kaizan Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Anyone know of any great spots for sniping or are there any missions / deathmatches in which sniping is a key part? Just seem to find sniping pretty damn satisfying. It takes skill. There is a yellow crane overlooking the highway (close to the tunnel) which is pretty good. Anyone know of any others? Sniping tank drivers is ridiculously fun. If you haven't done it yet, try it. Can be difficult, but very satisfying when you pull it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAWASAKI KX 500 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 any bush you can hide your character in can be used for sniping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
professor-brainiac Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 The roof of the building just opposite the expensive appartment complex near Michaels house is a very good place. There's usually a lot of action in that area. Once I cargobob'ed a tank up there to use as anti-aircraft gun when angry sniper victims return in buzzards or lazers.

mfoster09 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I do a lot of sniping from on top of the mall next to the main LSC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaizan Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 You can't snipe tanks anymore. Has it been patched? Well, it was fun while it lasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeberto1874 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I used to spend a lot of time sniping from any of the big scyscrapers, weird sense of joy where you take someone out from streets away. My best one to date is easily when a cheesed of sniper victim dashed off to get a lazer, it took a few shots at him flying around me trying to blow me up before finally I noticed the jet just going into a nosedive. Got bored of sniping though so not done it for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisymollie Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 You can't snipe the most powerful vehicle in GTA but you can snipe everything else. Yeah, that makes sense R*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s1ckmad3 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 You can't snipe the most powerful vehicle in GTA but you can snipe everything else. Yeah, that makes sense R*. you still can aim a bit lower under the hatch right side of the tank be beyond 3 blocks and the most tallest besides maze bank ive tested this last night and i can confirm its doable with the heavy sniper OT: my best spot is on the building under construction where "high priority case" takes place i park my buzzard on the top and place a sticky in case they land and high jack it while i stand and snipe others on the bottom floor which provides perfect cover if they are in a buzzard they have to lower the copter to your level and it gives a perfect opportunity to shoot them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GratuitousViolets Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 The mission "Coveted" is a pretty good opportunity for some sniping from a hill top. The distances are quite far and it can be a little challenging when a lot of the time you end up with mist obscuring vision. I love sniping. s1ckmad3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCamo Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 The best snipes are when you are not looking for a sniper kill, like when you have to use it to defend yourself. These come at random. Also from the train is fun when you have a bounty/grudge match. ten-a-penny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boleen Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Rooftop of almost any building at the airport, fun is when you get the kill they spawn outside the airport On Vinewood across the street from the ammo nation in a midsized building that has a great rooftop for landing helis on and very defensible cover Favorite in game game: Get a bounty and camp on Elysian Islands roof, good sniping plus the mercs kill fools for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love sniping. sniping on there is fun even more fun when at the bottom from a far distance shooting the grenade launcher and blowing up the trucks on across from you like a boss I agree. In coveted you can nail 3 of the 4 enemies from the top of the hill with the grade launcher (two of which are the interceptors that run up the hill to meet you, then half way (or slightly less) you can fire a mortar shot to the jeeps.and some of the cowards in the cove (got a great over shot standing in front of the chopper to the guy hidden at the far side of the fixed container by the cave the other day). The rest is straight sniping. In the big bad world there are two great sniping spots. one is the spawn location on the dirt road just beneath madrazos. It's a good view of the bend next to eclipse and a good pro sniping spot to pick of fueders (the grenade launcher can be fun here). The other is marked with red dot on the map here It's the roof of the building with the sign. Stand on the edge of the building facing the lsc for some high priority hijinx.

backward_axis Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 The Arcadius building- Direct line of sight to vinewood LSC, ammunation to the east, mors mutual lot, helipad by the docks north of airport. Many intersecting roads that work as killzone funnels. Several levels to jump down to and stairs to get back up to the helipad. No access from ground level. In my experience, if someone is tank-trolling, 90% of the time you will be able to snipe them from here. There's a place to house from cop choppers. The design of the building makes it really hard to accidentally fall off of and to avoid other snipers on nearby taller buildings. Only one real landing area makes it easy to toss down a sticky in case someone else tries to join you with their own chopper. Jehannum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jehannum Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) Arcadius for me too. Not on the central helipad circle but on the outer cylindrical towers. Beautiful view of the car park outside the main LS Customs. You can even see the helicopter place by the docks. Leave your PV there. If it gets destroyed it's an early warning that someone else is getting a chopper. BTW, ever noticed there's a parachute floating (& rotating - maybe it's a jetpack!) halfway down the Arcadius building's wall but there isn't a 'chute on the top of the building? A glitch I suppose.

JC Hammer Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 From the top of the Merryweather hangar you can take out players camped around Simeons garage door. You wont get a gamer tag but you can usually hit them by using the radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
