Cold War Snipers. The gun you want, but the killers you hate.


Want to become the sniper the players hate, try these top 5 sniper rifles and be the big dog. 

Snipers are what people absolutely hate to be killed by, but love using. Its ability to kill in one shot will make you want to learn how to handle the high skilled weapon. Though it has amazing protentional for the one-shot kills, it has its turn-offs as well.

The bullet capacity and speed alone could make you turn your back on it. With a little makeover, you can have a gun with speed and fire rate that will help you get on that kill cam.

5. ZRG

Video owned by Obey KaiH. You do not want to miss this video on the ZRG.

It’s a good gun within the sniper list. It placed last for its low fire rate. Making it so easy for others to kill you before your bullet even touches the air. It does have great bullet velocity.

If you shoot your opponent from the knees up, you will still have a great chance of getting the one-shot kill. It's best to use this gun to shoot straight down or stay back, aiming, and making shots from across the map.

If you miss and your opponent spots you, you will be killed before your gun gets a chance to aim and process what’s going on. This is a great gun to use with attachments helping the rate of fire and increasing your ads.

Here is a list of attachments to use for your ZRG.
Barrel: 39.9 Rapid Fire to increase the fire rate due to the lack of fire rate the gun provides.
Body: Tiger team spotlight will help you reveal your opponents and put a lovely red dot above their heads for a better aim.
Magazine: 5 RND to increase the number of bullets because you only get 3 in base form.
Handle: Serpent Wrap to increase the ADS.
Stock: CBQ will increase your sprint to fire time.

What makes ZRG great:
● One-shot kill
● Bullet velocity
● Aim
● Accuracy

4. Barret M82

Video owned by Zelta, go ahead and try out this weapon.

A gun anyone should try whether you are new to snipers or not. Though I think it’s more suited to zombies rather than multiplayer because of the higher fire rate.

M82 has a lot of potential due to its ability to give you that one-shot kills snipers love so much. The ADS is a bit low, but not low to the point where it feels lacking. You can rise your ADS with some of the attachments.

The gun is more suited to higher-skilled players. If you are playing it for the fun of it and want to try it out, I would say go for it. The gun gives great kill count and headshots when playing under zombies.

Here is a list of attachments for Barret M82.

Optic: Axial arms 3x to be able to hit more enemies.

Barrel: 22.6 Tiger Team for damage, fire rate, and bullet velocity increase.

Body: Tiger Team Spotlight to give a red spot above the enemies’ heads for better aim and accuracy.

Magazine: Since Barrel reduces the mag count using 7 Rnd or fast mag, brings that back up to a reasonable amount.

Handle: Serpent Wrap to increase the ads speed.

What Barret M82 great:
● One-shot kill
● Kill Count
● Accuracy
● Attachments

3. Pellington 703
 

This gun is the quickest among all the snipers. Personally, using this within zombies has become one of my favorite guns once getting used to it. Has amazing aim down sight time.

This sniper allows for great accuracy and though you should try to shoot above the chest if you don’t you will still get a great kill. It does have a slow reload time and it makes the gun frustrating to use when you are trying to get killstreaks.

You can reload one bullet at a time. Which can either be a blessing or a curse depending on the gamer you are. Being able to load one at a time means you can shoot after just one bullet is loaded. Though in my opinion, it creates a stressful experience just trying to keep up with the reload time itself.

The list below is some attachments to use for Pellington 703.
Barrel: Tiger Team 26.5 to increase the damage, fire rate, bullet velocity and reload speed.

Body: Steady Aim Laser or Tiger Team Spotlight for quick scoping and increase in hip accuracy.

Handle: Serpents Wrap for the aim down sight time increase

Magazine: 7 Rnd to increase your mag from 4 to 6

Stock: Marathon Pad to increase your sprint to fire time.

What makes Pellington great:
● Reload one at a time
● Accuracy
● Aim downtime
● One-shot kill

2. Tundra

Video owned by Obey Kiah. They do not play around while using this Sniper.

This is personally the sniper to use in my opinion. Tundra your way through the field of SMGs. It has great one-shot kill ability and you don’t have to worry as much about the aim and accuracy.

The reload in this weapon is beautiful, it is much better and faster than the other snipers. It does lack in the fire rate and aims down speed. Which is the reason this sniper hit number 2 and not number 1.

If you shoot your opponent from the waist up, you will be able to get that one-shot kill. It punches back much harder than its opponent Pellington 703. Because it’s able to be a one-shot kill to head and chest as well as shoulders.

Here is a list of attachments for Tundra.
Barrel: Tiger Team for damage, fire rate, and bullet velocity increase.

Underbarrel: Infiltrator Grip to increase movement, shooting move, and aim walking movement speed.

Handle: Serpent Wrap to increase the aim down sight time. This will give you the maximum amount of speed.

Magazine: 7 Rnd to increase your mag capacity because it is low like any sniper may be.

Stock: Marathon Pad for the sprint to fire time we lost when using the magazine.

Muzzle: Stabilizer .208 for the increase in idle sway control

What makes Tundra great:
● One-shot kill
● Reload
● Accuracy
● Handling
● Aim

1. SWISS K 31

Video owned by Zephy. This weapon is number one for a reason. 

A gun I am new to but can already tell is much better than the other snipers available within this class. It’s one of the quickest snipers within the class and has the second-fastest fire rate and bullet velocity. Can we really complain about that for a sniper?

Though you should try to aim from the chest above, it has great accuracy. It reloads is a bit slower than the others, but with some attachments, tender love, and care, you can get the speed you need.

It is highly skilled, so I would start with the ZRG and Pellington before moving on to this beauty. The ADS is great already at the base form and will become a sniper you see all over multiplayer, killing you before your gun even makes it in your hand.

Here is a list of attachments to use for SWISS K 31.

Muzzle: Sound Moderator for the aim down sight speed, bullet velocity, and sprint to fire speed increase.

Barrel: 24.9 Extended for higher bullet velocity.

Body: Steady Aim Laser for the aim down sight speed increase

Handle: Speed Tape to increase your aim down sight speed even more.

Stock: Wire Stock to increase your sprint to fire time

What makes SWISS K 31 great:
● ADS
● Accuracy
● Fire rate
● Bullet velocity
● One-shot kill
● Attachments
