I like it however It needs a tiny bit of work to be fair. I feel like the glint should only happen if A) the target is looking in your direction, B) if obstructed by smoke leafs or other debris hide the effect. Until then it’s just a stupid gimmick.
I think glint is fine. It needs obviously need to stop shining through objects. It's maybe a little bit too bright. We can imagine a game mechanic where intensity of the glint changes depending of the range. Like very low glint for close range (~20m max), bright glint for normal ranges, and slightly lower glint for insane ranges (+1000m). It doesn't make sense when someone sitting at 1300m shines brighter than a lighthouse.
I think how intense the glint is should depend on size of the scope, and distance. So if you are using a high zoom up close it's very apparent but if you're 1000 meters away with a 20x you need to pay a lot more attention to notice it. I think it's a fair middle ground. You shouldn't be so easily spotted a couple hundred meters away just because you have 2x more zoom than your average sight you'd see on an assault rifle.
Intensity and angle from target too perhaps. Perhaps at 6x basically the person you're aiming at sees the glint. Would have to see how it plays for everyone though
I.. agree that having no scope glint is nice, especially at closer ranges. I disagree with the (implied) claim that using long range scopes is categorically wrong. I've been having the time of my life counter-sniping with the 15x up to 1200 meters, occasionally pulling out the 20x if I have to push past that range. I have binoculars to spot targets, and if I get spotted in return, I can reposition. The worst thing someone can do is sit still, or come back to the same spot again and again. They may be able to get kills from that position, they may have the aim necessary, but they definitely don't have the mindset. In regards to scope glint, while I dislike it, I think it's a necessary balancing tool. Helps the blind find me and return fire if I don't nail them in the first shot or two. Besides, it puts the fear of God in any players attempting to cross open terrain without smoke.
Yeah idc how far I am I’m gonna mount my 249 and take burst and we’ll placed shots at any glint I see most aren’t brace enough to keep aiming at me I will put the most high def optic just to do that
Work smarter, not harder as they say. Sure, you can go with no scope glint and figure out how to fight that way, you can also learn how to play differently to account for scope glint. Not everyone can be Simo Hayha (I'm aware he used irons, but it's the closest comparison.) but not everyone needs to be Simo Hayha to do well and may be making it harder on themselves trying to be them.
That last point about scope glint discouraging players from running in the open should be what snipers are for from a gameplay perspective. Scope glint is good and only fair as nothing else in the game can one shot. And only one or two guns can two shot in rare circumstances
I'm a sniper main w/ a medium scope but I'll admit that it's cracked. Takes some skill to aim, and I mostly go after other snipers, but it's still very exploitable. Honestly, after SMGs, I think this should be nerfed somehow
MASSIVE DISAGREE, snipers are the reason I don't play large FPS games in general but the scope glint has made dealing with it tolerable. Scope glint is literally the best idea in the game and reducing it would give me a stroke.
Scope glint is awful. At least the way it's implemented now. As someone previously said, at least dont make it glaringly obvious when someone isn't even looking anywhere near you. And as far as the other guy, 1 hit kill snipers are a viable option, especially when they're playing the objective, in games like arma koth, 2km+ kills overlooking an objective is satisfying.
I suppose a good fix would be to make the scope sparkle briefly only once when you first look in their direction or when they initially zoom in on you. The goal should be to notify you, not to place an "arrow" over the sniper.
Depends on your playstyle. If you're constantly repositioning after every few kills, or using the glint to purposefully lock down a sightline, then the long range scopes are fine. If you play closer and would prefer to not alert snipers when you're countersniping, then medium scopes are preferred. Although I will admit that scope glint is a bit much at the moment. The glint goes through various objects (even walls sometimes), and if you shoot for the center of the glint you're more or less going to score a headshot.
I've always used around an 8x for snipers in battlefield games for years. I'm well aware of my scope glint which is why I won't ADS until I'm actually ready to take the shot. This minimizes the time the time people have to spot my glint.
Another awesome thing about the midrange scopes is, you don‘t get any breathing sway! Obviously, you can hold your breath with the LR scopes, but it is just so much easier and nicer not having it at all… At least thats my humble opinion.
While I like the 4x and under scopes, I prefer the 15x because I usually snipe people ~800m+ out; DEFINITELY where I get the most enjoyment out of the game. I hope they change glint through the foliage/objects soon though - basically a “one-way smoke” where long range snipers don’t have a chance
@@bjonky4723 Yes, correct - you play the sweaty version of the game while I enjoy my time strolling through the daffodil and peony fields in the back of the map, giddy every time I hit a 1000m+ snipe. I'm happy with the game I play lol
Also make sure you are using the normal chest armor for the extra ammo. I changed the zero increase/decrease to the mouse wheel (without alt) and it helped so much. I removed the change scope keybind from that. Remember that zero point reset after every life
As a recon main, i LOVE the scope glint. It doesn't take much to unlock a medium scope, and for anything under 700m, it's a no brainer. You already know long range scopes trade stealth for zoom, and you already know that anyone can zero their rifle to 1000m, so just stop being stupid. If you're gonna use a long range scope, be smart and get VERY far away or get counter sniped. This comment was made by medium scope gang.
This is what I used to do on Groundwar in Cod. Can take a little getting used to but taking away the glare is huge and most enemy snipers aren't looking for you. Great vid!
Yeah I discovered the I4 scope yesterday when someone told me the 4x didnt have sniper glint. Started POPPING OFF killing the whole team from the top of the statue in Frugis, then got two 1300+m headshots on targets in a helicopter on Sandy Sunset. It can do it all
Would love to see more battlebit vids. Sniping is so fun in this game and would love to see your favorite load outs once you unlock stuff. I personally think the l96 is actually better than the m200 because the m200 has such slow movement speed
@@Slick6464 true velocity is insane on it. I like playing more aggro with l96 and you get slightly less velocity than m200. But i'm curious to hear stods thoughts
My favorite is the Remington 700, every time I use it the kills start pouring in, it just feels so smooth and good to shoot. Not sure what it is I haven't compared the stats of the sniper rifles.
Agree for medium-range snipes using long range. But for anything over 700 meters, actually long range, glint is a little broken. But at that point, when I snipe people like that, my opponents are also sniping over 700 meters. So idc
Little tip from a long time sniper, when going long range use the recon drone and fly it up high to spot stationary snipers from above. Always try to position yourself 2+ Meters back shooting through the smallest hole you can make, if you can't make this sniper nest shoot twice then move position and always change if a sniper is looking at you. use a bipod only if you are laying on the ground peaking through this small hole. Anything else, use the stubby. Finally, use your canted sight to aim at your target before switching to your main scope. I can switching optic bound to a thumb button so I always have quick access to the trigger. It goes like this; switch to canted > peak and aim > swap to main scope > fine adjustments > fire > swap to canted. Whole thing means I have less than 200ms scope glint
The scope glint is a bit too much right now. It works sort of at much longer ranges but around 300m sniping with long range scopes just doesn't make sense for me. You just aim and are instantly spotted. I'm assuming there is a 'cone' in front of the scope and everyone in it can see your glint (i.e someone close below you while your on a roof wouldn't see the glint or someone to your side. Maybe reducing the size of this imaginary cone, the brightness and making it so it doesn't show through some objects would be a good change.
Bro you’re damn good man lol. I’m loving watching this game blow up the way it has. It deserves nothing but praise. It’s like the devs were beaten down by 2042 like I was and they said “Fuck it, we’ll do it ourselves.”
Bullet drop in this game is an illusion. When you die and click report player, you can spectate them, and see every player's ray casts. You can even freecam to pretty much cheat for your teammates. The only reason you gotta aim above a player's head is because of some cheap trickery involving the scope / gun sway. If you're gonna use a small range scope, you might as well set your FOV low like 60, give you better accuracy.
I’ve always said this for any game with snipers and scope glint. They need to make a kill flash an accessory. Make it where you have to choose between a bipod, straight bolt, or a killflash. For those who don’t know what a kill flash is, it’s the honeycomb cover you see on the end of scopes
@OctoberSkys yeah they give a lot of leeway. If you shoot a wall you can see where to aim with the scope. Technically want to use the tip in this game.
@@kiro-fo9qgA semi-auto one shot DMR might be too OP without huge recoil like the mk20 has or at least a huge mobility debuff that makes positioning important.
@@kiro-fo9qg would not expect that, unless they implement some kind of limited supply pickup weapons, same as battlefield, but i would like to see some other high powered rifles, like the menstioned M98B, or M95
@@bulletghost3452 would u say the mk20 is a better dmr than the mk14? Not really used them but I've enjoyed popping snipers in the skull with the latter I just unlocked
This is how I've been sniping ever since I unlocked the L96. I use the long silencer too so I can get deep into enemy lines without being heard. Works like a charm, hit 700 meter + headshots with ease, just aim at the sniper glint and zero the scope using a 3.4x of your own
I don’t mind the glint. Snipers should be shooting and repositioning anyways not standing still hardscoping. From a balancing standpoint, I think it’s benificial as well playing as assault the glint warns you that a sniper may have eyes on you or where you are moving to. It’s kind of intimidating moving through a field with no cover and you see that glint in the distance. Snipers would be OP without it.
I've played about 55 hours of Battlebit so far exclusively as Recon - Here are some tips about sniping for new players and some thoughts about the current "balance" for recons. 1. Use a medium-range scope as Stodeh says. - Scope glint on long-range scopes is extremely obviously. On PC especially, people will laser you with normal rifles (AK, M4, SCAR, etc) by spraying in your general direction and since BBR has such a short TTK, you'll die A LOT from people just seeing the glint, spraying in your direction and getting a lucky headshot and random body hit. I believe the scope glint at the moment is extremely unbalanced as it makes sniping from any distance beyond a couple hundred meters extremely difficult on moving targets. 2. BUILD, BUILD, BUILD cover - for those that are still new, when you score squad points or your squad does, you can build sandbags/concrete barriers around your position. Use this to your advantage. If you have a sniping spot that's great but on one or more sides, there's no cover, hold down middle-mouse and click to build fortifications and place walls blocking your unguarded sides. You can also use this feature to your advantage to create your own sniping spots by building sandbags, etc on top of one another to put you higher into the air. Extremely useful for maps that are flat with very bad sniping like tensatown or others with almost no snipings spots (that aren't completely obvious) 3. Use rally points for your squad - Same concept, squad points can be used to build rally points so that your squad can spawn on them virtually anywhere. As recons, we travel to good vantage points away from objectives and in secluded areas where we won't be shot or spotted easily. Use what you are already doing to create spawn points for your squad to take objectives and take the enemy team by surprise by constantly spawning on top of them even if they have the objective captured. - on the flipside, if you need a spawn point for just yourself, you can take a quad and park it anywhere inside your team's safe zone (where you're still capable of shooting) and it will allow you to spawn on it as much as you want. You can use it as a mobile spawn point and enemies won't even notice it because it's a vehicle, not a rally point/spawn beacon. Anyway, as far as balance, I honestly really dislike how recon is done in Battlebit. I feel like the devs really tried to disincentivize long-range sniping to the point that it's barely viable without getting killed every 1-2 minutes. You also have no way to hold a good sniping spot once you die unless your teammates or a rally point are close by. You could spend 15+ minutes getting to a good sniping spot, only to get unlucky and have a guy halfway across the map see you, spray a rifle 300+ meters, kill you, then you have to make your way all the way back. Use your squadmates, rally points and vehicles to your advantage to minimize this but you'll still be walking a majority of the time. Secondly, the fact that most maps have such an intense "fog of war" that you can't see beyond about 300 meters really kills the sniping on those maps. Some don't have it that bad, but many do and many there are not even any high spots to get kills as a recon. You'll be constantly fighting for a tiny rooftop with bad visibility that is constantly targeted because it's the only spot on the entire map that has any visibility for sniping good angles. On maps that have very bad visibility and no sniping, use building to try and create your own sniping spot above trees, etc to get better angles than the crappy map buildings. Lastly, the recon having no good pistols until around level 80 sucks, so you'll be using the default MP443 the most. If you can, run a suppressor and red dot, makes it easier to kill people and stay hidden in CQB when you have to, but try to avoid getting into any gunfights where you can't use your rifle. As a recon, you're going to die a lot. A lot a lot. So try your best to stay hidden. Your armor typically sucks compared to everyone else so the best way to win a fight is to not be in it in the first place and stay as far away from people as possible (which is why the recon balancing frustrates me to no end) - You make a weak class designed for long-range engagement and do everything in your power with balance to force them to have to fight/snipe within 200 meters and with their best equipment, they're so glaringly visible and obvious and die so quickly that it makes it impossible to really do effectively. I'm hoping someday recons can get a personal spawn beacon (that works like BF3/BF4 spawn beacon for only the recon themselves) as well as a less obvious scope glint or attachments that reduce the scope glint. Some of these maps are so large, yet it's so easy to spot people 500+m because of the scope glint. The glint should only be visible when using ADS imho and only when you're looking in the direction of the sniper's scope. But, instead the devs descided to make long-range scopes small spotlights to the entire map that shows literally everyone where you are. The game was initially designed to be a more-casual sim-style game. When snipers/recons have to constantly move and can't even snipe from 300+m because of a constant barrage of bullets, it's almost completely pointless to even try on most maps because the higher sniping spots are apparent to everyone. I get people don't want to be dominated by snipers but that's why the enemy team also has them - recons counter other recons. Nerfing recons for everyone by making them have a massive marker on the screen through objects and at stupid angles makes recon possibly the worst class to play (unless you only use medium-range optics) which really nerfs the range recons can utilize. I think within the next year or two, Battlebit will have a lot of things rebalanced and working better. I'd also prefer a kill-cam similar to Battlefield rather than the ragdoll that they have now where you just kind of sit dead on the ground until you're picked back up. This would also help with spotting pesky recons that are in cheesy spots and also help find people exploiting collision on maps in spots that should be impossible to reach.
I found a lot of success using medium range scopes at up to around 800 m max. Anything beyond that a proper scope is needed. Once you get beyond 1000 m, it doesn't matter if snipers can see you because you can dodge most incoming fire and counter snipers will need to figure out their zero at odd ranges at that point. I went 55 and 2 in one match with all kills over 1000 m. As long as you are in a good spot and know your zeroes it's really not that hard nor impressive. Though you will mostly be only shooting other snipers going after closer range targets because they are the only ones staying still long enough.
When modern day gamers realize they don't need high graphics and such, but prefer smooth gameplay with all sorts of features and destruction. I'm 51 yr old school gamer. Don't play anymore due to all the cheats, and game issues.
I think glints should only show up if you look at the direction of the sniper aiming in, just fix the glare through objects and add a smaller one for the smaller scopes, maybe a scaling from small scope to big
I'm so addicted to sniping in this game, it's soooo satisfying! I've been running the suppressor on the SV98 though since I find it way easier to go unnoticed when I'm doing a little aggressive recon behind enemy lines
My biggest pet peeve is dying and on the map screen is a respawn beacon at the edge of the map with the one living squad mate who is camping there sniping. Don’t be a useless sniper! All my high kill count games have been when I’m sniping cuz I play the objectives! Get in the fight ffs.
since your last video (talking about the sniper glint) i changed my scope to the acog. and i also put on the short suppressor and C auto-rechamber with 20bullet mags. i dislike the other medium scopes because they lack the zeroing bar that most (if not all) sniper scopes have, and i use it extensively. thx for the tips last video, and pls continue making such awesome content
you could always just hold alt and scroll wheel to your desired range zero and click on people's skulls from 800 meters... but if you're having fun guessing how high to hold don't let me knock your fun.
Well-done video. Nice and to the point without overexplaining every detail and making it too wordy, then onto straight gameplay. Now I just have to deal with the gamechat complaining about snipers 😂
The SV is the best with just the medium range scopes. Thanks to the high velocity you can get some insane shots. Its kinda of a a nuisance to hit someone over 1,000 meters but possible once you get used to the scope you are using. I haven't tried the other snipers yet since I haven't unlocked them but when I do I see how well that goes.
i used a similar method in battlefield 1. i would use the martini henry because it only had the iron sight and i would just shoot at glints and get kills. i would also shoot at enemies that were spotted and usually get them too
I'm awful at this game and have been running iron sights bolt action out of pure bloody stubbborness. I die constantly, rarely get kills, but when you iron sights someone from far far away or get that sneaky kill on a sniper looking for scope glints it feels so good.
1:50 you don't even need to aim above the head if you zero your sights (default is while using ADS, hold Alt and use mousewheel to adjust the zero). having a rangefinder really helps.
Cod 4 introduced me to the ACOG type scopes and I’ve never looked back. Aside from better visibility down range using variable or long range scopes gives too much away.
There is no notification when unlocking a new bolt, learned that the hard way. Just check it periodically. Also, I don't think a sniper gets scared of another sniper without a glint. They have a high-power scope, so they can see us either way, unless they're behind a tree or fabric. We 4x snipers can't see shit at 800m+. Gotta Flex Tape my eyes to the screen.
I really like the scope glint as someone who doesn't play Sniper, since it feels like enemy snipers actually have a presence that I can easily look out for without feeling like I just got instakilled from nowhere. It also encourages snipers VS snipers combat much more so it feels like a side that is playing well gets range superiority that they deserve.
Only time to use a long range scope is 40x scope at 1300+ meters. Got one at 1378 with the default sniper, 40x scope, bipod, ranger, straight pull. I only do that on conquest. Otherwise I run pretty much what you got. I've tried out the FLIR scope too. Only enemies glow white, so it works great for night maps, Even day maps work fine, it doesn't look any brighter, and goes right through smoke.
if you want to play aggressive and quick scope people point blank the 6x is still better. it scopes in quicker and is more level when scoping in. seems im the only one sniping like that though so 4x might be better for you guys :)
The actual difference here tho is that your enemies barely move and never shoot at you, contrary to my gameplay where as soon as I even barely show myself, half the enemy team will have started to shoot at me and parkouring like its assassins creed
Scope glint needs fixing. Ways to fix it: 1. Glint only appears when you are over 500m away and they are looking close to where you are at. Then it'll encourage sniper vs sniper fights and mean players will have to look/listen for gun shots to locate a concealed sniper. 2. Glint only appears when the hold breath button is held down. 3. All scopes have a small glint that can appear when aiming at someone - if you are aiming down sights and your crosshair goes on them and you are on their screen, they see the glint. 4. Have a scope attachment (like a lense cover) that blocks off a big chunk of the scopes view (think looking through a slit) but reduces the glint. Also, no zoom/adjustible scopes? The top scopes should have different distance settings or at least give us the option to put the scopes on either attachment point.
I switched to that mid range scope you were using at video start as soon as I got it. Unless you want to go try for extreme long distance headers... Mid range is the way
@@maj_pr0blems It depends for me, I landed 3 1.7km shots on other snipers with mid range today because they're easy to spot with scope glint, otherwise I land 1km - 1.2km consistently since SV can zero to 1km, I understand that it's hard to land those shots with SSG though if you're using that
Someone in my team's squad wouldn't stop complaining about the scope glint in VOIP, even taking to the [ALL] chat to try and rally support for his campaign against the realism of their being sniper glint at night. Meanwhile, I'm being sprayed with a vector from two sides while prone after reviving and healing 10+ teammates. So far I love the snipers and think it balances gameplay but I would hate to not be able to detect ANY snipers so I hope most snipers miss this advice and continue blinding me from a distance for easy spotting.
Suggestion if you really just can't drop the long range scope: put a canted red dot on, line up approximately where your target is, AND THEN ADS. That way your glint isn't up for very long.
I suck at sniping and I think snipers are annoying but even so I think they need to take another look at scope glint. It's way too bright, and obviously the shining through objects needs to be fixed. I think for a game like Battlebit having glint isn't a problem, but it does clearly need a few balance passes.
I heard somewhere that you have to re-zero your range before every shot. Is this true? Also, how long does it take to unlock the attachments you mentioned in the video?
It's a common IRL sniper thing that after a shot or if you are really lucky two, you are compromised so you have to move. The whole idea of camping just doesn't happen in real life. And I think the sniper glint in the game emulates that. However the second you zoom in you get instantly shot from across the map by the whole army makes it also kinda irritating to do. A medium range scope should not be the solution making long range scope irrelevant. I think I would balance it more with see the glint drop off at a certain angle. Creating a tight cone for peering through your scope but greatly increases the angle when shooting. So you only see the glint if the sniper is almost on you but shows the position of the sniper to a larger area when he is actually firing opening them up for counters.
Considering the size of the battles, and the maps with a plethora of cover to work with, I personally think the scope glint mechanic shouldn't exist. We already have tracers on every round, so it's not hard to spot snipers when you're looking for them; but I think it's ridiculous for a rifle to have what is essentially a high-powered flashlight mounted on the top.
Scope-glints need to: Have the angle at which they appear reduced. Its so unfair for snipers to be spotted by enemies they're not even aiming close to. It's also the biggest deterrent for playing snipers in their intended way. Also, the "scope-glint robot" thingy, no one falls for that anymore. It's way too predictable, and should have randomized on/off timing and random duration of scope-glinting. I also wouldn't mind adding tracer/air distortion lines to the bullets fired from snipers (like in Valorant? I've never played it but from what I can see there's like an air distortion behind your bullets? Or like Widomaker and Ana in Overwatch, when firing scoped in).
I think there needs to be a scope attachment that minimizes scope glare. My buddy in the military told me they were taught to cut a slit in their scope cover. Might be a good idea
Me personally hate scope glint not because I snipe sometimes but it’s just ridiculous how obvious it is, kills the element of being stealthy and unexpected. Snipers are hated by the gaming community as a whole and devs just make it so it’s even harder on snipers. Maybe remove it and give classes like thermal binos so it adds an element of counter sniping. Hell there’s already a “death cam” which literally points you in the direction of where you died.
The glint is good to have but they should make it not shine brighter than the goddamn sun. On that note when you get a night map slap on that high power scope because there is no glint during night, also use a suppressor or flash hider to eliminate muzzle flash aswell as that is a rather noticeable during night.
I REALLLY wish that TH-camrs didn’t all jump on the bandwagon to tell everyone to start using medium range scopes, let everyone just find out on their own. But I get it I respect the video purely because I know it’s Tailored to an audience, still a great vid and ima watch the whole thing.
I always felt that scope glint should only be visible when the sun is at the correct angle for realisms sake. I know it’s a good balancing system I just think it’d be more interesting to actually be a stealthy sniper that way. Like in Arma 3 there’s no glint and it plays just as well.
You match what the rangefinder says. You can always not zero your scope and compensate the bullet drop naturally, anyway, you need to do it for >500m since zeroing only goes to 500m
Stodeh, thanks for the tip, I enjoy sniping with mid range scope, the difference of the gameplay is huge. I would have a question: Why do you start with 7 mags, while I start with 3. Is it a content creator advantage or how?
They need to make it so the glint doesnt go through obstacles, only when they are looking within a certain degree of you, and so they dont appear if you are in shade/indoors. Otherwise its like you have a spotlight attached to the front of your rifle that says "Shoot me!" Either that or an attachment for your scope known as a kill flash that eliminates scope glint irl. Whoever came up with the idea of scope glint doesnt know how they really work irl
Alright!! Hear me out. It would be pretty cool if they could add in a feature to do with the sun. Don’t really know what you would call it. But like rather than removing glint add a feature that reacts with the sun. So if the sun is setting like it is on the map at 8:17 in the video; and you are aiming from east to west, you get glint due to reflection. Same situation however you are aiming from west to east no reflection. Would add another element of awareness into your positioning in the map. Sounds totally broken right? Well what if they then add an attachment to the scopes where you can hide the glint on the optics however your field of view is narrowed looking down the scope. Just feel like a game like this could achieve this kind of mechanic. What are our thoughts?
I find it funny how Stodeh is just sniping people whilst on a building while the rest of the team is getting bombed and attacked and he just doesn’t even look at it😂😂😂
My biggest question is how do people build multilevel forts out of the basic sandbags. I have yet to see any video covering that. It's very useful when you're camped out shooting across the map and you can pull off some cheeky angles while standing straight up but being completely covered on all sides. I've only had 1 squad mate who knew how. I've been trying but the build system is so wonky. If you know please tell us! Also, very sick shots! My proudest moment in this game so far is a 711m shot on a moving target with a no glint scope. Also shot a couple dudes out of Humvees which is so satisfying lol
I’d love to see a video on how you dial in your sensitivity in this game. I’ve used mouse-sensitivity’s website to convert my sense from other games, but my ADS sense feels super off still, not sure what I’m missing. I also think sniper glints should stay, as it would be kinda frustrating playing in 256 player lobbies without them IMO. Maybe the lower zoom sniper scopes could use some balancing along those lines?
Do you like the SCOPE GLINT in BattleBit?
Maybe
I like it however It needs a tiny bit of work to be fair. I feel like the glint should only happen if A) the target is looking in your direction, B) if obstructed by smoke leafs or other debris hide the effect. Until then it’s just a stupid gimmick.
An unfortunate necessity to prevent snipers from being heinously dominant imo, could do with a bit of tweaking tho
pros : it make sniper balance.
cons : sniper main hate it.
I think glint is fine.
It needs obviously need to stop shining through objects. It's maybe a little bit too bright.
We can imagine a game mechanic where intensity of the glint changes depending of the range.
Like very low glint for close range (~20m max), bright glint for normal ranges, and slightly lower glint for insane ranges (+1000m).
It doesn't make sense when someone sitting at 1300m shines brighter than a lighthouse.
"You can easily hit moving targets at almost any range" Stodeh you are vastly overestimating my abilities.
I think the point he's trying to make is that since the lower zoom scopes give you a wider angle view, it's easier to hit fast moving targets.
Same
@@Crow_Whiskeylower zooms have always been the strat
Here I am celebrating hitting a moving target like it's the first kill of life. Mainly because I can't aim for shet.
I'm happy if I can hit moving targets with my LMG
I've only done a little sniping so far, but the headshots on them are so satisfying man. I love seeing the range too!
stonemountain make a video on battlebit
Fr
As for collaterals, I believe Stonemountain64 got one the other day.
I think how intense the glint is should depend on size of the scope, and distance. So if you are using a high zoom up close it's very apparent but if you're 1000 meters away with a 20x you need to pay a lot more attention to notice it. I think it's a fair middle ground.
You shouldn't be so easily spotted a couple hundred meters away just because you have 2x more zoom than your average sight you'd see on an assault rifle.
Agreed, basically how the most recent CoD handled it as well. But It need to be a bit better than that.
@@KevinBYee CoD did it only by scope type. I'm saying do it by distance as well.
2 over 4x is a 50% increase. That's a lot bigger than the number suggests.
Intensity and angle from target too perhaps. Perhaps at 6x basically the person you're aiming at sees the glint. Would have to see how it plays for everyone though
You should be able to spot them easily, snipers are annoying anyways so give the people with normal guns a chance to spot them easily and shoot back
I.. agree that having no scope glint is nice, especially at closer ranges. I disagree with the (implied) claim that using long range scopes is categorically wrong. I've been having the time of my life counter-sniping with the 15x up to 1200 meters, occasionally pulling out the 20x if I have to push past that range. I have binoculars to spot targets, and if I get spotted in return, I can reposition. The worst thing someone can do is sit still, or come back to the same spot again and again. They may be able to get kills from that position, they may have the aim necessary, but they definitely don't have the mindset. In regards to scope glint, while I dislike it, I think it's a necessary balancing tool. Helps the blind find me and return fire if I don't nail them in the first shot or two. Besides, it puts the fear of God in any players attempting to cross open terrain without smoke.
Yeah idc how far I am I’m gonna mount my 249 and take burst and we’ll placed shots at any glint I see most aren’t brace enough to keep aiming at me I will put the most high def optic just to do that
Work smarter, not harder as they say. Sure, you can go with no scope glint and figure out how to fight that way, you can also learn how to play differently to account for scope glint.
Not everyone can be Simo Hayha (I'm aware he used irons, but it's the closest comparison.) but not everyone needs to be Simo Hayha to do well and may be making it harder on themselves trying to be them.
Keep using glint, perfect for my ak15
That last point about scope glint discouraging players from running in the open should be what snipers are for from a gameplay perspective. Scope glint is good and only fair as nothing else in the game can one shot. And only one or two guns can two shot in rare circumstances
I'm a sniper main w/ a medium scope but I'll admit that it's cracked. Takes some skill to aim, and I mostly go after other snipers, but it's still very exploitable. Honestly, after SMGs, I think this should be nerfed somehow
Scope glint is a good idea but the glint should be slightly smaller and it should not shine through foliage.
and if you aren't even close to where they are aiming you shouldn't see the glint.
Not through smoke or fog either that doesn't make too much sense
MASSIVE DISAGREE, snipers are the reason I don't play large FPS games in general but the scope glint has made dealing with it tolerable. Scope glint is literally the best idea in the game and reducing it would give me a stroke.
Scope glint is good. So many shooter games get dominated by 1-hit kill snipers. And it ruins gameplay
Scope glint is awful. At least the way it's implemented now. As someone previously said, at least dont make it glaringly obvious when someone isn't even looking anywhere near you. And as far as the other guy, 1 hit kill snipers are a viable option, especially when they're playing the objective, in games like arma koth, 2km+ kills overlooking an objective is satisfying.
I suppose a good fix would be to make the scope sparkle briefly only once when you first look in their direction or when they initially zoom in on you.
The goal should be to notify you, not to place an "arrow" over the sniper.
Depends on your playstyle. If you're constantly repositioning after every few kills, or using the glint to purposefully lock down a sightline, then the long range scopes are fine. If you play closer and would prefer to not alert snipers when you're countersniping, then medium scopes are preferred.
Although I will admit that scope glint is a bit much at the moment. The glint goes through various objects (even walls sometimes), and if you shoot for the center of the glint you're more or less going to score a headshot.
I've always used around an 8x for snipers in battlefield games for years. I'm well aware of my scope glint which is why I won't ADS until I'm actually ready to take the shot. This minimizes the time the time people have to spot my glint.
Another awesome thing about the midrange scopes is, you don‘t get any breathing sway! Obviously, you can hold your breath with the LR scopes, but it is just so much easier and nicer not having it at all… At least thats my humble opinion.
I've been holding shift with a midrange scope for 15 hours💀
While I like the 4x and under scopes, I prefer the 15x because I usually snipe people ~800m+ out; DEFINITELY where I get the most enjoyment out of the game.
I hope they change glint through the foliage/objects soon though - basically a “one-way smoke” where long range snipers don’t have a chance
Based long range enjoyer 😌🙏🏻
bro. We aren't even playing the same game, you literally do nothing and just click while your team actually does work
@@bjonky4723 Yes, correct - you play the sweaty version of the game while I enjoy my time strolling through the daffodil and peony fields in the back of the map, giddy every time I hit a 1000m+ snipe. I'm happy with the game I play lol
This guy plays point and click adventure games fr
Also make sure you are using the normal chest armor for the extra ammo. I changed the zero increase/decrease to the mouse wheel (without alt) and it helped so much. I removed the change scope keybind from that. Remember that zero point reset after every life
As a recon main, i LOVE the scope glint. It doesn't take much to unlock a medium scope, and for anything under 700m, it's a no brainer. You already know long range scopes trade stealth for zoom, and you already know that anyone can zero their rifle to 1000m, so just stop being stupid. If you're gonna use a long range scope, be smart and get VERY far away or get counter sniped. This comment was made by medium scope gang.
This is what I used to do on Groundwar in Cod. Can take a little getting used to but taking away the glare is huge and most enemy snipers aren't looking for you. Great vid!
Yeah I discovered the I4 scope yesterday when someone told me the 4x didnt have sniper glint. Started POPPING OFF killing the whole team from the top of the statue in Frugis, then got two 1300+m headshots on targets in a helicopter on Sandy Sunset. It can do it all
Would love to see more battlebit vids. Sniping is so fun in this game and would love to see your favorite load outs once you unlock stuff. I personally think the l96 is actually better than the m200 because the m200 has such slow movement speed
Higher bullet velocity on the M200 though
@@Slick6464 true velocity is insane on it. I like playing more aggro with l96 and you get slightly less velocity than m200. But i'm curious to hear stods thoughts
My favorite is the Remington 700, every time I use it the kills start pouring in, it just feels so smooth and good to shoot. Not sure what it is I haven't compared the stats of the sniper rifles.
Don't stay scoped in and don't stay in the same spot for too long, these are universal sniping tips
The glint is a good balancing mechanic. You need less skill to use higher zoom optics, but you are more visible to the enemy. It's a perfect balance.
disagree right now becoz the glint shows thru some objects
@@mic_000 and it can be seen at ridiculous angles.
Agree for medium-range snipes using long range. But for anything over 700 meters, actually long range, glint is a little broken.
But at that point, when I snipe people like that, my opponents are also sniping over 700 meters. So idc
Agreed, but not trough objects and maybe a bit smaller would be nice
Thank u captain obvious 🤓🤓🤓🤓
Little tip from a long time sniper, when going long range use the recon drone and fly it up high to spot stationary snipers from above.
Always try to position yourself 2+ Meters back shooting through the smallest hole you can make, if you can't make this sniper nest shoot twice then move position and always change if a sniper is looking at you.
use a bipod only if you are laying on the ground peaking through this small hole. Anything else, use the stubby.
Finally, use your canted sight to aim at your target before switching to your main scope. I can switching optic bound to a thumb button so I always have quick access to the trigger. It goes like this; switch to canted > peak and aim > swap to main scope > fine adjustments > fire > swap to canted. Whole thing means I have less than 200ms scope glint
The scope glint is a bit too much right now. It works sort of at much longer ranges but around 300m sniping with long range scopes just doesn't make sense for me. You just aim and are instantly spotted. I'm assuming there is a 'cone' in front of the scope and everyone in it can see your glint (i.e someone close below you while your on a roof wouldn't see the glint or someone to your side. Maybe reducing the size of this imaginary cone, the brightness and making it so it doesn't show through some objects would be a good change.
BF2042 does scope glint really good, also the angle of which you are looking affects it.
So they can look at that.
Bro you’re damn good man lol. I’m loving watching this game blow up the way it has. It deserves nothing but praise. It’s like the devs were beaten down by 2042 like I was and they said “Fuck it, we’ll do it ourselves.”
Bullet drop in this game is an illusion. When you die and click report player, you can spectate them, and see every player's ray casts. You can even freecam to pretty much cheat for your teammates. The only reason you gotta aim above a player's head is because of some cheap trickery involving the scope / gun sway. If you're gonna use a small range scope, you might as well set your FOV low like 60, give you better accuracy.
I’ve always said this for any game with snipers and scope glint. They need to make a kill flash an accessory. Make it where you have to choose between a bipod, straight bolt, or a killflash.
For those who don’t know what a kill flash is, it’s the honeycomb cover you see on the end of scopes
For newbies, Its better to use ACOG as the crosshair is a triangle. You can position it just above their head to always hit a headshot.
Don't want to position above the head, the acog in this game is aiming at the tip of the point of the acog, not below it like most other games
@@death2foolz182 but when I use it, tip above head will almost always result in a headshot
@OctoberSkys yeah they give a lot of leeway. If you shoot a wall you can see where to aim with the scope. Technically want to use the tip in this game.
I hate acog
this was what I used to do in BF3. M98B with a 3.4x or 4x. Most maps you didn't really need a bigger scope anyway
L96, iron sights, straight pull bolt, laser, 64p TDM noshar canals, DROP EM LIKE ITS 1914!!!
They need to add a Barret gun to the game! I'm baffled we don't have the iconic m82 yet
@@kiro-fo9qgA semi-auto one shot DMR might be too OP without huge recoil like the mk20 has or at least a huge mobility debuff that makes positioning important.
@@kiro-fo9qg would not expect that, unless they implement some kind of limited supply pickup weapons, same as battlefield, but i would like to see some other high powered rifles, like the menstioned M98B, or M95
@@bulletghost3452 would u say the mk20 is a better dmr than the mk14? Not really used them but I've enjoyed popping snipers in the skull with the latter I just unlocked
This is how I've been sniping ever since I unlocked the L96. I use the long silencer too so I can get deep into enemy lines without being heard. Works like a charm, hit 700 meter + headshots with ease, just aim at the sniper glint and zero the scope using a 3.4x of your own
I don’t mind the glint. Snipers should be shooting and repositioning anyways not standing still hardscoping. From a balancing standpoint, I think it’s benificial as well playing as assault the glint warns you that a sniper may have eyes on you or where you are moving to. It’s kind of intimidating moving through a field with no cover and you see that glint in the distance. Snipers would be OP without it.
yeah and even though i could see the glint while im playing assault for example, chances are i won’t even be able to return fire at that range
I've played about 55 hours of Battlebit so far exclusively as Recon - Here are some tips about sniping for new players and some thoughts about the current "balance" for recons.
1. Use a medium-range scope as Stodeh says. - Scope glint on long-range scopes is extremely obviously. On PC especially, people will laser you with normal rifles (AK, M4, SCAR, etc) by spraying in your general direction and since BBR has such a short TTK, you'll die A LOT from people just seeing the glint, spraying in your direction and getting a lucky headshot and random body hit. I believe the scope glint at the moment is extremely unbalanced as it makes sniping from any distance beyond a couple hundred meters extremely difficult on moving targets.
2. BUILD, BUILD, BUILD cover - for those that are still new, when you score squad points or your squad does, you can build sandbags/concrete barriers around your position. Use this to your advantage. If you have a sniping spot that's great but on one or more sides, there's no cover, hold down middle-mouse and click to build fortifications and place walls blocking your unguarded sides. You can also use this feature to your advantage to create your own sniping spots by building sandbags, etc on top of one another to put you higher into the air. Extremely useful for maps that are flat with very bad sniping like tensatown or others with almost no snipings spots (that aren't completely obvious)
3. Use rally points for your squad - Same concept, squad points can be used to build rally points so that your squad can spawn on them virtually anywhere. As recons, we travel to good vantage points away from objectives and in secluded areas where we won't be shot or spotted easily. Use what you are already doing to create spawn points for your squad to take objectives and take the enemy team by surprise by constantly spawning on top of them even if they have the objective captured. - on the flipside, if you need a spawn point for just yourself, you can take a quad and park it anywhere inside your team's safe zone (where you're still capable of shooting) and it will allow you to spawn on it as much as you want. You can use it as a mobile spawn point and enemies won't even notice it because it's a vehicle, not a rally point/spawn beacon.
Anyway, as far as balance, I honestly really dislike how recon is done in Battlebit. I feel like the devs really tried to disincentivize long-range sniping to the point that it's barely viable without getting killed every 1-2 minutes. You also have no way to hold a good sniping spot once you die unless your teammates or a rally point are close by. You could spend 15+ minutes getting to a good sniping spot, only to get unlucky and have a guy halfway across the map see you, spray a rifle 300+ meters, kill you, then you have to make your way all the way back. Use your squadmates, rally points and vehicles to your advantage to minimize this but you'll still be walking a majority of the time.
Secondly, the fact that most maps have such an intense "fog of war" that you can't see beyond about 300 meters really kills the sniping on those maps. Some don't have it that bad, but many do and many there are not even any high spots to get kills as a recon. You'll be constantly fighting for a tiny rooftop with bad visibility that is constantly targeted because it's the only spot on the entire map that has any visibility for sniping good angles. On maps that have very bad visibility and no sniping, use building to try and create your own sniping spot above trees, etc to get better angles than the crappy map buildings.
Lastly, the recon having no good pistols until around level 80 sucks, so you'll be using the default MP443 the most. If you can, run a suppressor and red dot, makes it easier to kill people and stay hidden in CQB when you have to, but try to avoid getting into any gunfights where you can't use your rifle. As a recon, you're going to die a lot. A lot a lot. So try your best to stay hidden. Your armor typically sucks compared to everyone else so the best way to win a fight is to not be in it in the first place and stay as far away from people as possible (which is why the recon balancing frustrates me to no end) - You make a weak class designed for long-range engagement and do everything in your power with balance to force them to have to fight/snipe within 200 meters and with their best equipment, they're so glaringly visible and obvious and die so quickly that it makes it impossible to really do effectively.
I'm hoping someday recons can get a personal spawn beacon (that works like BF3/BF4 spawn beacon for only the recon themselves) as well as a less obvious scope glint or attachments that reduce the scope glint. Some of these maps are so large, yet it's so easy to spot people 500+m because of the scope glint. The glint should only be visible when using ADS imho and only when you're looking in the direction of the sniper's scope. But, instead the devs descided to make long-range scopes small spotlights to the entire map that shows literally everyone where you are. The game was initially designed to be a more-casual sim-style game. When snipers/recons have to constantly move and can't even snipe from 300+m because of a constant barrage of bullets, it's almost completely pointless to even try on most maps because the higher sniping spots are apparent to everyone.
I get people don't want to be dominated by snipers but that's why the enemy team also has them - recons counter other recons. Nerfing recons for everyone by making them have a massive marker on the screen through objects and at stupid angles makes recon possibly the worst class to play (unless you only use medium-range optics) which really nerfs the range recons can utilize. I think within the next year or two, Battlebit will have a lot of things rebalanced and working better. I'd also prefer a kill-cam similar to Battlefield rather than the ragdoll that they have now where you just kind of sit dead on the ground until you're picked back up. This would also help with spotting pesky recons that are in cheesy spots and also help find people exploiting collision on maps in spots that should be impossible to reach.
This games sniping gives me BF2 vibes and I'm all here for it... running the sv-98 with the same scope as you atm... but waiting to unlock the L96
Same boat, sv98 feels so good especially with higher velocity.
everyone struggling to level up to the first medium scope on their sniper watching this:
👁👄👁
just go no scope /s
i actually did do that for a bit on my sv98, it's difficult, but not too bad at med-close encounters
@@somawolfI couldn’t hit a single shot with the iron sights lol
That opening scene with the polite spotting random was a cool moment watching you live, definitely an amazing clip!
I found a lot of success using medium range scopes at up to around 800 m max. Anything beyond that a proper scope is needed. Once you get beyond 1000 m, it doesn't matter if snipers can see you because you can dodge most incoming fire and counter snipers will need to figure out their zero at odd ranges at that point. I went 55 and 2 in one match with all kills over 1000 m. As long as you are in a good spot and know your zeroes it's really not that hard nor impressive. Though you will mostly be only shooting other snipers going after closer range targets because they are the only ones staying still long enough.
i love how most of the maps are just low poly renditions of the best battlefield maps
When modern day gamers realize they don't need high graphics and such, but prefer smooth gameplay with all sorts of features and destruction. I'm 51 yr old school gamer. Don't play anymore due to all the cheats, and game issues.
rly happy to see stod having a blast in this game,
was unaware till now appreciate it brotha
That's nice but what about all those clips in the vid where you're standing over your teammates corpse NOT REVIVING THEM???
I think glints should only show up if you look at the direction of the sniper aiming in, just fix the glare through objects and add a smaller one for the smaller scopes, maybe a scaling from small scope to big
At 6:48 there's a guy in chat complaining about how useless sniper rifles are; meanwhile Stodeh is having a field day with his sniping.
They probably a regular player with a long range scope. It's set up by default. It emits glint which makes it a death sentence in ranges below 200m.
I'm so addicted to sniping in this game, it's soooo satisfying! I've been running the suppressor on the SV98 though since I find it way easier to go unnoticed when I'm doing a little aggressive recon behind enemy lines
That second shoot sheeeeeeeeeessh!!
My biggest pet peeve is dying and on the map screen is a respawn beacon at the edge of the map with the one living squad mate who is camping there sniping. Don’t be a useless sniper! All my high kill count games have been when I’m sniping cuz I play the objectives! Get in the fight ffs.
One thing I gotta say is the helmet absorbing a shot right to the center of the head with a sniper is so infuriating 🤣
Great vid Stodeh, mad sniping as always :D
0:43 the hill full of sniper instantly reminded me of the good old BF3 and BFBC2 days 😂
since your last video (talking about the sniper glint) i changed my scope to the acog. and i also put on the short suppressor and C auto-rechamber with 20bullet mags. i dislike the other medium scopes because they lack the zeroing bar that most (if not all) sniper scopes have, and i use it extensively.
thx for the tips last video, and pls continue making such awesome content
you could always just hold alt and scroll wheel to your desired range zero and click on people's skulls from 800 meters... but if you're having fun guessing how high to hold don't let me knock your fun.
Some people have the gift, others need a spreadsheet. To each their own.
Well-done video. Nice and to the point without overexplaining every detail and making it too wordy, then onto straight gameplay. Now I just have to deal with the gamechat complaining about snipers 😂
The SV is the best with just the medium range scopes. Thanks to the high velocity you can get some insane shots. Its kinda of a a nuisance to hit someone over 1,000 meters but possible once you get used to the scope you are using.
I haven't tried the other snipers yet since I haven't unlocked them but when I do I see how well that goes.
Omg i just realized i can relive the stodeh bf4 days now since u play battlebit
i used a similar method in battlefield 1. i would use the martini henry because it only had the iron sight and i would just shoot at glints and get kills. i would also shoot at enemies that were spotted and usually get them too
I'm awful at this game and have been running iron sights bolt action out of pure bloody stubbborness. I die constantly, rarely get kills, but when you iron sights someone from far far away or get that sneaky kill on a sniper looking for scope glints it feels so good.
1:50 you don't even need to aim above the head if you zero your sights (default is while using ADS, hold Alt and use mousewheel to adjust the zero). having a rangefinder really helps.
Cod 4 introduced me to the ACOG type scopes and I’ve never looked back. Aside from better visibility down range using variable or long range scopes gives too much away.
There is no notification when unlocking a new bolt, learned that the hard way. Just check it periodically.
Also, I don't think a sniper gets scared of another sniper without a glint. They have a high-power scope, so they can see us either way, unless they're behind a tree or fabric. We 4x snipers can't see shit at 800m+. Gotta Flex Tape my eyes to the screen.
I really like the scope glint as someone who doesn't play Sniper, since it feels like enemy snipers actually have a presence that I can easily look out for without feeling like I just got instakilled from nowhere. It also encourages snipers VS snipers combat much more so it feels like a side that is playing well gets range superiority that they deserve.
>me when i use a scope
I love having an entire defense budget thrown at me!
Only time to use a long range scope is 40x scope at 1300+ meters. Got one at 1378 with the default sniper, 40x scope, bipod, ranger, straight pull. I only do that on conquest.
Otherwise I run pretty much what you got. I've tried out the FLIR scope too. Only enemies glow white, so it works great for night maps, Even day maps work fine, it doesn't look any brighter, and goes right through smoke.
if you want to play aggressive and quick scope people point blank the 6x is still better. it scopes in quicker and is more level when scoping in. seems im the only one sniping like that though so 4x might be better for you guys :)
Amazing tips, thank you! Sniping feels amazing in battlebit
The actual difference here tho is that your enemies barely move and never shoot at you, contrary to my gameplay where as soon as I even barely show myself, half the enemy team will have started to shoot at me and parkouring like its assassins creed
Scope glint needs fixing.
Ways to fix it:
1. Glint only appears when you are over 500m away and they are looking close to where you are at. Then it'll encourage sniper vs sniper fights and mean players will have to look/listen for gun shots to locate a concealed sniper.
2. Glint only appears when the hold breath button is held down.
3. All scopes have a small glint that can appear when aiming at someone - if you are aiming down sights and your crosshair goes on them and you are on their screen, they see the glint.
4. Have a scope attachment (like a lense cover) that blocks off a big chunk of the scopes view (think looking through a slit) but reduces the glint.
Also, no zoom/adjustible scopes? The top scopes should have different distance settings or at least give us the option to put the scopes on either attachment point.
I switched to that mid range scope you were using at video start as soon as I got it. Unless you want to go try for extreme long distance headers... Mid range is the way
What are you referring to extreme long ranges? It's quite easy to land shots beyond 500m
@@greenwizard9878 idk, for me it's hard to get over the 800 point with the mid range scope
@@maj_pr0blems It depends for me, I landed 3 1.7km shots on other snipers with mid range today because they're easy to spot with scope glint, otherwise I land 1km - 1.2km consistently since SV can zero to 1km, I understand that it's hard to land those shots with SSG though if you're using that
"Watch me snipe like a madman" ::passes by 27 downed friendlies with no incoming enemies:: "ohh there's an easy target!"
Cant really do anything about it because you just cant work around it while elveling up
You’re exposing my secrets!!
Awesome tips! Thanks!
This is what I've been missing for so long. I freaking love this game.
I just realized stodeh only haz 600000 subs that's ridiculous he deserves over a mil.
0:43 Lovely night out, all those stars in the sky.
I like scope glint but think it's a little intense at the moment.
I leave up my scope glint at long range to get other snipers to aim at me or try to shoot me because I only really go after other snipers
I'll try the setup out tomorrow. Thanks :)
Someone in my team's squad wouldn't stop complaining about the scope glint in VOIP, even taking to the [ALL] chat to try and rally support for his campaign against the realism of their being sniper glint at night. Meanwhile, I'm being sprayed with a vector from two sides while prone after reviving and healing 10+ teammates. So far I love the snipers and think it balances gameplay but I would hate to not be able to detect ANY snipers so I hope most snipers miss this advice and continue blinding me from a distance for easy spotting.
Suggestion if you really just can't drop the long range scope: put a canted red dot on, line up approximately where your target is, AND THEN ADS. That way your glint isn't up for very long.
For some reason I like the bolting.. never had to do it before its cool makes you seem a little more involved
I suck at sniping and I think snipers are annoying but even so I think they need to take another look at scope glint. It's way too bright, and obviously the shining through objects needs to be fixed. I think for a game like Battlebit having glint isn't a problem, but it does clearly need a few balance passes.
Reminds me of call of duty and how a sniper vs sniper battle where one doesn't have a scope might actually make the scoped sniper lose.
I heard somewhere that you have to re-zero your range before every shot. Is this true? Also, how long does it take to unlock the attachments you mentioned in the video?
I have to redo it every respawn, but not every shot in a life. A bit annoying but if you live long lives it's not enough to be a real problem
It's a common IRL sniper thing that after a shot or if you are really lucky two, you are compromised so you have to move.
The whole idea of camping just doesn't happen in real life. And I think the sniper glint in the game emulates that. However the second you zoom in you get instantly shot from across the map by the whole army makes it also kinda irritating to do. A medium range scope should not be the solution making long range scope irrelevant.
I think I would balance it more with see the glint drop off at a certain angle. Creating a tight cone for peering through your scope but greatly increases the angle when shooting. So you only see the glint if the sniper is almost on you but shows the position of the sniper to a larger area when he is actually firing opening them up for counters.
Considering the size of the battles, and the maps with a plethora of cover to work with, I personally think the scope glint mechanic shouldn't exist. We already have tracers on every round, so it's not hard to spot snipers when you're looking for them; but I think it's ridiculous for a rifle to have what is essentially a high-powered flashlight mounted on the top.
Ah yes, sniping. I always get killed by some bloke with a machine gun from halfway across the map
they need make the glint appear brighter the longer someone is ADSing. Kinda like a stamina bar for visibility.
Scope-glints need to:
Have the angle at which they appear reduced. Its so unfair for snipers to be spotted by enemies they're not even aiming close to. It's also the biggest deterrent for playing snipers in their intended way. Also, the "scope-glint robot" thingy, no one falls for that anymore. It's way too predictable, and should have randomized on/off timing and random duration of scope-glinting.
I also wouldn't mind adding tracer/air distortion lines to the bullets fired from snipers (like in Valorant? I've never played it but from what I can see there's like an air distortion behind your bullets? Or like Widomaker and Ana in Overwatch, when firing scoped in).
This game just gets better and better, not even battlefield has this feature
Yes it does 🤣
I think there needs to be a scope attachment that minimizes scope glare. My buddy in the military told me they were taught to cut a slit in their scope cover. Might be a good idea
If it also drastically reduces the visible area the scope gets, then that sounds like a great idea.
@@nuhuhbruhbruh yessir it does
Me personally hate scope glint not because I snipe sometimes but it’s just ridiculous how obvious it is, kills the element of being stealthy and unexpected. Snipers are hated by the gaming community as a whole and devs just make it so it’s even harder on snipers.
Maybe remove it and give classes like thermal binos so it adds an element of counter sniping. Hell there’s already a “death cam” which literally points you in the direction of where you died.
The glint is good to have but they should make it not shine brighter than the goddamn sun.
On that note when you get a night map slap on that high power scope because there is no glint during night, also use a suppressor or flash hider to eliminate muzzle flash aswell as that is a rather noticeable during night.
I REALLLY wish that TH-camrs didn’t all jump on the bandwagon to tell everyone to start using medium range scopes, let everyone just find out on their own. But I get it I respect the video purely because I know it’s Tailored to an audience, still a great vid and ima watch the whole thing.
I always felt that scope glint should only be visible when the sun is at the correct angle for realisms sake. I know it’s a good balancing system I just think it’d be more interesting to actually be a stealthy sniper that way. Like in Arma 3 there’s no glint and it plays just as well.
What range do you zero your scopes? I am learning how to use the zeroing mechanics.
You match what the rangefinder says. You can always not zero your scope and compensate the bullet drop naturally, anyway, you need to do it for >500m since zeroing only goes to 500m
@@ferythdepends on the gun. M200 goes up to 1400m
How do you use the rangefinder effectively - what is it used for? Could you make a video on this?
Stodeh, thanks for the tip, I enjoy sniping with mid range scope, the difference of the gameplay is huge.
I would have a question: Why do you start with 7 mags, while I start with 3. Is it a content creator advantage or how?
Okay, I found the answer. Silly me... so if any of you wonder: under character customization, the chest armor section is what you are looking for.
@@clethcriss6258 thx
oooh will have to try that setup when i unlock it
They need to make it so the glint doesnt go through obstacles, only when they are looking within a certain degree of you, and so they dont appear if you are in shade/indoors. Otherwise its like you have a spotlight attached to the front of your rifle that says "Shoot me!" Either that or an attachment for your scope known as a kill flash that eliminates scope glint irl. Whoever came up with the idea of scope glint doesnt know how they really work irl
@Stedeh How did you unlock the snipers and attachments so quickly? Did you grind them in the private beta or something?
they should add killflashes that you can unlock that reduce the glint to varying degrees, but never eliminate it
Alright!! Hear me out.
It would be pretty cool if they could add in a feature to do with the sun. Don’t really know what you would call it.
But like rather than removing glint add a feature that reacts with the sun. So if the sun is setting like it is on the map at 8:17 in the video; and you are aiming from east to west, you get glint due to reflection. Same situation however you are aiming from west to east no reflection. Would add another element of awareness into your positioning in the map.
Sounds totally broken right? Well what if they then add an attachment to the scopes where you can hide the glint on the optics however your field of view is narrowed looking down the scope.
Just feel like a game like this could achieve this kind of mechanic. What are our thoughts?
being a medic is so rewarding in this game
I find it funny how Stodeh is just sniping people whilst on a building while the rest of the team is getting bombed and attacked and he just doesn’t even look at it😂😂😂
My biggest question is how do people build multilevel forts out of the basic sandbags. I have yet to see any video covering that. It's very useful when you're camped out shooting across the map and you can pull off some cheeky angles while standing straight up but being completely covered on all sides. I've only had 1 squad mate who knew how. I've been trying but the build system is so wonky.
If you know please tell us!
Also, very sick shots! My proudest moment in this game so far is a 711m shot on a moving target with a no glint scope. Also shot a couple dudes out of Humvees which is so satisfying lol
I’d love to see a video on how you dial in your sensitivity in this game. I’ve used mouse-sensitivity’s website to convert my sense from other games, but my ADS sense feels super off still, not sure what I’m missing.
I also think sniper glints should stay, as it would be kinda frustrating playing in 256 player lobbies without them IMO. Maybe the lower zoom sniper scopes could use some balancing along those lines?
