Hey guys, serious question, how can you counter snipers in dirty bomb? I was playing some games with Godess and some other really good snipers and it really just ruins the game, every time you move or shoot you just die to a shot. I was talking to them about it but they just said snipers take skill, which sure, they do, but that doesn’t stop them from totally shutting you down constantly and killing you. So how can you counter snipers, and don’t say flank them or anything, I’m talking snipers who will 180 body/headshot you and then kill you with pistol.
How to counter snipers?

@pinny0101 it is extremely hard to be a sniper in this game, that’s why they are allowed to dominate I guess
- You can try to longjump along the walls to cross their line of sight and then flank them carefully
- You can try calling an airstrike behind them (or summon the beam of death and drag it towards yourself, so it would desintegrate them)
- You can try throwing nades at them from a really long distance just to scare them off and only then going ahead and catching them in cqc
- You can try to aimpunch them down with Hochfir and MK46

Death beam could work, but wouldn’t you have to be standing out in the open for that? Aimpunch doesn’t seem to do anything, they still have 100% accuracy when I’m shooting them it seems.

@pinny0101 you can cast meme laser by poiting at a wall, hiding behind a cover
on aimpunch… it is indeed annoying how one augment makes snipers so strong

Go PDP Redeye, throw smoke away from sensors and take potshots from behind smoke, use special taunts and annoy them into switching Mercs so that they can come and kill you up close.

Nade them, flash them, rush them.
Ofc is someone is super Vaseline, then it’s harder. Take a teammate with you and do the rush together

You can try Phantom…unless its Redeye
Also airstrikes like everlovestruck said

High ping Aura always works.
But there are numerous ways to counter as mentioned. Plus, it’s not often you find a sniper capable of hitting headshots on you constantly.

A good sniper and possibly a good phantom(depemding on where he is)could take out a sniper. Ive taken snipers with phantom from behind but its hard to do

Once you locate them, NEVER run in a straight line toward them, with a tolerance of at least 30 degrees. Then, never run in a straight line anywhere. If the movement of your head is predictable, you won’t get anywhere. Throw in a random duck and serpentine here and there if you really need to cross their path. If you have a wall to run along, do some random wall-jumps, too. Make sure your head is always moving in two dimensions (relative to the sniper).
Or run with another teammate. Hope they take the shot.
Ultimately, put yourself in their shoes. Think about whether what you’re doing is predictable.

Countersniping is probably the most effective
Use a long range like Stark and plink
Jump out from around corners, duck, and fire. Side to side motion is bad against snipers, up and down makes it harder to headshot
Fragger, Rhino, and Thunder cannot be killed from a single head shot while at full health.
