GP Sniper Rifles Guide

This guide is dedicated to help players that are having trouble on deciding which GP Sniper Rifle to buy, and also to help them pick the right weapon for them. This guide primarily for people who actually want to use a sniper as their main weapon. It also shows the usage of each snipers.

The snipers are a fun group of weapons to use, and just killing one person could give the player a lot of satisfaction. However each sniper are immensly different from each other, and they are not easy weapons to master.

Before choosing the right sniper for you, you need to get familiar with the two classes of sniper rifles, the bolt action snipers and the semi-automatic snipers. Bolt action snipers unscope after every shot, unlike the semi-automatic snipers, forcing the player to aim again for the second shot. However the disadvantage is made up by either unmatched accuracy (M24), or very high damage (L96A1). Bolt-action snipers generally takes more skill to use.

M24
This is the sniper unlocked at the very start of the game. It has no rank requirement, and is fairly cheap for a sniper, at 1,100 GP. However, a new player should not be using this gun, unless he had experience in other FPS games, and have excellent marksmanship. Even though the M24 is the most accurate weapon in Combat Arms, it is also one of the hardest sniper to use, due to the combined fact that it is bolt action and 2 hit kill. Against an opponent with full health, one either have to heashot him (near impossible on moving targets), or land 2 shots on him quickly (scope, aim, shoot, repeat last 3 steps in less than 2 seconds).

The M24 is strictly a camping weapon, and is only good for long ranges. Its lack of crosshair and slow killing speed makes this gun useless in close and even medium range combat. One need to be patient to use this gun well, as camping involves a lot of sitting around and looking for targets.It is heavily recommended that one get a backup weapon to deal with rushers looking for close combat. An assault rifle would be a good choice, but not the default M16, as it is also terrible for close range. All assault rifles other than the M16 cost money, and you need to buy two guns to use the M24 safely, which is a lot of GP.

The M24 has a lot of potentials, but few people have the patience to overcome the challenges of using this gun. You should not buy the M24 if you don't think you have good enough aim for it. Even if you do it is recommended that you only use this weapon if you have a large supply of GP, as the M24 is a very situational gun, and a flexible gun to deal with unexpected situation is needed.

If you are a new player and you want a sniper, then I suggest you wait until you rank up to Private, so you can get the SR-25. It is a much easier weapon to use.
