 10x mag... it makes it easier to see and look for targets far away rather than use the scope, when you find the target, switch to sniper and take them out.

[@bosnianshotsgaming2742]

Thanks for the video! Definitely going to use these tips to make better gameplay!

[@SimanSlivar]

Need to also mention the common aim and zooms in the advanced menu for sensitivity. Also use all your mouse pad turn down that sensitivity for better accuracy. I also like to run the the ^ scope it seams to use less of the scope for cross hair.

[@giannipesce517]

Thank you for this tutorial Westie. It really helped.

[@R1chardH]

ive not played sniper since bf3 its going to be a painful return, when i have tried im obviousaly aiming too high, good vid

[@tawon1984]

What tips do you have for me? I only play team death match and I prefer iron sights on my sniper rifle.

[@brynecreekmore3570]

Great info.... thanks. I’m new to this game and this is a great aid.

[@reborn_assult4605]

Westie, ur vids are great keep up the work dude. love it

[@cartascastle1980]

does someone else misses sniping in bf4, for me it was more satisfying. happy new year

[@nathanrwin]

my favorite is the m95. why didnt you mention it westie?

[@dreivalium8517]

Nathan Wingard It's my favourite as well. I think it's very underrated because it doesn't have a sweet spot, but the quick reload, high RPM and the ability to stay scoped make it so deadly

[@nathanrwin]

\ DreiValium / i think the fact that it doesnt have a sweet spot is why its so awesome. it makes you aim for the head and i think it really improves your skill level. i dont like the sweet spot mechanic, i think it is cheap and makes sniping too easy

[@eh6578]

\ DreiValium / Well the thing is the SMLE is usable at all ranges, has a decent ROF, a sweet spot that is within most engagement ranges, and the large 10 round capacity. It warrants a more aggressive play style.

[@nathanrwin]

Ayypecs but it has a slower rpm than the m95

[@SniperkingGaming-us6rv]

Ayypecs actually M95 is the rifle for aggressive sniping, its Fire rate is too quick to ignore

[@MacPiff]

Great tips and vid as always Westie

[@itscoolpapapump3812]

Pretty much summed up my style of scout play. Another thing that messes with muscle memory is nerf & buff. Hope Dice doesn't get to crazy with it like activision 🙄

[@Sputlo]

Thanks Westie :D I really need to get better at this aha. Ill be sure to try these tips.

[@JRM-]

I also think that the periscope can be very useful on most situations

[@-dcoogan-]

*I've been playing BF1, and the introduction of "elite" classes made me question/consider the following... Should future Battlefield titles incorporate weapon/gear weight? -Should opting for one gadget or no gadgets, instead of the default two, give the player a faster movement speed and the ability to scale objects? -Should over-equipping be an option, at the cost of no sprinting or even running, plus no scaling objects?*

[@kieranproskills]

great tips Westie thank you

[@Gashbasher]

Cheers westie, I'm a xmas noob so a big help cheers

[@musicandcoffee2853]

I like to use iron sights more only because I play the scout class pretty aggressive so I can PTFO. I find that the Fromer Stop get me out of most jams.

[@thedangler8273]

I always use a trench periscope and a tripwire il use a spot and k rounds depending on the situation but for the higher magnification it's always better to use a trench periscope due to no glare plus u can spot for another sniper or just teammates

[@funkygibbons]

The periscope is so underrated, you can spot multiple enemies at one time safely, know their exact distance, drop a smoke bomb and still see their outline making it easier to kill without being killed...my top tip would be don't over think your shot!

[@kevinserrato4827]

funkygibbons nice tip I'm going to try this

[@yoboyluis3926]

funkygibbons I like using it

[@fredrikcarlgren4538]

westie im your biggest fan of all time

[@szycybulski717]

This is what I need I really want to be a good sniper!

[@marshallsmith259]

Always on the move while aiming but stop right before you are about to shoot and when suppressed find cover and don't shoot if you cant find cover then dont aim directly at the target because of random bullet deviation

[@EpicDonutDudeMemes]

I'm curious what stats other snipers have in this game, anyone else good at sniping / use the scout class a lot? My stats: Best weapon: SMLE Marksman (1273 kills) Total kills: 1923 Deaths: 347 Headshots: 491 K/D: 5.54 Score per minute: 853.61 they should also introduce the amount of spots you have in this game into your stats, I really want to know how many people I spotted :>

[@lavarbaii881]

EpicDonutDude how u find out these stats

[@lavarbaii881]

EpicDonutDude how many hours do u have in this game

[@Tom-2142]

So long as you bring that Lee enfield and the sniper holding it to the objective I couldn't care less what your kd or whatever is.

[@EpicDonutDudeMemes]

I played this game for 26h, but I'm curious what other people use when they use the sniper a lot. I also notice that a lot of people just sit somewhere and wait, and thats something I cant really do. I just run around like a rat and shoot some heads when people run in the open

[@unknownfoopa]

look at an objective to see it's distance if it is between you and your target so you can get a more accurate estimate of their distance

[@Viper-lv8if]

I have the Trench Periscope, it is incredibly underatted

[@TheValleyboy]

Westie why did you not mention the importance of spotting enemies, vehicles, mines etc while playing as a scout? A HUGE amount of BF players still neglect to spot and help out the whole team.

[@a17zazueta21]

so I just redownloaded Battlefield one because I had the urge to play it. The first game I joined into, i ran 10 ft forward got sniped I then proceeded to equip smoke grenades and spawn on an objective. immediately i was suppressed by a sniper, I threw my smoke grenades towards the sniper then got shot by another sniper to the other side of me. I respawned yet again on the far side of the map trying to flank towards an uncontested objective halfway there I was sniped by someone all the way at the end of the map by the enemy Spawn sitting on a hill behind a bush. I respawned on one of my squad mates that was about to enter a fight, the gunfight was pretty crazy it was probably three of us and three of them and then more of our teammates ran to help and the same with their side and once there was only about 4 of us left and 1 of them, two snipers on the other side of the map killed all of my teammates that were there including me. I then proceeded to exit the game and delete Battlefield 1 for the same reason I deleted it in the first place

[@raptonsoul2557]

Westie what about that follow up to the weapon idea video

[@shallot7510]

hey wesite, love the content. Are you considering doing a revisiting of insurgency or even DOI? I loved those sniper videos you made (considering that I was in one of them :P)

[@ginagaytan7242]

You can use the periscope to detect distance

[@felixraumauf5304]

The 2 most important things: 1) always strafe!! 2) get used to the weapon youre using! i wouldnt recommend picking different weapons, just because of the sweetspot mechanic.... rather try sticking to one weapon, which fits your gameplay (like if you camp far far behind the 1903 would be good) and then get used to it

[@lordtachanka3569]

I just use the K-bullets on infantry and I do good which means M1907 Springfield infantry is in the multiplayer just with tiny anti vehicle use

[@Raum89]

Top tip for snipers in BF1.. Swap classes and PTFO if needed.

[@shermantankgaming7261]

I hope Dice adds another free map I. January or February or people are going to keep complaining. That's all I want

[@shermantankgaming7261]

Snafu I know map design takes a but why so long. Is it so EA can make more money or something cause they could Release it by now

[@thirdofherne9232]

Best tip I can think of is from real World sniping: Don't silhouette yourself. Don't stand/crouch/lay anywhere where the light sky is behind you (top of the walls on Fao Fortress, top of ridges or rocks etc.) you stand out a mile. Also, if you're shooting through a window stand back away from the window so your gun doesnt stick out and announce your presence.

[@AngelFlores-ud4wt]

you didn't mention the Gehwer M.95. it's my go to because of the straight pull bolt and how fast it fires
