The Truth to Sniping in Tarkov...

Solo Sniping in Tarkov is painfully hard. But why? It sounds simple so today I decided to snipe on various different maps such as Woods, Shoreline, Interchange, and Lighthouse to see if It's really that hard.

Escape from Tarkov is a realistic shooter game where you go in with loot from your storage (also known as your stash) into a variety of maps such as Interchange, Customs, Reserve, Shoreline, Streets of Tarkov, Labs, Lighthouse, and Woods to loot items, fight other players and Fight Scavs. If you die, you lose all of the loot you had on you but if you manage to extract, you keep everything you got from that raid.

one of the best tarkov youtubers keep it up

[@CoolestJonas]

thank you

[@lootbot]

just a quick tip: if you hold click after shooting your scope wont go all around because your character isnt racking the bolt back. your character only racks back the bolt when you let go of mouse click

[@CoolestJonas]

I know it's just muscle memory for me from games like rust

[@SotEnjoyer113]

@@CoolestJonas ? in rust you have to un-ads and rack it wym (with bolty,etc..)

[@SuperMickyChow]

DVL has always been my favourite sniper - maybe because it looks like some kids toy, but I also love the sound of the suppressed shot.

[@renatoprebeg1438]

At the beginning I was like: "What is this guy doing with sniper without a scope???"😂😂😂

[@CoolestJonas]

Yeah I always pouch scopes, they cost more than the gun lmao

[@renatoprebeg1438]

@@CoolestJonas agreed. Altough sometimes it is hard to react if you see someone going around the edge or something and you don't have your scope on

[@igorborracini5722]

Since you're not full auto spraying, u don't need to use the expensive vudu's or razors and one of the worse scopes with the same zoom like the valday should work the same for sniping

[@CoolestJonas]

fair enough

[@JerrickMorevah]

love the valday

[@Jibbzz]

If m80 wasn't at PK4 I think it wouldn't be. Bc until then you either choose the SVD, Mosin, SV-98, or Gorno w/AP.

[@CoolestJonas]

PK4 for m80 is insane

2nd raid was 100% a hacker.

[@eeeeeeee543]

Just wait until they add mantling

[@daesk]

For me I use mosin and sv98 until I unlock the axmc, i dont really touch nato ammo snipers since i unlock the axmc before m80/m62

[@CoolestJonas]

I've never unlocked the axmc plus I think the axmc is too expensive. It's amazing and all but if you can just hit a headshot consistently then it doesn't really matter what sniper you have

[@daesk]

@@CoolestJonas its worth imo since you can go for thorax shots for realy long distances and sometimes 1 shot

[@defiyy]

Next time bring some stims to help you gain strength levels to jump higher :)

[@oldenoughtowatchify]

I've seen like 4 different titles for the video as I refreshed my feed lol is this the new meta?

whenever i see videos like "this is the best strategy in tarkov" and i just get so unlucky every time im using the technice

[@CoolestJonas]

hahah welcome to tarkov moment

[@alexbrookma]

bullet type u use matters a lot too, damage and velocity

[@CoolestJonas]

thats true, but then again most 7.62x51 go like minimum 800 meters per second which is basically light speed at that point lmao

[@epicgaming11195]

you should use a keybind for changing your zoom that doesn't need you to un-ads, mine is one of my side mouse buttons

[@CoolestJonas]

my side mouse buttons are lean. ive never had an issue with having to un ads to change zoom tho so i think its fine. i dont really think it gives that much of an advantage haha

[@epicgaming11195]

@@CoolestJonas ok, if it works for you then it's perfectly fine i just personally don't like having to take my eyes off my target to zoom

Knight is a goon wich is a boss he has 2 friends with him

[@CoolestJonas]

2 hackers

[@darkally1235]

@2:04 he wasn't hacking, you were sitting in a location known to be used by snipers; you also need to scan around - otherwise someone might see you before you see them. @3:05 hitting a target moving across your FoV is very difficult - you have to shoot ahead of them and get lucky; much easier to get hits if the target isn't moving (like you did at 5:14) @4:38 Knight is the sniper goon

[@CoolestJonas]

i know he wasnt hacking it was a joke hahaha

[@reahs4815]

Why dont you aim train in a offline raid?

Sniping, the pathetic way to play the game Running around with a sniper rifle is alright, it's the camping in this no objective game is what kills the game for me ESPECIALLY Extract camping. You're all coping if you think you're not extract camping. It Really isnt that hard to snipe, its pretty simple to lead shots The reason why it's so rewarding because you dont have to bring in any good armor or rigs when you're just sitting still in cover hunting for players. With the way we all play and how this game plays out, we're all practically Usec/Bear Raiders and Rouges Most of the time it's just a who see's who first and moving around is what makes you stick out like a sore thumb If only they change the shading and textures in this game, maybe players would stick out more, because of the multple of instance's of just glancing over players happens way too much but most of how anybody could blend in with anything just by standing still unless you're wearing anything bright with the exception of Green.
