Walkthrough
  1. 1
    AWM Sniper Rifle: This rifle features a 14x hunter scope. In the Criminal Activity update on June 16, its damage drop-off start distance was increased from 12.5 to 30 meters.
  2. 2
    .300 Knockout Pistol: This sidearm uses .300 Blackout ammunition, has a capacity of 5+1 rounds, a fire rate of 36 RPM, and a reload time of 3.20 seconds.
  3. 3
    Assignment Completion: You can use semi-auto sniper rifles to achieve the required sniper rifle kills for the assignments.
  4. 4
    Laser Tripmines: Plant these on floors, walls, or ceilings, ideally around corners, to damage enemies or vehicles.
  5. 5
    Camera Coins: Plant cameras high on walls or trees overlooking enemy routes. You receive a camera assist when a friendly kills an enemy spotted by your camera. The gadget is now more effective, and coin requirements have been reduced.
  6. 6
    Marksman Coins: Earn a Marksman Coin by achieving a marksman bonus of 250+ meters, or by accumulating multiple marksman bonuses in a single match that total 250+ meters. A marksman bonus is awarded for headshot (a shot that lands on the enemy's head, usually an instant kill) kills at 50+ meters, equal to the range in meters.
  7. 7
    Long-Range Sniping: Aim for targets near objectives to see their distance. Avoid distances like 83 or 123 meters as they won't total 250 meters. On maps like Dust Bowl in Conquest Large, the hills on the east and west sides are approximately 300 meters from the central flags. Remember to adjust your zeroing (see Section 02a) and reset it after each respawn (be brought back to life at a checkpoint after death). Look for stationary targets like snipers, vehicle crews, or flag cappers.
Tips
  • The AWM has a maximum damage of 100, allowing for one-hit kills on chest shots within 30 meters.
  • Consider using the Scout Elite if you are not within the 30-meter one-hit kill range for the AWM.
  • For Marksman Coins, aim for distances like 300 meters on maps like Dust Bowl to easily achieve the 250-meter requirement.
  • When planting cameras for Camera Coins, place them in high, strategic locations that offer good visibility of common enemy pathways.
