Battlefield 4: Sniping Tutorial. How to Become a Better Sniper in BF4. 

There was this one time when a lot of enemies were all lined up looking over the edge of the building, i took my time and got to shoot every single one of them one by one, i was surprised none of them jumped or moved away, they were so oblivious for some reason, it was like picking off sitting ducks one by one, it was the most memorable sniping experience ever lol

Sniping in battlefield- learn the bullet drop, relocate when you're spotted, get used to the scopes, learn the behavior of the guns... Sniping in cod- just shoot thats all.

One of the best sniping tutorials I've seen on RU-vid - great video and amazing accuracy.

The spot button for PS4 now is the R1 button :)

I never use the range finder. I was always comfortable with just aiming above the head. Plus today I was called a "hardscoper" in battlefield of all games. Him hating hard scoping so much on a game like battlefield probably explained why he missed every shot. And know this, he was over 100 meters away. Bottom line good video, will keep all of these things in mind and will practice more on the aggressive side as sometimes I make the right decision when faced with close quarters sniping but practise will come in handy when I am forced to do it thanks.

It's frustrating on the consoles because players rarely spot enemies. -_-

i wish that silencers could be removed and put back on mid-game. just like turning a flashlight on and off, there could be a silencer remove button. I love my close range sniping. My favourite part of the game is getting near an objective, doing some silence sniping, and capturing the objective. But there are times when I need to take someone out from a long range (they are sniping me or a teammate needs help or I just want to do some long range sniping). I really wish this could be a thing. It would make the game so much better

Yours is the style of sniping that I'm working to develop. I am transitioning from CoD 4 on the pc and was a 3+ kd player using mostly bolts, but have dropped to around a 1.5 in bf4. I think the most important thing I can take away from this video is that I'm still rushing my shot too much, thanks for the upload.

I just started playing battlefield 4 on xb1 i love the sniping it's challenging but when you do it right it's effective.. I'm definitely subscribing

You're such an awesome sniper man. I'm jealous.

I was already a decent sniper on BF, but after I watched you, I started to increase my level of skill and now I am division 1 sniper. All because of you! Thank you very much! Keep making vids!

Good video. For CQB sniping I usually use a canted iron sight, it really helps, unlocked all snipers in 8 hours. Allows for killing close targets and allows you to swap back to a Medium/Long range scope instantly

Really helpful video's, i sucked at sniping and now with the zeroing im hitting every shot dead on. Also the m98 rulez.

Whether youre trying to get practice to be better or not, going 2-10 every game gets frustrating.

I'm mainly a recon in Battlefield. I noticed that the way I play with the other classes base off of my play style as a recon. I didn't realize that until I saw this video lol. But near the end, you said to be an aggressive sniper. I personally would recommend to play your own way. I snipe with x20 scopes or higher (if x40, then I'll use variable zoom). I don't know why, but anything lower than that makes me feel uncomfortable. No idea why though. Playing with these scopes obviously puts me in a position where my best choice is to be a passive sniper, since the magnification in the scope will screw up any chances of me actually landing the shot on my enemy and finishing them off with my sidearm. As you stated "you sidearm is you best friend", that is very true lol. I would recommend the G18, for how close it is to an automatic rifle, but again, it's anyone's personal choice. Great video though, really enjoyed the realization it gave me!

Just started playing BF4 last night, and tend to be a sniper player. This was a great video with lots of helpful info for a newb like me. Thanks for putting it together!

this guy has some serious skills on the sniper.

Lots of good tips here. My sniping has greatly improved over the last few weeks. I have way more headshots and my kill to death ratio has gone way up. I rarely get killed by another sniper but I kill snipers easily. My k/d ratio for snipers is probably 15+/1. One thing I would suggest is never sight in or dope your scope. It throws you off cause rarely are targets exactly 200, 300, 400 etc away from you and by the time you dope your scope the target is gone. I also never go prone. Usually in a full Conquest match, I get 30+ kills to 20 deaths and maybe 2 deaths by sniper, mostly from assaults on my position that I was unable to defend or retreat. Thanks for the vids!

I've really watched almost all your videos and I never comment on anything but you're really good at commentary and teaching. You're one of the people that should be famous right now. You've earned a sub.

Man you really helped me i was having a lot of doubts about my rifles and u just ended it well thanks man u got 1 more subscriber

Your tip for 20% sensitivity really helped, a very informative video. Thanks man!

Thank you, that was very solid and logical advise. I myself kept on switching weapons too much but the one I settled on was the L96A1 which for me worked like a dream. I gotta say, I've never seen a better sniper, that was simply AMAZING!!!!

I wish they would change the scope view for snipers. Instead of the screen being blacked out in the area not covered by the scope's view, I wish it would just go slightly blurry. That way you could see your peripheral's like in in real life. It would help identifying targets that are flanking you.

You know your shit! I like that here is a new subscriber. Thanks for your video! Very informative! I'm new in bf been playing less than a month and it's been really hard to snipe since I come from halo and cod which they don't have the bullet drop or curve when doing strafe moves!. But Ive been improving a little just with practice. Hopefully your tips will help me cover all the basics! Thanks man and great job!

Surprised this was in my suggestions. I saw this years ago, totally forgot about it but still worth the watch

what a fantastic upload.. i didnt really learn anything new but really enjoyed your content. I have played bfbc2 bf3 and now bf4. Everything you said is true and people wanting to improve would do well to listen. Definately a thumbs up from me man

Thanks for the video. The tutorials helped me. I've watched the bf3 tutorial awhile back. Bf3 was my first time ever playing any bf so I was a noob then. Over time I've gotten better. I'm still not even close to being an expert but I do hold my own pretty well. I'm one of those people that try to unlock everything assignments scopes battle packs etc for each gun and I worked my way down to the sv98 and at first I didn't like that they don't give you the 8x scope right away and that 7x ballistic scope had me confused for awhile but I've grown to like it especially for aggressive recon. That and the laser scope worked really well. Actually went 22-11. That might be low for some people but like I said I'm no pro but hey if the kills are more than the deaths something is right. And it's because of tutorials like this. Thanks!!

RB to spot on Xbox. Down on the DPAD to adjust scope range. Up on the DPAD to switch variable zoom (assuming its equipped in your kit). I think the two most valuable points for new snipers 1) map awareness and 2) wait for the target to pause / stop moving before taking the shot. It can be extremely frustrating as a new sniper attempting to hit a moving target so don't waste shots and give away your position doing so. Great job on the vid.

So Im pretty sure I found your channel on a search for a tutorial on how to be a better sniper after watching one of levelcap's sniper reviews. I think it was the M40A5 possibly...anyway Ive really enjoyed your videos and have been able to get a few decent, even accidentally awesome kills lately. Im more comfortable playing Assault or Engineer but Ive been trying to get better on long range shooting. I was really impressed with how well you switched to your sidearm and took out the other 2 guys right around 3:00-3:20 min. on Rogue Transmission - that was some really great shooting. Anyway, I really do appreciate the work you put into these and look forward to watching more.

Man you're the best thank you very much for help (and you are a real pro sniper man i hope if be like this sniping)

Just watching your ability to pick off the enemy makes me chuckle at the thought of all the 'Tr1CkSh0tT3Rs' on COD attempting all their 360 no-scopes and all that jazz. Nothing beats the battlefield, period.

Best tip i ever got; Don't play on 64 player servers and don't take too long to take a shot unless it's more than 200 meters away, read this on a forum a while ago and it helped me.

I think you've changed my perception of aggresive recon, seeing how aggresive you are at mid range, Pick. Thanks !

This was really helpful I'm just getting familiar with sniping since BF3 I normally play with engineer but this was real helpful cuz I like sniping hitting moving targets my only weakness but I can say I've gotten better thanks bro

Watching this in 2016

Dang man your my new favorite RU-vid channel, thanks for the video your very descriptive and i like it other you tubers are like "you shoot like this and the bullet drops." So yea keep it up

I watch this when you first released it and it helped heaps thanks bud👍👍👍

This was really helpful and it made me confirm that i was doing most thing right like not developing patterns when avoiding enemy sniper fire and switching to my side arm in close quarters but whenever I make a kill because I am a long range sniper I always change my positions when I make a kill because they will likely hunt you and also they can see your last couple of movements so I'd move in the opposite direction of where you want to go for at least 10 seconds to throw them off then go your original direction

Really good video - I saw your older video and that's what made me the good sniper that I am now - a lot of the stuff you said in this video is useful and I hope that newer snipers can use these tips to their advantage! Thank you for the help over the years!

Nice vid, I hope this helps me. And I kinda wanna be as good as you, but it'll take practice.:( I wish it was easier.

this is perfect, good old information, no bullshit just straight to the point.. great video i would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to learn some tips on sniping on BF4

Very good sniping video. Awesome lessons. Total rookie here and cant wait to try out your pointers.

very good advice! I would even go so far as to say that sniping in tdm is a good idea to help force a passive sniper to turn aggressive.

I go prone a lot, but I also usually shoot out between 200-500m and utilize proper concealment. Majority of the time I'm able to go undetected and can change position as necessary.

M98B is my favorite sniper in this game hands down. I'm a long range sniper and the M98B really makes things easier when picking up kills from a distance :)

Excellent video I am quite a good sniper in BF but though I did not learn much from this video you clearly know what you are doing and I hope people can get better from people like you and me from watching your video and playing with us on the battlefield. Good luck sniping!

such smooth and perfect commentary, totally subbed.

Once you learn the maps good enough you could move to hardcore. You can still get kills without the minimap if you know the map well because you will know choke points and hot spots like Pick 6 said in his vid. I can play both hardcore and core, but I prefer hardcore because in my eyes it's more realistic to get one-hit-kills more of the time at least. Basically it's not one-hit-kills all the time but it just increase the distance at which you can get them.Btw this helped me a lot Pick 6, I watched you vids in BF3 and now I'm a really good sniper! I get mvp in a regular TDM and my K/D is like 1.85. I own it all to you because you helped me get from MW3 sniping and quickscoping noobs, to getting 1000m+ headshots and going 32 and 4 in TDM and Domination. Thanks man.

wow man i didnt know bf was so realistic ive always played cod im geting bf4 and i will be a rookie any time ive tried to play bf i didn give it a chance but from all the videos ive seen its one that i think i will really like nice video keep it up

Good video.. to be honest I was petrified of the recon class but im def warming up to it now. . this was very informational

This really really helped thank you so much! Keep up the good work!:)

Thanks alot. This seriously helped SOOOOOOOO much. Spot is R1 on PS4.

PS3 spotting is the R2, the right trigger. Have fun raking in kills!

i really like your vids. just discovered your channel and you give alot of great, and useful tips. i also really like the way you go in dept of the different aspects, like your tank video. :) thanks!!

Xbox One (and 360 too i believe) spotting button is Right Bumper Playstation 4 spotting button depends on player controls. Default is R1 but players can select to reverse L1/R1 with L2/R2 for "classic" controls. Also on playstation 3 if controls are the same as beta then spotting button is actually R2 and not Select like BFBC2 and BF3 As for the commenter asking about the mil-dots, I have heard and read a couple different places that they correspond too 100 meters each but when lining up shots in the test range using a Range Finder to get accurate distance it seems to be 250 meters. If someone could test and confirm this a lot of people would be grateful

Hey Pick. Nice video like always and the advice you gave helped me a ton. Keep doing what you are doing because you are really helpful. See you on the battlefield!

I cant believe this is a Battlefield 4 video, and already has 10 years, time...

Great video pick. Better than the bf3 video. You still got it man. ;)

When i snipe i use the binoculars to find range on long shots i find it easier than using range finders because 1 range finders need tons of kills to get 2because it has larger view and 3 because it doesn't glint like snipers do making it easier to recon and plan attacks on positions also tagging vehicles gives exp as well as spotting and when you play conquest as the round starts you can get so much exp i think i got 300 points within the first 30 seconds of a game then 200 more because my squad took out some helos id marked id suggest to any rookies who play to use binos to start out and always adjust your barrel

good video learnt a lot. however it is not called a 'Silencer' it is called a 'Suppressor' as it suppresses the sound, makes it quieter but their is still a sound, it just cant be heard if you are not in close proximity to it. A silencer would stop the sound from being heard no matter what distance you were from it. However both do create more bullet drop as the stuff inside to either muffle or stop the sound reduce the velocity the bullet can travel because of he friction inside the suppressor/silencer. However the video 10/10.

One thing that you missed, at least what I think you missed, is the fact that you need to get a comfortable sidearm. In those close range engagements, kwikscoping and noscoping usually get you killed. the pistols are beast in BF4 so I think that you should turn to them instead of a close range sniper kill

thank you for ur time. ur thoughts & expierence has helped me to b a better sniper!

Can't agree with you more about switching up guns to soon/often

The bipod is for us Colonels 😂

Thx It really helped now my friends are jealous so i tell them to go to this video :D

thanks for the tips. I have improved my gameplay a lot. Best game so far went 25 and 9 with 7k points and was top on my team. i play with the starting sniper rifle (muzzle break, 6x scope w/ 14x magnification, and the improved bolt) i like it the best. :D

Some great tips has helped me out a lot with sniping

i use the m988 with the original scope with variable zoom x14 with straight pull and use Pld and c4 it works well

i tend to go with carbines for recon basicly to help out as a spotter with beacon / manual spotting . reason for this is basicly to lvl up my kit but cuz im not that good with sniper riffles i tend to use DMRs going between iron sight and medium optics

You're the best dude, liked all your vids.

Spot with R1 for PS4 and i think RB on Xbox ONE

This looks so easy when pick 6 is doing this

God... has a hardon for snipers.... because we spot everything we see. And to show our appreciation for such power. we keep heaven filled with fresh souls.

I have a question, on those quick shots are you using slow breathe or are you just lining up real quick and shooting?

i assume there are lots of strong sniper rifles but my favorite and trust worthy rifle is the SV-98

Very good thorough, factually based opinions. Reminds me of my buddy who is popping heads like you

Im unlocking snipers faster becuz of ur vids!! keep the good vids comin man!

Id love too see this guy on hardcore

ive always been a cod guy (dont laugh) but when i got my xbone i finally decided to give it a go, i loveeeeee it, the guns feel great especially the snipers, now ive put some real practice in im getting pretty good and ive got sum nice clips, ur videos have been a help aswell, keep it up :)

o my godzzz you are invincible with the sniper dude,thanks for helping me ;) PS: go ahead with tha headshots

Excellent comprehensive video!

just so you know, on XBOXONE its RB

Well done. Thanks for sharing these tips.

I’m a junkie (excuse the usage,) for sniping in BF. That dopamine rush is hard to resist.

Great video man! Just a little suggestion, people who are watching the video are trying to learn/get better at sniping, right? And they probably won't get the words what you say sometimes since you use sort of technical words, so maybe explain what the word means? :D. I get it, it's just others might not now. Great video though man! :).

How do you do this? Sniping is way difficult. Then again I always suck at sniping in every shooting game. You've got amazing skills and awesome tutorials. I watch the long range one and it helped me alot.

My top snipers are 1.M98B 2.338 Recon 3. SRR-61

Earned my sub, thanks for this info!

I'm not a pro snipper at games I'm like in between I'm okay bt not super good, idk why people don't like the bullet trace on the game I think is helpful and realistic also this one time in rogue transmission on harcore mode conquest I was by the spot where you pick up the heli and had a sniper snipping me from one of the towers by the far end of the map. if it wouldve not being for the bullet trace when it went by next to me I would have not found him, I saw the trace go by next to my shoulder when it hit the ground, soon as it passed saw that the trace was coming from behind and high altitude so I hid and pulled out my snipper and searched where I was most certain that bullet came from and there he was scoping out the location so I hid again, then lurked scoped and took a shot, he had also spotted me bt good thing I shot first lol

thanks for the time and effort in this. very helpful

Sniping is the one thing I haven’t done in bf4.......been trying for a couple days now, I’m painfully bad at it. It’s getting frustrating.

Great video, and some nice tips. Not sure if it's me but sniping seems more difficult on console.

Hey pick great video man i m one good sniper on console some of those tips helped me a lot thnkz

I should have watch your videos before even entering to BF4

spot on xbox one is RB

Trying to snipe on this game with a controller is so frustrating. So often I miss the head by a hair. Maybe it's because of the new movement system.

Instead of scoping in with the sniper us the PLD Gadget....not only does it not give off a glint it shows you exactly where everyone is b/c it's infared.

interesting videos and viewpoints trying to apply your advice as just recently decided Recon suits my style (or lack of it) just getting use to the quick sniping. I play on PS4 my I'd is Notty91 so happy to look out for fellow players Thanks for the tips

Brilliant tutorial on sniping thanks a lot

You are a legend sniper. I am impressed.
