Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Signature Series Strategy Guide › MULTIPLAYER WEAPONS

Sniper Rifles

Powerful precision weapons capable of one-shot kills, sniper rifles dominate long-range combat.

Intended Role: Flexible all-purpose combat

Ideal Range: Close-medium to medium-long

CQC and Hip Fire Potential: Moderate to low

Precision and Long Distance Potential: Moderate to high

Sniper rifles are designed to fight at a distance, with powerful scopes that require steadying to aim and fire accurately.

Snipers have sluggish handling characteristics and poor hip fire, making them a bad choice up close. But at medium to long range, they can lock down a sightline, preventing enemies with shorter-range weaponry from retaliating. A sniper rifle with the Ironsights attachment can function at shorter ranges. Just keep in mind that the Ironsights attachment demands pinpoint accuracy so that you don’t fall to rapid-fire weapons up close.
