boom headshot welcome to watchmojo.com
and today we'll be counting down our
picks for the top 10 video games snipers
was at the end of the day long is as two
people left on the planet someone is
gonna watch someone day for this list
we've selected the best and most
memorable gaming snipers the chosen
characters can either be playable
enemies or supporting storyline
characters but they have to have some
sort of personality I just had my rifle
with me just me against all of them
number 10 agent Falcon silent scope
series one of the standout arcade light
gun shooters was silent scope boasting a
giant plastic sniper rifle with usable
scope starting from silent scoped to
agent Falcon is sought out by world
leaders to complete dangerous covert
missions usually to prevent things like
terrorist attacks nuclear threats and
all sorts of fun stuff
agent Falcon himself isn't the most
developed character preferring to work
alone and constantly butting heads with
his ally agent jackal fine the next time
you without my permission
assume you're trying to escape and I'll
mail you myself but the combination of
insane missions and the sense of
immersion from using the cabinet mounted
sniper rifle makes him unforgettable I
think that was his best performance ever
number nine June 1860 six Halo Reach
that hot June and Romeo the two most
famous snipers in the Halo series are
quite different from one another Romeo
is assertive and aggressive
whereas June is more composed though
still prone to chattiness and excitement
when the cat runs enough direct action
is always necessary June was one of the
original candidates for the Spartan 4
project due to his excellent
marksmanship he separates from the team
in order to escort dr. Halsey and is
never seen again though he might be dead
there's also a chance that he is the
only squad member from Halo Reach to
actually survive I require no escort
commander Jun make sure nothing falls
into enemy hands
I'll do what's necessary said number 8
Sharla
Xenoblade Chronicles you can't lose hope
just yet Sharla is unique because she
combines two jobs that don't normally go
together sniper and medic when Sharla's
colony was attacked and destroyed
she and her brother juju helped all of
the survivors reach a refugee camp when
juju is kidnapped by the evil sword
Sharla decides to join shulk in his team
tell me there's a mech on it's taken to
Jun though not the strongest character
Sharla's combination of long-distance
attacks healing powers and support magic
make her one of the most invaluable
party members in Xenoblade Chronicles
until I scrapped each and every one of
you
number seven Irvine Kenya's Final
Fantasy 8 generally snipers are the
strong silent type but not Irvine
arrogant and mouthy he makes up for his
questionable personality by being the
best shot at his Academy Irvine is
lonely and overcompensates by flirting
with every girl inside although he is a
loyal companion who comes to see his
team as his family once he joins your
squad it will be difficult to remove him
from your active roster his Limit Break
with proper ammunition can become one of
the most devastating attacks in the game
number six
Caitlyn league of legends right I love a
good chase the sheriff of a town known
for it's almost non-existent crime rate
the citizens of piltover can thank
Caitlyn for their safety Caitlyn has
been attempting for years to track down
her archrival
a master criminal she enters the League
of Legends to improve her skills and to
search for leads Caitlyn's rifle isn't
exactly standard issue but her aim and
shooting expertise are unrivaled I was
hiding me using a combination of
long-range single opponent attacks and
traps to make her shots easier Caitlyn
is a formidable opponent plus she wears
a top hat bonus points
number five
Craig boon Fallout New Vegas they told
us to shoot till we were out of ammo so
that's what we did
there are several memorable companion
characters available in Fallout New
Vegas including the super mutant and a
cyborg dog so why would you pick boon to
tag along with you on your misadventures
through the wasteland simple boon is the
best shot in new vegas standing orders
were to shoot on sight he also wears a
totally badass aviators and beret combo
formerly of the NCR militia group this
hardened sniper jumps at the opportunity
to leave his dead-end job as a town
guard and track down the men kidnapped
his wife number four
Carl Fairburn Sniper Elite Series
when it comes to military
accomplishments you're going to have a
really hard time beating Carl Fairburn
he's the guy who destroys armored trucks
with a precise bullet shot and the guy
who killed Hitler yes Hitler's raised in
Berlin fair burns proficiency in German
allows him to disguise himself and
infiltrate the Reich to track down the
Nazis nuclear technology before the
Soviets can get their hands on it
Carl Fairburn is a master sniper but is
almost equally proficient at close range
making him a deadly threat to any Nazi
or Soviet troops that are standing
between him and his mission
number three Mordecai borderland series
there's a couple of sniper characters in
the borderlands series but only Mordecai
has a pet bird
bat thing named blood wing that flies
around killing bandits with dive-bomb
attacks so dead
sure zero from Borderlands 2 is a badass
cyborg ninja but he's more of an
infiltrator than a sniper
Mordecai on the other hand is a true
marksman he's so precise that he won a
marksmanship contest using a revolver
while his companions were using sniper
rifles he's that good
he's also an alcoholic with an
insatiable thirst for money and women
but we'll let that slide
number two the sniper Team Fortress 2
hit chopped the sniper is a
rough-and-tumble marksman born in New
Zealand but who earned his chops growing
up in the Australian outback Christ
Gottman dead ominous accent oh the
difference bein one is a job and the
others mental sickness his upbringing is
readily apparent considering his
stereotypical outback style gear not
much is known about this mysterious man
but he is unrivaled on the battlefield
when it comes to long-range shooting
headshots and delivering critical hits
the only sign that the sniper is getting
a bead on you is that menacing red laser
so keep your eyes peeled before we
unveil our top pick here are a few
honorable mentions you know how to use
that thing
just get your ass down there I got you
covered and don't kill the boss this
time think you can get to me many have
tried none have managed it target too
quiet I have a positive ID on em anons I
can number one the end Metal Gear Solid
3 Snake Eater
there are several snipers in the Metal
Gear Solid series with the Kurdish
beauty sniper wolf and the silent bikini
model quiet
but none are more deadly than the end
with supernatural camouflage and
photosynthesis powers the end can stay
immobile for weeks lining up the perfect
shot I sleep the end uses his pet parrot
to help track snake down and if you're a
real jerk you can shoot that stupid bird
his boss fight is quite the grueling
battle but there is a way to make things
a bit easier if you save and quit during
the battle and then start playing again
a week later he'll have died of old age
we're not kidding
you're gonna kick the bucket in the
middle of a bottle maybe yeah well snake
