Fallen The thing is, it's a very popular as well as nice design and sound. The problem with it is, it needed a perk to make it one shot as well as didn't perform well to the other snipers in the top 3. I do think the bionic rifle was a bit new but the top 3 snipers 1 one without help. The perfect dark weapon is aim hacks in a rifle, and the AWP has been around for a lot of gaming's fps launch.
Thats the Sniper Class trailer from Team Fortress 2. Give this free to play game a shot, its still one of the 10 most played games on steam today and also the trailer and also the game itself are just a lot of fun. Just message me back here if you wanna play together lol
grenadeshard I'm not the one that tried to justify this shitty list with comments along the line of "Can't people read the titles?", My point is this shitty list shows neither The Best nor the Most Iconic sniper rifles, therefore it shouldn't be defended or justified since it's just plain wrong.
exactly, the sniper rifles of mass effect trilogy is the best and also very good strategy in multiple players,black widow,javelin,m-98 widow,krysae,and kishock harpoon gun.
+Sebastian Michaelis well when they explain the criteria then yes, iconic does come into play. Otherwise it would be any sniper from any game that can drop somebody in a shot. Plus, Idk if you noticed but there's plenty of rifles on here that should never be on a list of "best" sniper rifles due to lack of power in their respective games.
Tbh I think Widowmaker's rifle from Overwatch is a very good one. I especially like how you can fire it in full auto mode for close range encounters, then scope in for long range targets.
the one in new Vegas was my favorite , nothing like loading up explosive rounds and plucking off deathclaws from afar. but that kind of long range power is sadly gone in 4, only in mods can it reprime that epic bang
How the heck was there no mention of any sniper rifle from Borderlands & Borderlands 2 not make this list. The Cobra from B1 was my favorite Sniper ever. It's just lame that it did not make the list.
I haven't tried out any of the exotic sniper rifles yet. (Except Icebreaker.) However, based on what I've seen, Destiny's sniper rifles are pretty balanced compared to Lyuda from Borderlands 2. Lyuda is disgustingly powerful against most enemies in the game, including DLC enemies & bosses, Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode & Overpower levels.
Nixon020 [CS-GO and Stuff] yup, its pretty easy. Have you seen the other sniper rifles that were listed? You actually have to headshot. And some sniper rifles I know fires a PROJECTILE bullet, which is way harder to ain then a hitscan. Plus, you have to headshot with the projectile bullet. I'm comparing it against other rifles mind you
Nixon020 [CS-GO and Stuff] Also, the tf2 sniper rifle doesnt guarantee a kill even after a headshot. And a bodyshot doesnt deal much damage, only 50 damage (no charge) with many classes having 3* to 6* that health
Callie The Squid But it is simply more memorable for mw2 players than any other game. if you ask an mw2 player to name every gun on the list, they will never miss the intervention.
As an American, the killing of jews is one of the most retarded things in the German history, of which there are many. From now on I will call a white blonde blue eyed guy an Aryan and a jew the cause of our crippling debt and inflation and a japanese guy AN ALLY WHAT THE FUCK GERMAN HISTORY
The Intervention from MW2 (and now IW) as meme like as it is.. you cant deny the reliability and popularity (even though I was more of a M21 EBR man myself). The Gauss Sabot from the Crysis games? When I first used the gun I was blown away by sleek design and monstrous fire-power it provided, it was a gun I would never not use. The heavy sniper from FarCry 4 (cant remember the name), capable of literally 1-Shotting everything in the game. Even the Yetis. Even the Heavy Sniper from GTA V, the ability to pick targets off at extreme distances, like a player in a jet, is both satisfying and rewarding
So... Not a single sniper from Destiny? Icebreaker: Cannot reload but automatically recharges ammo and causes any killed targets to explode Patience and Time: Low-ish damage sniper with barely any recoil and makes the user invisible when aiming with it Black Hammer/Spindle: Automatically reloads 3 bullets to the magazine when 3 critical hits are performed in a row Hereafter: Zooms in and makes aiming easier when crouched. Getting a kill with every bullet in the magazine fully restores all bullets at no cost. Getting a critical kill causes a flash what blinds all nearby enemies. Zen Meteor: Sniper with Explosive Bullets and will reload a high power bullet if a kill is achieved with every bullet. Can be upgraded so the high power bullet causes an explosion with equal damage to that of a rocket launcher. No Land Beyond: A sniper without a scope, old-timey function and yet can compete with snipers like the LDR 5001, has pin-point accuracy and no bullet drop off, despite the lesser appearance and firepower. All of these options and a CROSSBOW makes it on the list!? WatchMojo... You REALLY don't do research. Either that or you're just incredibly biased for no reason...

EpicDestiny Possum ice breaker, black spinkdle, patience and time, no land beyond, hereafter, or queenbreaker's bow? how did none of these make it on this list?
Because Widow's rifle is a lot like the one from team fortress and the biotic one is more original. Also, even though Widowmaker is one of the most iconic characters of overwtach, she's also one of the least played heroes.
Cooker Product Pimpernel's still the best. Only rifle that can match its damage is the lyuda/white death, but u have to be at a specific range. The pimp can hit its sweet spot at any range and requires skill
Ah yes the AWP. The only weapon in all of esports to have a position named after it. This weapon has been painting bloody portraits for over 2 decades. I get goosebumps just thinking about the godly plays that the pros have done with this beautiful sniper rifle.

top 10 times someone eats plain toast on a Tuesday in a video game without the letter "S" in the name. top 10 times someone screams "No" in a video game when it isn't related to someone dying or getting turned into a zombie. top 10 times someone says "we will be fine" in a video game and they actually were fine. come on WM... you guys are slipping.
Any game where "snipers" use quick scoping (or whatever the kids call them now) should be disqualified immediately. The first criterion for being a "best sniper rifle" is that it should be meant for sniping.
No gun is specifically made for quick scoping. They make snipers how they should be used. There may be some guns that are just better for quick scoping, but it doesn't mean it was made for that. Quick scoping is just a skill that's quite useful if the player is good.
With the buff, the Sydney Sleeper is a MUCH better option to the stock. While it doesn't crit on headshots, it can cover a single enemy in Jarate on a scoped bodyshot. When an enemy is headshotted or hit with a fully charged shot, it will cover enemies in a pretty large radius in Jarate, making the Sniper be an extreme support. The best part? Faster charge rate means more enemies pissed on. This turns the Sniper from a single target bruiser to a hybrid. Even though the darts don't crit on headshots, they can take out some classes. If Sniper is against someone like a Demo, Soldier, or Heavy, he can easily fire another shot, or get up close and personal with the SMG, Cleaner's Carbine, or my favorite, the Bushwacka.
No Intervention? It was THE sniper rifle! The one that started the MLG memes. The one that made quickscoping a thing. The one that made snipers popular in multiplayer fps Disappointing
RyanMK666. Yup. The Ballista is the best. I got the golden camo for it in one day. Or im just good with the ballista. And also the MSR is so good. And DSR 50. WHERE WERE THEY?
Not salty. I got into sniping because of the AWP. If its a .50 cal sniper , it should kill from waist up at the very least. Cant stand the games that make snipers only a 1 shot kill to the head.Makes no sense.
you named all the best ones i that i have great memories of using long before number 1 and i couldnt guess that the one i use on a daily basis would be number one since it gets so much hate. i agree with this more than any other 10 ten list you guys have ever done! good top 10 imo
First of all, where is the intervention from MW2? Also the AWP is pronounced "Aw-P" not A-W-P, also every gun in counter Strike games can penetrate through players and walls, not just the AWP
LexWS I love who everyone changed the topic when the could have made their own. I don't think this list is based of damage (haven't finished it yet) witch is probably why widow's isn't on here and when you leave the realm of facts for a list of becomes mostly opinions.
Wow! I am surprised and happy that the Farsight from Perfect Dark is on this list. That is crazy. I did not think anyone would pick that and it was actually number 2.
