Master sniping in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare with advanced tactics. Learn about control setups, environmental concealment, and the 'Hard Scoping' technique for effective long-range engagements.

This guide section for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare focuses on advanced sniping tactics, covering control setups, environmental usage, and the 'Hard Scoping' technique.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Control Setup: Choose your preferred control scheme (Wii mote pointer, control stick aiming, or Classic Controller Pro) based on your skill and desired scope type.
  2. 2
    Environmental Awareness: Utilize cover such as building corners, windows, roofs, bushes, and cars to conceal yourself. Avoid predictable spots like sniper towers on Array.
  3. 3
    'Hard Scoping' Technique: Adopt a 'One Shot, One Kill' (OSOK) philosophy, similar to the legendary White Feather. Stay hidden, scope in from a distance, take your shot, and immediately relocate to a new position to maintain stealth. This involves aiming center mass for reliability at long distances.
  4. 4
    In-Game Mechanics: Understand that sniper rifles are outclassed in rate of fire, reload speed, and centering speed. Success relies on situational awareness and environmental mastery. The improved hit detection in the game is noted as a positive improvement.
  5. 5
    Recommended Loadout:
    • Primary Weapon: PSG1 or Dragunov with Variable Zoom or Infrared scope.
  6. 6
    Secondary Weapon: Pistol of Choice or Ballistic Knife (Dual wield Makarovs recommended).
  7. 7
    Perk 1: Ghost or Ghost Pro.
  8. 8
    Perk 2: Hardened, Hardened Pro, Scout, or Warlord Pro.
  9. 9
    Perk 3: Hacker Pro.
  10. 10
    Equipment: Motion Sensor.
  11. 11
    Perk Justification:
    • Ghost/Ghost Pro provides stealth.
  12. 12
    Hardened/Hardened Pro helps counter enemy snipers.
  13. 13
    Scout increases breath-holding time (normally 4 seconds, up to 8 with Scout), but is considered less valuable than other perks.
  14. 14
    Warlord Pro provides concussion grenades for close-quarters combat.
  15. 15
    Motion Sensor acts as a perpetual claymore.
  16. 16
    'Hard Scoping' Challenges: Account for both your own hand sway and the game's built-in sway that keeps crosshairs from standing still. Constantly correct your aim. The 'Press "A" to Hold Breath' option assists with this.
  17. 17
    Aim Assist (Wii mote): Be aware that Aim Assist can snap onto targets but does not guarantee a lethal shot. It can be problematic with multiple targets in view, potentially tracking the wrong enemy.
Tips
  • Prioritize environmental concealment and relocation over direct engagement.
  • Center mass aiming is more reliable for long-distance kills than headshots.
  • While Scout perk increases breath-holding time, consider if its slot is better used for other perks like Hardened or Ghost.
  • The Motion Sensor is highly effective for area denial.
  • Be cautious of Aim Assist with the Wii mote when multiple targets are present.
