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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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..

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thanks for the tips Westie!

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

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

Great tips and vid as always Westie

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

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

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

Great videos man :)

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

great tips Westie thank you

Thank you for this tutorial Westie. It really helped.

Fantastic video Westie! Happy new year!

The infantry variants make sniping more fun and worth while.

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

Westin u should do a tips and tricks for battlefield 1

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.

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

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!

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

Will enabling uniform aiming assist me I play a close medium and far range scout dependant on the map and I want to know if I'm changing for x2/x4/x6 magnification am I always going to be loosing that muscle memory

Hey guys just want to ask. At 4:00 when he ads the trees appear but when he unzooms they dissapear. Why is that, do high tech pc have this thing too?(I have a medium tech pc and it just hurts my eye's )

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.

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.

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

If you have k bullets equipped and fire at a vehicle does it automatically equip them or do you have to do it. Thanks

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

thnx for some handy sniper tips :D

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)

Great Vid!!!

Really helpful vid

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

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

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

i always had the k bullet but barely used it. with tripwire bombs i got more kills and it notifies me when there;s an enemy in that spot. so i know if they're nearby or going towards the objective. very usefull if used right

Westie why when you get revived by a medic do you have to switch your gun to fire? Is this a glitch and will dice fix it?

My favorite way to play battlefield! I love sniping.

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

what weapon are u using? is the buller goes straight?

This was helpful

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.

how do I compensate for the enemy team always being able to make a scout completely ineffectual or just being better? usually when I try sniping I just end up with a cavalry sword in my head or a model 10 jammed up my ass soon after spawning in, getting no practice and being unable to learn. how do I compensate for that westie?!

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

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

thanks that was useful

Let me see if I did understand correctly.. u said that scopes with 4x or less do not glare is that right?!

WESTIE! I need to know where you found the music in the intro of the video. I've combed the entire internet and cannot find it. Pls help

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.

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.

What does pressing down on d pad to change thr mm to 75mm 300mm actually do and when Should we actually use it

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

didnt dice ban all players with a nazi symbol for their emblem, i came across 1 the other day

I always wonder if your weapon is not so good with barrel. Do it have something to do with bullet drop on sniper weapon with barrels or without. I just play without, but do it have something so say? Its better with or without? See that u use it wth barrel on ur videos. thanks to the other tips westie :)

I need Your help Westie or from someone who know ths. i try to look into it but i cant find any information about it . i become rank 100 in bf1 3days ago and i didnt get any battlepack today or yesterday. only battlepack i have is whn i was rank 99 . i cant gett mor why ? is it bcs i am rank 100 now ? . is it the same wht war bonds. after a rank you don't get any more. thx i want battlepack :)

I am using the same gadgets like you. But the K bullet is buggy for me. Sometimes when I switch to K bullet the game is not loading the K bullets into the rifle instead just pull up another rifle wich cant even damage vehicles. And I instantly turned off auto peek when I first loaded a game in multiplayer. Its just annoying for me.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

I'm getting a K bullet bug. Instead of the K bullet I get another gun with 5 round magazine and 25 bullets total, but when I kill someone it says that it's a K bullet shot. And the gun doesn't make any damage to vehicles. Does anyone get the same bug?

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.

some good tips

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

Westie what about that follow up to the weapon idea video

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 :)

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

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

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.

good tips.

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

I find the zeroing function quite helpful

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 🙄

To clarify do the marksman versions of sniper rifles ever have glint?

During the whole video you were using the sniper with equipt bayonet. Here comes my question-do you use bayonet on your sniper often or it is just for the video

QUESTION: Does normal spotting highlight enemies for your whole team or just your squad??

What sniper is equivalent to the scout elite from Bf4?

Just wondering, can people see me as if I'm using a scope when I'm using infantry variants?

A sniping video yuss :)

westie im your biggest fan of all time

I have the Trench Periscope, it is incredibly underatted

Hey could you link your best sniper rifle video in the description?

that tip about the k bullet was amazing lol i never actually thought about it like that resetting of repair during retreat hahahaa can't believe i never thought of that lmao very g good tip. boy i feel like a dumbass

can anyone tell me how I have to use the 300, 150 and 50 meter settings?
