Not from cheap shit tactics

[@Keiser-h4z]

Good tip too, for real sniping, not 70 meters shot like most people do.. clothes, no helmet, never, hat with leaf on it, beanie ect, and for woods at least green clothes with pattern on it, the AMOUNT of time people just pass 2 meters away from me while i'm prone cause they don't see me even when they look at me is insane.

One of the most fun things ive tried in a long while is sniping with the VSS, no one ever knows where its coming from and its really cool in an urban setting like on reserve, done it a ton and killed some full squads. Would recommend

[@tgsphantom]

VSS with SPP is the best sniper in the game and you cant change my mind

[@paulherzog7858]

Kinda like it should be used in real life😁

[@cannatre]

VSS needs to be modded to be actually good and doing so is expensive af, bullet cost aside - better of with a 7.62x39 caliber build for way more stopping power and far cheaper. Not to mention you'll be shooting 9x39mm SP-6 gs likely which is currently 2k a bullet - and yes you MOW through bullets just look at the fire rate, so unless you farm rubles all day for kits or money is no object or its the very end of the wipe don't bother - it's a ridiculously uneconomical kit.

Ive tried sniping for the first time, and its a bit more relaxing than running around, chadding out (not that i ever get too, im not that good) but the feeling i got from doing shooter born in heaven for the first time, as my first sets of kills on streets made me love and appreciate bolt actions

[@lymey]

Loved every second of this video. Can't wait for more! this has brought back my excitement to play Tarkov again :D

[@SgtPrepperTV]

Appreciate it, a change of pace or playstyle always makes Tarkov feel so fresh again.

I watch videos to start playing Tarkov, and I find your advice great. Thank you!

[@Ranger79]

Awesome channel brother, fellow vet here, love the tactics, also your the first streamer I see use smoke for concealment on looting, good shit!

[@NoFear1979]

On customs you have a really nice angle from the office windows in big red towards the RUAF roadblock where you can easily see if someone is running about, be it scavs or PMC's. The range is approx 200 meters and with that elevation set on your scope, you get some pretty spot on hits aiming for the center mass. In addition to the offices windows there is a pretty neat vantage point at the beginning of the bridge from big red in the grass which gives a nice overwatch as well. Although a bit more riscy since others tends to pass there more frequently. Nice gameplay and utilization of concealment, like it should be.

[@SgtPrepperTV]

I thought about specific spots a bit but I generally just don't sit still much in Tarkov unless a fight is nearby, so my goal was to still be traversing the map like normal but adapting to how I approach and find fights. I agree that's a sweet spot to snipe across though. o7

[@NoFear1979]

@@SgtPrepperTV fair point. Imo it seems you did a pretty good job of traversing the maps looking for kills of opportunity without compromising yourself. Which of course is something that would not be appliable staying in one spot for too long. The only upside to places like the office windows is that you are presented with a pretty generous overview of alot of open ground, while being concealed in a position where there is only one way into, which makes it pretty safe aswell. Which in addition applies well to the small 2nd story rooms in warehouse 4 as well. You also have the broken window in the south western top floor of warehouse 4 that overlooks a pretty large area towards stronghold. The sub-station area is pretty nice as well for sniping towards the lower ground areas. Maybe concept for another snipe video? :D

[@SgtPrepperTV]

@@NoFear1979 definitely another fun video idea. I’m also a huge fan of bait bags or calling airdrops to watch or just firing off an AK then taking cover. So many ways to goof around sniping and I love it all.

[@NoFear1979]

@@SgtPrepperTV The bait trap concept is viable indeed. It was great to see in this video how you used the airdrop to your advantage. Really well played. Looking forward to another video, please let me know if so 8-)

LOL... That was a MASTERCLASS SGT on how to Snipe on Tarkov... Loved how you took your time for the best Kill shot.. Thanks Great Gameplay Sir...

[@wolfdima]

There is nothing so satisfying in Tarko as bolty gameplay. I love taking trusty Kedr as a backup, gives more confidence with 1000rpm when things get close and personal. And I love going nuts with expensive setups for M700 or SV-98. It adds more style points to the endeavor..

[@SgtPrepperTV]

If you have any rules or guidelines you follow in Tarkov let me know in the comments, I'm always interested in improving and adapting my playstyle. As with all of my narrated videos, this was created by sewing together a couple of raids.

[@tacos420.7]

“OH Yeh. Do it crouched”. 😂😂

[@cheweyhunter2025]

Move in front of shots or fights not to them, know your map and colors, I've killed so many players wearing black on woods just because of the contrast, I've almost missed people just cus they have green on but had a black or Tan bag

[@SgtPrepperTV]

@@cheweyhunter2025 hah, I argue this a lot. I love the woodland hunter camo for pmc drip but the black outfits obscure you so much better even in green environments. You’re just part of the shadow behind the leaves and trees, not hard lines.

[@achokaracho7021]

I love sniping with bolt action rifles in Tarkov There is nothing more exciting for me than chasing someone and waiting for the "one" shot. The feeling of the tension building up when you're chasing someone and manage to stay unseen and then pull the trigger at the right moment, the feeling that flows through you is indescribable. It's nice to see that someone also prefers this style of play. Most players play Tarkov like cod or cs and run and jump around with full auto weapons. A few rules I stick to. 1. there is always one more! 2. don't get too greedy! Greed usually ends fatally. 3. avoid unnecessary movements, the eye reacts to movements. I have been overlooked so many times because I just crouched still in the same place. no movement, not even the head. often they then run past you. 4. if an opponent comes very close, don't go into ADS with the gun, he will hear it immediately, let him get close and shoot from the hip. 5. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast I got this from a video where a RL sniper looks at sniper games and reacts to them. Gave many tips that I try to implement

[@the-yomma]

Most underrated channel on YT right now! Thanks for the great videos

[@ЯБезымянный-о5ф]

Rule of a thumb: bad visibility - go slow, clear space - go fast. I also recommend taking an RGN when going solo sniping. Sometimes enemies appear from where you don't expect them, and you better have plan B.

[@gkato]

Good storytelling! Reminds me of Drewski. I wish I could be as patient as you in raids.

[@timmy_team_6285]

[@Hendur]

Another Tip from a player, who is more often than not forced to play a very stealthy kinda way, because my game performance isn't always that good and I'm pretty trash in Tarkov: Sometimes, the best play is to just stay put and wait for a few minutes. Hearing a gunfight some distance ahead? Chances are that the winner of that fight will run right into your arms, having their guard a bit down since they left the dangerous area of the fight they just had. Just find some favorable positions on important spots all around the maps you all know too well, and you should be able to take those players out, coming right towards you

[@MilkTestingMan]

Man sniping is what I want to do more of this wipe. I didn’t have WiFi when wipe happened unfortunately, so I just started my wipe a few weeks ago. Grinding for money rn, so I have funds for doing streets tasks for more XP, but once I’m closer to level 3 traders I’m gonna start sniping a lot.

this was acctually insane all your rules pay off it shows that patients is key, they always come back for there buddys loot and all you need is a reposition from the first kill. it also great because you prove a point on why run in with an ar on a 1 on 1 gunfight when you can play smart, starting and ending a fight with 1 precision shot

Also another thing that would be sick, say for example there was a guy in scav camp on would and you was in a spot but couldn’t see the guys I would be good to have a teammate that’s always flanking to cut off so you can see 2 whole angles. Then if you seen enemy’s run from the red and white tower to usec camp you could have your friend cut infront and have the enemy run to him
