The GAMMA Sniper Tier List 

Ammo for Gauss Rifle or Object 62 can be bought form Merchant on Great swamps in Clear Sky Base at maximum trust level it cost around 82k for 32 rounds so its still very expensive.

7:09 Takes one shot; Is immediately stoned to death by frag grenades

5:25 Not sure about recent changes but it used to be that Gauss Rifle ammo could've been found in stashes especially ones that have task documents and clear sky trader sold the ammo.

its been 84 years

Note in general. The tier list is there to be populated throughout the whole list. If you put half of the guns in one tier and another 1/4th in another there's not much granularity in them imho. You know, like, which one is the best if there are no bad ones sort of thing.

Personally, I find SKS Tactical S tier. Historic kit puts it instantly on A, fast fire rate and possibility to use 30 round mags (upgraded original) is the best of all snipers, if you upgrade it to high fire rate and recoil control, you have a beam. Then Scopes, as said in video, takes pretty much all good scopes, a big plus is being able to switch it to iron sight (Tactic variant), so you can have long range scope and close quarter "DMR" for all the situations, I can even count times that it saved me when someone left the corner and was instantly shot 6 times with powerful rounds. It has a cheap silencer that makes it stealth viable. After all of this, it can be rechambered into a 7.62x54 round, making it viable to late mid-game. Overall, you can get it very early into the game (swaps is a good place). Shoot it like a DMR both long and close range (due to big choice of cheap scopes and a quick scope change mechanic), use cheap starting game round that is very strong actually (craftable with green powder). Then rechamber it to higher tier and use it till late mid-game, until you get the calibration kit and use the late game weapons. That said, yes it is not the most powerful gun in the game, far from that, but it is one of the most versatile guns both in terms of game progression and game style. Easy to get hands on, easy to repair and easy to play with. Definitely S+ tier

I love SKS tactical. Having a semi auto gun with 20 round magazine, suppressor and decent scopes (I personally love the Hyperion scope mounting on it - it's surprisingly low and ergonomic) that requires only Historic kit is really cool. Though somehow 7,62x39 feels like it's less powerful than 5,45 (at least for me) so I prefer my SKS with 7,62x54 upgrade. I don't think that's technically possible in real life, but in the game I think it's one of the best ammo types, especially considering you can craft decent AP round with basic bullets and another variety with more penetration with AP bullets.

I'm currently in the process of moving my hideout this couldn't be at a better timing as I can now decide on what I need to leave behind love all your content by the way keep on keeping up.

You’re alive! Thanks for your work and much love from the American Midwest 👍❤️

I didn't even know that there is such a small variety of sniper rifles in gamma. Thank you for the video Mox!

One thing of note about the Saboteur is that its basically a silenced urbana so it gets extra damage over the regular and, not entirely sure about this but it feels this way at least, the degradation isn't as effected compared to other snipers that need a silencer attached.

You did my VSSK so dirty last time. Let out a cheer when you said A tier. All your videos are S tier, thanks for helping new players out so much.

Hell yeah, more content!!!! You rock!!!!

Just a stat check tier list. Things can be improve. IMO Availability. Ammo price.weight??. Scope uses .. Sks is my go to weapon mid game. Easy chain head shots. Will drop anyone in a heartbeat. Deer hunter is tacticol.

Reinstalled Gamma after a year away. Feels good to be back in the Zone. Feels like home. VSSK has a special place in my heart. As well as as the bullpup SVD. That was my first rifle I repaired fully.

0:31 he said that because of me! LMAO, love yah nullmoxy.... and Glory to the VSSK, glad to see her in the tier A on your list xD.

If you're playing EFP instead of Gamma, though, the Mosin-Nagant would be bumped up to B or even A tier for one simple factor: It's relatively quick to reload and doesn't use magazines. Magazines are an important factor in EFP, and you'd kind of prefer your limited magazine slots (not to mention having to top up said magazines) for your close-mid range weapon than a weapon you can take your time with.

The mk1 forester when upgraded for the silencer adapter has a better scope for some reason

I literally just watched the whole tier list playlist yesterday and the day before, I thought I was going nuts when I saw it in my recommended lol. How do you make the distinction between a full auto DMR and a sniper rifle? I just fixed up an SR-25 to run with an SV98 in place of my old AK, is it just a matter of caliber?

so.. we can expect re-do's of the shotgun, Ar's and smg tierlists and all that also? can't wait for seeing them!

6:25 I've ran a mosin all the way to late game. That gun 9 times out of 10 kills stalkers with 1 or 2 chest shots unless they have an exoskeleton.

And here I thought we had lost you to the zone

The winchester rifle needs an upgrade kit to make it like the moded one in Killing Floor.

Aaand you did one dirty once again. What makes sks family much better early/mid game is that it can be rechambered to 7.62x54 and thats with basic toolkit.. very underestimated guns. Some people rock em into end game(for flare reasons mostly)

Very solid list in my opinion. Gauss rifle belongs where it does as if you find one you will most likely not even use it because of the ammo.

I value the weight and ammo type the most for guns i carry, i cant imagine having a 10kilo rifle pre upgrades and also having to carry loads of ammo because it doesnt do enough damage

Can you make a list for actual artifacts and not the perk ones?

Can you keep the Gauss Rifle that you get as part of a quest in Zaton, or is there another one you can find? On my last playthrough I used it for a bit until I ran out of all the ammo I'd acquired, and then turned it in to advance the quest.

Currently doing a Clear Sky run, you can actually buy some guass rifle ammo from Spore. Only issue is the price... You need Stonks for that stuff.

I hope you update all your guide if possible for us newbies keep up the good work

In this mod, any assault rifle is better than sniper rifles. I do not understand why standard 5.45 ammunition has the same penetration as, for example, 7.62* 54 and at the same time they cost much more. I tried to clean Limansk from a Monolith with a Remington 700 with BR6 ammunition and gave up this idea because these ammunition did not penetrate even MEDIUM armor well, and they cost more than 10,000 rub for 15 rounds.

More more more!

Can you rate Ultimate Gun Pack for Gamma?

Snipers in movies - kill target in one shot and disappear from the scene. Snipers in real life- sit whole day or more without movement and wait for good opportunity to strike and relocate (and better to do it in one shot) And now there is a complain about fire rate? My man: this is a sniper rifle. It should be slow fire rate. If you want fast fire rate than take assault rifle or machinegun. But still great video keep it up champ

Tight

I went from SKS to the Mauser 98k, then to the Deer hunter. Only thing that sucks is the cost of ammo.

Damn, that's all the snipers in gamma? That's it?

3:38 That was also true in standard-issue Anomaly. Just another pointless handicap. Plus, you reloaded it "wrong-handed" in regular Anomaly (which the Soviet Union actually trained its hapless expendable conscripts to do because they assumed common folk were too stupid to exhibit basic trigger discipline). Oh, and the reload animation was tediously slow for no reason. Note: Just to reiterate (since I've mentioned it elsewhere), by "wrong-handed," I mean reloading with the shootin' hand instead of the support hand. 4:20 As you should. 4:54 A "wrong-handed" reload would be justifiable with the VSSK because it's a straight-pull bolt-action bullpup. 5:34 Can you convert it to 7.62 NATO in GAMMA? You can in standard-issue Anomaly. IDF snipers actually used ones like that decades ago. 5:48 Only because it's old. It was considered good by WW2 standards. 6:20 Plus, the scope attaches to the wrong side for no reason. And why does it still have a straight bolt?! Not "straight-pull" bolt. "Straight" bolt. Since you can add and remove a scope at will, it should have a curved bolt. The straight-bolt version was the infantry version. The curved-bolt version was the sniper version. Oblivion Lost 2010 got that right by having one of each, both having upsides and downsides. The infantry model was used with iron sights and reloaded using 5-round stripper clips. The sniper model had a scope and was single-loaded. 6:37 I guess since the scope is mounted "scout" style (forward of the action), it's almost tolerable. Wouldn't be necessary if it had a curved bolt. Then it could be mounted back closer to the eye where it belongs. 7:28 In theory, it should be a really good mutant hunter's rifle, but I'm going to hazard a guess they screwed it over to make it less capable of doing that job. In regular-flavor Anomaly, it could accept a ye olde PU scope and was worthless garbage, somehow less effective than an SKS, and drastically less effective than the underrated Type 63. 7:44 Odd classification, but I'll go with it since Mordecai from the Borderlands saga is referred to as both a "sniper" and a "hunter." 7:56 If you want a scope on a levergun, get a Marlin. 8:09 I think you should go huntin' with that Winchester and try to nail snorks in the head with it. Or shoot lurkers out of the air with it. Could be some Zone Sportsmanship Challenge potential there!

Tier list s L96A1 AWSM, Remington 700 "Deer Hunter", SVDs, SVDS "Retribution"/PMC,Gauss Rifle(low ammo), SR-25 a DVL-10 Urbana, DVL-10 Sabateur ,L96A1, Remington 700 + vars.,Steyr Scout, SV98, SVD,SVU, VSSK, Mauser 98k, SKS Tactical, Winchester Model 1873 (high dam/no scop/slow reload) b SKS Molot, SVT-40 (no scope) c Karabiner 98k, Mosin-Nagant, SKS

Still can't believe the mk14 hasn't been properly integrated into GAMMA.

The upgraded kar should be B, it has horrendous penetration.

Snipers in Gamma are quite good then, lots of them rated A tier. Nice!

You should've added Gewehr 43 to the list since it will be added to Gamma next patch.

The fully upgraded Mauser 98K (Forester's) with a silencer is easily S tier.

i feel like i would make this list when i play in easyest difficulty

I think you're sleeping on the sks tactical. It's repaired with historical kits, all the parts are shared with the starting sks meaning it's very easy to get one in working condition even without tools, it has a great selection of scopes, good firerate, a large mag size, and it can be upgraded to fire 7.62x54. Meaning you can essentially get a better SVD with just basic tools. It's a fantastic rifle that can get you all the way through the whole map. Its only weaknesses in my eyes are the kind of slow reload speed and the fact that there's no 8x scope with a 45 degree sight kit available for it, meaning you're gonna have to manually change sights in the middle of the fight. Other than that, fantastic weapon.

Winchester deserves S+ tier because of the swag

Anyone find they are doing less damage with snipers overall since the last update?

I think you could use whole list: breaking A tier in half and moving everything down one tier, but its your tier list.

How do you get exos to sprint? I have a nosorog and it there is no sprint upgrade in the upgrade menu?

Hello, guys! Can you help me? How to change magnification on a rifle scope, what do you press? Sorry if its a stupid question

am I blind, or is Barrett M82 no longer in the game?

Dragunov everyday Dragunov all the day

I will say that i was dissapointed with the SKS tactical, its recoil lends poorly to close range reflex optics, making it difficult to place quick and consistent shots in comparison to the SVDS (For example), making it difficult especially against moving targets- the 7.62x39 round is somewhat common and lethal, but ultimatley lacks when fighting monolith and Sin, which i the best test of power you can have for a gun

You missed both of the Barretts.

How can you make it where you manually inspect guns turn off the automatic inspect?

I put all 762x51 guns into B-Tier at best. Cartridge just isn't cost-efficient.

Do a toxic tier list of the stalker discord servers

So much A tiers hurst so much v:

DEER HUNTER GANG

1:22 didn't they remove the L96 from the game so that when you see the AW drop you know you got the "good one" firing .338 Lapua?

Lazy. What is the point in a tier list if you just put everything in A or S tier?

doesn't SR-25 also fit a grenade launcher.

THE BEST STALKER RU-vidR UPLOADED LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO Also how can you have opinions if all you do is spit *straight facts?*

The sks and svt are not not a sniper rifles, the sks is an infantry rifle and the svt is a battle rifle, same with the mosin and mauser 98, they were originally just infantry rifles but over time they took on the "marksman/sniper" role

SVU ♥️

where is the M82 Barret ?

No M24? :c Edit: I know, functionally it's just a AWM, but come on it's cool xD

what about Chimera Hunter?

Hey bro play porject zomvoid or Kenshi bro

make the tier of the scopes. yo cant , all the same :)))

Brother in Christ, the SVT-40 takes the PU Scope. Also it has the added benefit that you always glance over is the fact that it has two aim modes, Scope and Iron sights. I noticed your clear Bias against Dove Mount Russian Scopes which most of them Allow you to also Aim down Iron Sight, which is a Godsend when you are suddenly a Bandit materializes in a Bush infront of you. That's why it baffles me how you give the Scout a A rating and then the Mosin a C. I get that it's a Opinion Piece but atleast take that into consideration.

No VSS ?

my final message change the world make the gauss s tier cause of swagger good bye

Hate revolvers, pump actions, and bolt actions?! The void the matter with you?

Ly

Why is the VSSK suddenly A tier now?

SR-25 and SKS guns are not snipers, they are DMRs which are completely different

buh

Snipers feel very useless in gamma. Usually they all have high recoil and don't kill on bodyshot,forcing you to hit headshots. (At that point why not just use an assault rifle?) And the snipers that are chambered in lower calibers,again, just use an assault rifle at that point. Most sniper rifles are really slow. Even if you prefer to engage an enemy from a long distance,they will still spot you and somehow perfectly retaliate with their assault rifles,so sniping doesnt really make you safe. Most sniper rifles are laughably bad at killing mutants. The only weapon that ignores all the above is the gauss rifle so...yeah. Just use an assault rifle.
