Dragunov
The Dragunov is a semi-automatic sniper rifle loosely based on the AK47. It is considered the second weakest sniper rifle due to its 10-round magazine. Accuracy is key for effectiveness. It feels light, with no apparent stat-based weakness. Recommended attachments include the ACOG Scope and Extended Mags for holding choke points. Warlord perk can combine attachments, with Hardened Pro or Scout Pro being good alternatives.

WA2000
The WA2000 is one of the rarest weapons, with only 176 models produced. In-game, it's considered the worst sniper rifle, even below an M14 with an Infrared Scope. It has a longer reload time and less ammo than the Dragunov, with similar power. Its redeeming quality is very low recoil, making follow-up shots easier. Recommended attachments are the ACOG Scope and Extended Mags. Warlord perk is viable, as are Hardened Pro or Scout Pro.

L96A1
The L96A1 is a British bolt-action sniper rifle designed for cold-weather resistance. It is the most powerful weapon in the game, capable of one-hit kills to most body parts except forearms and legs. Its bolt-action nature makes follow-up shots slower, but it's the preferred choice for accurate players. Recommended attachments are the SUSAT Scope and Extended Mags, ideally combined with the Warlord perk. The Variable Zoom Scope is also a good option.

PSG1
The PSG1 is a precision marksman rifle for close-proximity sniper teams. It's considered the second-best sniper rifle due to its perceived power. However, its small magazine and high recoil make follow-up shots difficult. It has kill multipliers for the entire torso up to the head, similar to the Barret. No attachments are recommended, as they reduce the kill multiplier to the stomach.
