for the top 10 sniper rifles in video
games
snarfer - good job Mike for this list
we'll be examining the wide spectrum of
high-powered high precision rifles in
gaming spotlighting those that we find
best balanced style and practicality as
usual we're placing a limit of one gun
per game or franchise number 10 sniper
rifle t fortress 2 hit chalked the
signature weapon of the sniper character
from Team Fortress 2 this single-shot
rifle is known for being incredibly
deadly in the right hands it is
completely accurate in aim with no loss
of damage potential due to drop-off and
a guaranteed critical hit whenever used
for headshots
the rifle can also be allowed to charge
up for a damage increase meeting
ordinary bullets to the limbs and torso
of an opponent can result in extremely
debilitating injuries plus it's straight
board visual design resembling a hunting
rifle gives it a certain charm
I think his mic Xiaomi number 9 long
shot Gears of War series when combating
subterranean foes one needs the finest
in precision weaponry enter the long
shot a high-powered rifle developed by
the coalition of ordered government's
for use during the pendulum warrants its
appearance in the Gears of War Games
sees it serving as the main weapon of
choice for fast get accurate shooting
and it's the only weapon that can really
target those that are currently in cover
furthermore the long shot doesn't need
to get a head shot to critically wounded
kill enemies just one round fired at any
body part is potentially fatal no matter
what number 8 HK MSG 90 silent scope
sometimes one gun is enough such is the
case for the arcade game silent scope
where players take the role of a sniper
combating terrorists trying to attack
the American first family
in our home your single weapon of choice
though never specifically named is
functionally a life-size recreation of
the HK MSG 90 sniper rifle mounted into
the arcade cabinet and featuring a tiny
screen inside the scope to act as the
zoom it's efficient deadly and was
really really cool the first time you
tried it back in the arcades

number seven headhunter Bulletstorm the
2011 first-person shooter Bulletstorm
features a healthy arsenal of
interesting weapons though few prove
more gratifying than the headhunter
sniper rifle first starters the
headhunter fires explosive rounds
meaning every shot taken has the
potential to [ __ ] or decimate foes on
impact what takes this rifle into
cathartic territory though is its
special scoped mode which allows players
to control the trajectory of rounds fire
in essence this ensures that those
gamers who like to torment their enemies
before eliminating them will be
sufficiently satisfied
number six crossbow
half-life 2 definitely an unconventional
choice but no less worthy of being named
this seemingly innocuous weapon is found
by theoretical physicist turned
resistance fighter Gordon Freeman on his
journey along Highway 17 in half-life 2
however once taken into battle
the crossbow proves itself as a good
addition to Gordon's arsenal it can zoom
in precisely and it fires red-hot steel
rebar that can pin combine soldiers to
surfaces few things are as morbidly
amusing as sticking a combine grudge to
a wall by their head or arms to say
nothing of the clear killing power on
display it's fun and it's useful how can
you go wrong number 5 biotic rifle
overwatch wielded by the Egyptian bounty
hunter Anna the biotic rifle is a
prototype sniper rifle that heals people
specifically the rifle fire starts that
will heal allies and damage enemies
depending on who is targeted
the biotic rifles use as a support
weapon for keeping teams moving while
wounding foes is undeniable helping it
to stand out amidst more similar
firearms in the game that the darts can
be fired linearly from the hip or more
precisely thanks to the rifles hitscan
ability is definitely a bonus I have you
in my sight number 4 sniper rifle
Goldeneye double-oh-seven
[Music]
the classics will never die case in
point
Goldeneye double O 7 introduced or
solidified many conventions of the
first-person shooter genre including the
presence and functionality of a sniper
rifle this games take on the sniper
rifle could be obtained as early on as
the first mission letting players take
potshots at Soviet adversaries from
safety
[Applause]
the sniper rifle packed in a suppressor
and a sight with adjustable zoom range
and was quite usable even at a short
distance Plus since you're James Bond
you can dual wield two sniper rifles
which doesn't make sense but don't think
about it too much simple though it may
be in design and capabilities the sniper
rifle is versatile and balanced enough
to be worth remembering with fondness
[Music]
number three sniper rifle system nine
nine anti-material halo series while we
may have a certain fondness for the type
50 sniper rifle system it's the SR 99
that sticks out the most for us this
anti-material family of sniper rifles is
a recurring element of the Halo games
acting as the UNSC s prime choice of
weapon in matters that require brutal
yet precise measures consistent elements
of the sniper rifle system 99 line
include a semi-automatic firing mode
multiple high magnification settings for
its scope and armor-piercing rounds
capable of obliterating vehicles it's
always good to have a reliable and
damaging gun on one side and these fit
the bill nicely
number two Farsight XR 20 perfect dark
[Music]
technically a handheld railgun with an
unorthodox scope the XR 20 nevertheless
is a sniper rifle of immeasurable power
at its core its unique alien design
catches your eye right off the bat from
its shiny blue coloring to its strange
angles in shape beyond its appearance
though the Farsight proves useful thanks
to its one key detail its energy blasts
can go through any number of walls and
will kill enemies instantly used in
conjunction with the weapons secondary
mode which contract enemies as you aim
this makes for very one-sided battles
before we unveil our top pick here a few
honorable mentions
