Many ways to get better in sniping, my advice. DO NOT HARDSCOPE Put it in caps because no good sniper player hardscopes every game. Its a big no no. But let's get to the finer details of how to snipe affectively. First sniper mains have so many rules they follow but the biggest one is, only ADS for 2/4 seconds. This gives the sniper player his most important tool, the radar. It also allows us not to get ran up from behind with are pants down are legs. 60/40 screen ratio, if you are using cover (should really be using cover all the time anyways). You should have 40% of your screen showing cover and 60% showing an open lane. This gives you the ability to flip into cover if your getting flinched and shot at. Do not stay in one lane, this limits you and stops you from making any team plays or even get any kills. It also makes it predictable if your only ever in one lane. So what sniper mains usually do to avoid staying in one lane, they use the 2 second rule and constantly move around the map and changing positions. Learn head centering, so if you are prescoping a lane you know an enemy is coming through, you always want your reticle at head level. Note: head level doesn't always mean the same reticle positioning. For example if you know a player loves to slide you need to have your reticle a little lower to allow yourself to hit his head. Don't be a show off!!! When I say this don't try to always do trick shots or rush in fights trying to use your sniper as a shotgun. This will usually lead to a death. Practice in pve. Because us console players don't have the sweet programs for practicing are aim what we do instead is practice in pve, or gambit or even just on random planets. Take at least 30 mins a day to practice getting only headshot kills in pve activities or open areas.
