Brown-ness Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I'm rank 156 online and I have had the Heavy Sniper for a while now. I get tired of CQC and dying and all of that stuff, so I just got in my buzzard and flew from rooftop to rooftop sniping everyone I could see.... So many ragers man it's funny! This guy got a tank and tried to shoot me, but I sniped him through the door and then he ragequit after saying that he was going to hack me!!! Sniping>everything And to top it all off, there's a sniper rifle for every occasion, there's the semi automatic one for closer range, the regular sniper for silenced takedowns, and the heavy sniper when you don't care and want the 1 hit kill.

SMFtwstdHICK Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I must admit. I to, love sniping from rooftops.. I get my favorite beverage of choice, and kick back, snipe players.. They do get sorely pissed. hahaha.. A lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creme_Brulee Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) It's really fun. I'm not like you, I don't go from rooftop to rooftop, but if I get in a combat situation, I will try to find a ladder to go up a building and hide. Many times they will think you're below, so it's an easy kill. Edited July 7, 2015 by Braulioaej Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DentureDynamite Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I need to do this more often; it is fun! Patience is needed though; it's way too easy for players to dodge your shots just by moving around between buildings, etc. I also usually do something that gets the cop choppers/NOOSE on me, and the fun soon ends...lol.

REXX Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Normally when I'm in search of griefers, I grab my Hydra or whatever I feel like flying and head up to the top of the Maze Bank tower. I reduce the aiming sensitivity, lay back, grab a bite to eat and snipe the hell out of them. Can't believe how stupid some really are. They drive to the bottom of the Maze Bank tower but it doesn't even cross their mind to think I'm on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markyhitch Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I like sniping with a buzzard. Land on one of the tall, twin buildings that overlook Vespucci helipad then wait for randoms to collect their aircraft. As soon as they climb in and the engine starts firing up, for that moment they are open to fire. I simply rise ever so slightly, lock on and BOOM!!!!!!

chef_archie Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Sounds to me like you guys are sniping low level rookies, at that rate just get on street level with a carbine rifle and get more kills off the low levels for your precious K/D lol. Sad, the extremes you will take to not die, and the amount of time wasted waiting and hoping some low level rookie walks into your sights. Just give up on the game and move on to something else at this rate guys, you are so obviously done with the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCMXCII Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I use to snipe people from bushes in RDR while in a hardcore lobby. It was a lot of fun. I have been playing GTA5 since day 1 and I have yet to go on a sniping spree. I will definitely have to try it someday. ...I reduce the aiming sensitivity...Does reducing the aim sensitivity help when you are sniping? I have never messed with that setting before.

Shadowfennekin Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I love sniping as well. I love finding roofs near Free Roam wars and sniping the participants who can't afford to find me or they'll get shot by somebody down there. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRTTURBO4 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 And THIS is precisely why I drop proximity bombs on the roofs of all the tall buildings. Had enough of snipers getting easy kills. The first bomb usually destroys their helicopter. The second I hide in the more popular sniper nests on those roofs. It's always fun to see my name pop up with another player's death. Ah. Good times! =) chef_archie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presidential Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I find the fact that someone has to use passive mode to get kills more funny than anything.

Hey, I don't passive mode once the fight has started. All I need is a guaranteed safe path to my spot and the rest falls into place. Go off radar and do what you want, I'll just keep the one entrance to my spot decked with bombs until you're visible again. Only time I've ever been whooped that badly was when I was broke and ran out of ammo after like a month of just griefing... If it ever gets to the point where I'm compeltely out numbered and it's like 9 to 1, I'll hit up some friends of mine from irl and we'll just storm the place, I have a friend who's a great pilot, and the rest love sniping too! I have a mic, but I usually just put my chat to everybody and leave it off. I love hearing these grown men and women cry like children because they can't get me. One of the best feelings of all GTA is when you've taken someone out 12 times, and they kill you once and they go ballistic, texting you hate messages, saying how you're trash...

FrugalDangerMan Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I'm a tower sniper too. I actually like the roof of Tinsle Towers. It gives you a nice view down both directions of Poplar Street and a great line of sight for the LSC. Also, there are massive AC units that cover your ass from snipers who may nest on the crane near Eclipse Towers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presidential Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) Turning passive mode on to avoid dying while finding a spot for you to kill still counts as passive mode assisted killing to me. I'm not trying to make a big deal out of it or anything but you can't act like you're this beast sniper when you just said you'd use passive mode to get you where you're going. That's not pro skills in my book. Not saying you claimed to be anything, either. Just stating my opinion on the matter while the subject has been brought up.

Why bitch and moan? What good does it do you? My opinion is to beat them at their own game. If I keep getting killed by a player, I'll switch up my tactics and go at it in another way. I have ALL the weapons/bombs etc. I have plenty of choices and tactics to choose from. One of them WILL eventually get ya. I will say I'm sneaky as all f*ck! I'll even leave you alone for a while just to make you think I've given up. THEN is when I love to strike. I go off the radar and hit ya like the hand of God. Like I said before, I love to spectate other players and know where they are and what they are doing. It makes it easy for a revenge kill. I started The Hitman Union for a very good reason (although it's as dead as Dillinger now). No one ever sees the hitman coming for them until it's too late. Thats my motto. Now, I won't mess with anyone in the game UNLESS they try to kill me first. I leave everyone alone. I'm too busy making money and leveling up. But if someone shoots at me.......

This isn't making your story sound better, you are just further proving my point of what a worthless player you are. You have failed to show any skill or cunning playstyle. what you have shown is; 1. you suck at combat so you wait until others are engaged in combat and pick them off. 2. you use passive mode to find your spot so you don't accidentally find yourself in a real battle 3. when the going gets tough from the problems you started, you call in back up 4. your answer to any combat is either sniping unsuspecting players or using pegasus vehicles You are the kind of player that during a DM or TDM gets owned time and time again. That is if you ever join a DM or TDM, cuz ur too busy waiting hours on end on a rooftop praying someone walks into your sights. My point is you are an under-developed player. You have essentially given up on yourself, rather than sharpening your skills you have given in to the risk-less easy kill.
