Sniper/Marksman Guide - Rising Storm 2 Vietnam!

[@rida2201]

There's a hidden mechanic in the m40 bolt action sniper. You can zoom in the scope without changing the range by pressing + and - on the numpad.

I would love to play the marksman class but, that level 3 always gets it at the start of the game and ends up getting 2 kills

[@dofyx1847]

Thats whe you take one for the team and get that 15 sec tk penalty, and tk that level 3 once or twice for it, or simply stick around. FNG'S getting themselves killed

[@dofyx1847]

@YuriVII is that true? I've only TK'd someone on purpose like maybe 10 times, because they were killing the fresh spawned wave of people. It makes sense that it doesn't or it would be total chaos, people for machine guns and snipers. Thanks for telling me

awesome, nobody i'd rather have cover it! marksman is so hard for some people, glad you covered it! can't watch now... but will surely be later!

[@Awootistic]

Here's a tip for the bolt action guns. The reload system in this game is just amazing. Say you have 2 rounds left, you want to reload back to the full 5. If you hit the reload key, what's gonna happen is that the round that's in the chamber is going to be ejected because you pulled the bolt out. So now you actually have to load in 4 individual bullets instead of just 3. Now if you use the 'manual bolt' action, after finishing firing, you can choose to cycle the bolt later. If you chose to reload after firing that round and NOT cycle, the empty bullet will get ejected and you will just fill in the 3 (continuing from the first scenario). This is more impactful for the bolt sniper rifles as you have to individually load 5 rounds since the scope gets in the way for a stripper clip use. Also if you forgot if you have cycled before or not and don't want to risk firing and giving away your position, hold the reload key (the check magazine routine). If the bolt is cycled, then the character would just check the mag. If it hasn't, the character would cycle it for you.

[@groth246]

The best video so far Hex ! I love the sniper class in any game. But the level of detail for both noobs and experts is perfectly balanced I think :) keep it up ! Greetings

[@josefedling2076]

i am happy to say that i use this video all the time when i play sniper and that thanks to it i have achieved 60 kills in one game (hill of course). There's something really rewarding about being patient and thinking of the best tactics during a game, the utmost rewarding thing is being killed by an enemy sniper to then later relocate, find him thanks to thinking logically on where he would most likely be and then blow his fucking head out.

[@ev3rything533]

what sucks is some maps don't let you move around any flank because the map is too linear, and what really sucks is when you have a good position, but the game says you are too far behind enemy lines even when you have perfect shots on the enemys back.

[@TheMatek144]

KZbin recommended finally did a good job. Love Your videos!

[@matthewboschin6313]

I don't even play this game and I watched the whole thing. lol

[@bruhhhhmoment4848]

I saw the second sniper before you pointed it out only because I could see his gun

[@fishfingers4548]

One useless bit of info is if your barrel scuffs the ground whilst prone you can sometimes get your barrel to rise by crawling forward whilst aiming.

[@RagingAura]

All these sniper positions don't require a scoped rifle. You can achieve the same results, or better depending on your proficiency with iron sights, with just about every rifle in the game. This makes sense as engagement ranges in this game are generally under 150m, well within the effective range of every assault and battle rifle in the game. I personally find the scope a hindrance, limiting target acquisition and field of view. You may want to consider renaming this guide to how to be a good rifleman!

[@matthias3646]

You're guides are very helpful. I appreciate the work you put into them.

[@CaracalServal]

You can also range find on some servers by pointing out enemies. The distance will show under the red x marker.

before picking sniper, you can practice at the Mosin/garand/M14 on the normal fighters.

[@d2vid5]

I'm a pretty new player but I have fast Internet so I'm usually able to get the sniper. I think it's the most exciting role for me. However, if I see that after several minutes I'm not getting many kills and getting killed a lot, I try to be fair and switch to grunt to let others have a shot.

20:40 Im pretty sure that in this game, the guns arent actually at your hip. in real life guns are usually shouldered almost all times, and in games like call of duty, him firing isnt realistic, since the bullets simply appear in your crosshair, unlike realistic games like tarkov where guns are always shouldered and firing without aiming can be life saving

[@minmean3016]

As a long time sniper enjoyer, i’d like to share sone thoughts: 1. I always choose to be SL no matter north or south. Most important reason the advantage position you normally be in and calm environment that allows you to take time and predict enemy positions/movements. 2. Don’t climb towers/highest place. It is the first place people will be searching for you and always targeted by rpg/gls. Instead the perfect spot has:(a).shadow/bush(b).overview on enemy/obj flank(c).enemy has to run through an open field to get to your position. 3. It is your highest priority and duty to take out enemy sniper. However the one who die first is normally the one shoots more. Slow down your fire rate even you missed, this will greatly improve your accuracy and concealment. Of course you can forget about that one if you are using svd cause that gun is too damn loud and distinctive.

[@samhansen9771]

2 is unless it's the lighthouse on resort during the beach landing. Raining down fire from an iron sight mosin is great fun and a great way to learn bullet travel and drop.

[@MathiasCzR01]

Good tips! Though I personally don't choose SL role as a sniper, you may be able to spawn people, however most of the time they will give your own position away. Unless you play as VC with tunnel mechanic.

[@drshinobi3979]

Well done on the video. Also a good tip on long range sniping is to use spotting button as rangefinder or looking on the objectives and make an assessment when you dont want to make to much noise. Also remember shadows, small gaps in houses/obstacles and bushes are your friend as are your control of not moving to much while engaging and learning to shoot without clear sight since you dont want your weapon to stick out to much from whatever you're shooting from. If you get engaged move to another spot because that person gonna constantly look towards that now and then, However dont rush it if its not necessary. If you must shoot from towers to help the team do it on a shadowy position in the back as much as possible or lay down and try to find a small gap having much cover. Same for windows. Find small gaps or cover from the sides shooting in angles
