Guide for snipers in rdr2 online - 5 tips on how to snipe

Thanks for the encouragement to become a better sniper, this is the first game I've even tried out sniper rifles and I'm getting better. I played many of the Black Ops and Call of Duty games and never seriously tried sniper rifles because I sucked at first and gave up. Practice really does make perfect, even if it's a slow journey.

The rolling block is definitely not superior. It’s not bad but it shoots about once a week so better not miss

[@jaqet4114]

Power Level Bomber I agree even tho u can argue for either one, the rolling block is more satisfying for me

[@Hassanalalwani]

carcano is way better i have them both i never touched rolling block after i bought the carcano , 1 thing u need to know high level players + tryhard will have cards that lower the damage + level 2 + 3 tonic so most of time u need 2 or 4 shots < it will be almost the same on the 2 snipers , that if he didn’t drink a tonic mid shoting at him , rolling block has very slow reload , he can drink a tonic while u reloading if u wasn’t that fast to hit the second shot , rolling block only good for no experience players cuz they will be one shot most of the time , which carcano can do it sometimes , and most of the time they will be bad so its not that hard to hit the other shot.

[@dunkindoughnut167]

[@lanier7485]

Got another practice area for sniper. The legendary bounty "red ben clempson". Initially if you follow the train at distance, can sniper shot all enemies on open carriages. Also when onboard the train, it helps train when enemy uses cover, your spatial awareness (moving while in scope) and mid close range scope shots while the train is moving.

[@PVPCat]

Yeah, this one is also good - was pcarticing on it a lot when game just came out on PC

[@brendanmccarthy8885]

OnlyPVPCat hey Cat, is it a good idea to buy both scopes for sniper rifles? I’m not even sure if it’s even possible as I haven’t even bought a sniper rifle yet. I’m level 200 something and I’m embarrassed to have never bought a sniper rifle yet. I just don’t know if I can adjust the scope in case enemies are medium distance instead of far. Thank you!

[@lanier7485]

@@brendanmccarthy8885 can't swap scopes on the field, you need to go to gunsmiths to do that. Once you but a scope part though, it free to be swaped about at any gunsmith. Regarding the enemy closing in, that's why players have a weapon for closer distances like repeaters/basic rifle/bows etc.

[@hans7046]

Omg thanks gonna practice my snipng on my horse

[@thousand_cuts]

Another good tip is don't wear a bright white outfit. Can't get counter sniped if they can't see you.

[@tarterustillhavingnodreams8351]

For mouse and keyboard, the dpi really depends on your preference and age, typically the older you are the lower dpi you should have. I always go for a really high in-game mouse sensitivity but a extremely low dpi on my mouse settings, this way the delay between my hand movements and the cursor displacements are minimized while maintaining a reasonable stability in terms of speed. In other words, I want the cursor on my screen starts move exactly when my hand holding the mouse start to move, but not move so much faster than my hand moves in reality, just think of it as if you are holding a remote marker and is trying to paint on your pc’s screen.

This advice transformed me into an elite sniper in this game. Thank you Cat.

[@KnifeShuriken]

You can move faster while strafing in third person by holding shift while you're scoped. On PC it isn't as much of a disadvantage, but holding a button on a controller prevents you from aiming with the right stick. As far as I can tell the max movement speed is the same though. First person just defaults to the fastest move speed while scoped and third person you have to hold a button. There's still an advantage for first person which is that changing directions happens instantly. In third person there's a slight delay and your crosshair dips down slightly.

Watching this after having a shoot out session. I would climb to the tops of buildings and snipe players from afar. In my session tonight I was in the lead, only to draw with another player. It was the deciding finisher, and saw where he was on the map, 20 seconds till finishing time….I quietly went behind a house, poked my head round the corner and *bang* he won! It was one second to go as well! 😂 fair play to him though.

[@intervention8816]

[@SKULLPOOPL_YT]

Thanks for this. I have already been trying out the carcano and slippery builds from your other videos, and have had fun crushing level 7s in PvP. Also griefers in PvE but I am only a novice when it comes to sniping. I still use PIB sometimes depending on the showdown game mode...Have you noticed any change to the ability? It seems broken to me. It does not mark the targets as quickly as it used to, and I have to get very close to the enemy player. I play on Xbox. Maybe it is just lag 🤷‍♂️

[@PVPCat]

Seems like a lag, working fine for me

[@rosaria715]

I always play as zoomed out as much as possible, and i never understood when u switch to your scope the point you focus on before with the white dot... that is never the focus if u switch to scope it is always off the Focus point. Nice to know that this is basicly non existend if im first person beforehand

[@Puppy_Puppington]

Sidenote: u can just tap “a” or “x” whilst aiming down sight to move or strafe fast…. No need to switch and commit to first person beforehand……

[@iggormatos1778]

short or long scope ?

[@IamGrim_Shady]

Love the content as usual, I find my biggest problem with sniping to be strafing. Just seem to be bad at it🤣✌

[@Assassin42481]

Mostly comes down to pattern. Always try to change your movement. For example, say you are going 3 to 4 seconds left to right, perhaps trying after that to go left for about 2 seconds, then go right then left etc. The less predictable your movements, the less chance you'll get shot.

[@reddeadbutterfly]

Very good guide! 👌😊

Cant get a answer for this u might know. When strafing in game while sniping I press X to move fast and once again to slow down movment. But some times when I press the x to speed up it stays slow. I use 3rd person. I dont like 1st person. Does this happen to u. Is it possible to adjust settings maybe. That when I go in to scope I can have auto fast movement. Instead of having to press X once of fast moving and X again for slow movement. Do u know is this possible in 3rd person. In settings?
