Sniper/Marksman Guide - Rising Storm 2 Vietnam! 

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.

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.

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

Love how they have Gunny as the Drill Sargent yelling in the background of the Training Grounds.

The best feeling is being behind enemy lines and getting 10 kills until you die or too far away to even see anyone.

50% of the guide should just be how to actually get the Sniper xd

11:40 is a clip from FMJ if you listen closely

marksman? oh you mean that role that is always taken by low level noobs that then dont use it?

0:30 the crying black man meme xD

Haha that mg guy. It always annoys the hell out of me when I've found a good position and some Rambo walks up with his mg firing like a madman.

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!

This is one of the best RU-vid videos I have ever seen. Even people who don't play this game can appreciate it. You talked about stuff I couldn't even think of

I just watched your video while bored in online class. I just want to say, thanks because u pointed out alot of things i didn't know. Keep it up! +1 subscriber.

Now that RS2 is free on Epic, I can already see a bunch of new guys watching videos like this to improve their skills. Although everybody knows that, regardless how fast you are, the Sniper class will be picked up by some level 2 noob that will get only 3 kills in the match anyway...

One time I miraculously found an empty marksman slot and grabbed it, but I had no idea what to do and couldn't hit a damn thing so I switched to scout. Next time I'll be ready to fulfil my destiny!

Bro ending is amazing. Good work.

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

you deserve way more views man, your videos are great. the amount of effort you put in is insane :)

Wow I never knew that there was a night-vision mode for the Dragunov's sights!

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

I just watched the video, I never played that game. But brother, this video is amazing from the sniper side , I’m surprised you don’t have more than 100k. Keep working you just got a new sub 👍🏽

Good to see you back man. Looking forward to you covering all the other roles.

This videos of rising storm are pure art, i re watch all of them at least 4 times, even if i never play the game, this videos make me feel nostalgic about it.

RU-vid recommended finally did a good job. Love Your videos!

I really needed this guide. Good vid, greetings.

Awesome video dude looks like you put a lot of time into this :D

And subscribed Learned quite some things I never knew after playing this game for months.

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.

Halfcock wore a white feather on his hat because he said he wanted to “give them a chance” that’s why he was nick named the white feather in case you were wondering.

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

Glad to see you used Vietcong musics in the background. Still my favorite game since 2003.

Wow. Just wow. You are a master and I have learned much! Epic kills, btw.

Great and fun video my dude! Keep it up!

Bro you should narrate some nature documentaries.

So sad at the end! Thanks bro.

Love the videos. I hope you didn’t stop making them for good.

Old Vietcong soundtrack ! love it ! Thanks for all the tips!

Been waitung for new video for so long

Second time I watch this video, still holding it dear awesome stuff

I just want to say thank you because before, I would get like 15 kills with a sniper, not bad, but not great, but after the guide, I went off for 43 kills, thank you

great video, very entertaining and informative subbed

21:41 oh you play on 40-1 servers, ill be looking for you in the distance haha

Okay, I've never played this game, but this guide has looked very good!

Just had my first game. I killed a VC sniper that used an SVD to pick off my teammates. I picked it up, found myself a cozy spot, relocated often and used the rifle well. 14-15 kills before running out of ammo, went back to the M14 and got slapped. Holy heck it was fun seeing VC running around trying to find me.

Those Vietcong throwback tracks

Great video man 26:18 There's always one badass dude with a shotgun haha

Really interesting, thanks to share the experience

thanks for the vid. I always wondered what those black leaves were about.

Cool video, man. Well done.

Really great content. Thanks for taking the time. Hope to meet you in game one day

Wow, thank you man!

Man the commentary..! 👏🏻👏🏻

Just watched your video awesome, joined a game sat waiting few mins and 2 gi's hide behind bamboo fence bingo my first kill Hex dk lol thx

thank you for the beautiful video man

Patience in this game is great for others than snipers too. I once crawled over half a map to destroy enemy tunnels that were in great position for them but I couldn't approach them running because it was quite open area I had to go through, so I crawled, took out few enemies that were coming my way, crawled some more and destroyed the tunnels. And just like that the whole left flank of the enemy was disabled.

Great Vid Hex

Great video!

Nice video bro! You're hella good!

Great tutorial. I really enjoyed it, thanks.

Superfed video. Godt fortalt, god musik, godt klippet. Bravo!

To find the range, mark an enemy with z and use the range below the mark

I dont play this game, but this is a well made video guide with funny bits inside lol I actually watch this full with no skip Im glad i found this on accident

Awesome video, thank you n.n

Great guide

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

great video!

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.

Great guide, thank you.

Do you know how much meters in one circle on the map?

Damn the Springfield at the start hit me hard bro :D

Always Love ur vid dude this is prophet Sam

Hell yeah this video was awesome.

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

i love shooting at flyers with the regular mosin (non sniper) its a different feeling when you down them with a single shot

This video is really good

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.

I always loved to be a sniper in Battlefield so doing it in this game was just a match made in heaven for me.

Nice guide Hex.... :)

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

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.

Good guide! But if you want your own tunnel you can also lock the squad

sweet vid, now all I have to do is get that role before anyone else

00:06 : Oh, that's a Renault 4CV.

Amazing tuto. thx 4 ur help.

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!

What a great video

A lot of being good at sniper is learning common highways and defensive positions. Also knowing the ballistics of your sniper helps a lot. You kinda have to get used to the feel of the gun and it kinda becomes second nature. A lot of the time you just take the shot and not think about it too much. Attacking sniper often times has to play slightly more agressive to keep enemy heads down. Defensive snipers have more luxery to set themselves up in a nice camping spot. Usually you wouldn't find yourself adjusting your scope in most maps so it more useful to learn bullet drop on default sightings.

was playing Resort yesterday. SL was sniper. we landed on the left side of C (team attacking B) we stayed low, well hidden, picked our shots carefully. i had the M14 (was a scout) rest of the team are mixed. either way, we let SL (the sniper) take the lead on shots. if we couldnt make the shot because its too far, we'd spot em for the sniper. only 1 or 2 of us would shoot at a given time. slower paced shooting than usual so as to not give away our position... we wrecked that left side hill and no one ever found us till we moved for E point.

I love the intro

I don’t even play this game yet it was still very helpful

There is nothing better than that perfect headshot

“That camo cosmetic is illegal! omg omg shame on you devs im refunding!!” - r6 siege player playing rs2

AWESOME VIDEO.

Great video. Subbed! But just one thing (maybe you mentioned, but I didn't see) Never reveal your silhouette to the sky, always have something behind you ;)

Great quality video. ;)

This video is a 10/10

Full metal jacket asmr Outstanding pvt Pyle

I don't even play this game but this was very entertaining!

It is really important to practice markmanship with non-scoped weapons before actually getting the sniper role

Very Good Guide I really miss playing on 40-1 #2 after watching your videos :( Greetings ONiZUKA
