skintrade Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 First time? AEG. Sniping is an art form, can be boring, and keeps you out of action far too much in skirmishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would be best? Get good eye pro and a half face mask. First time... break your cherry with an AEG, get in there, get hit, blown up and have fun. And that's coming from someone who prefers to snipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've enjoyed the limited amount of sniping that I've done, but have always packed the MP5K as well and to be honest tend to end up using it as much or more in a typical skirmish.

I was looking into snipers as that's my preferred gaming style on consoles but having watched a few skirmish vids the aeg method looks much more fun so that's the path I'm taking, I might try a sniper at some point but I'm in no hurry to get there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also easier and cheaper as an entry point, as a good sniper rifle will cost more to get "right" than a solid AEG. If you want to get your sniper "eye" try pushing yourself with low caps and single shot usage on a rifle, the reduction in viable range of an AR will make you have to work smarter to not be hit, and every shot count. Both handy things for a long term commitment to sniping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valentine Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Make sure you look into site limited before investing in a sniper too, I really like the ruger one at patrol base but even cerberus states it must be max 500fps (well within that range) and bolt action (the ruger is a gas powered non bolt action) so that ruled that out almost immediately, may still get one for back yard plonking tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Hallowe'en weekend, so I'd say: a spooky ghost. However, I'd strongly urge that you play as a spooky ghost with an AEG, even if the site rents sniper packages. A rental AEG is likely to be 90% as effective as 90% of the other guns there right off the (spooky) bat. Even if you did get given a properly upgraded and well set up sniper rifle as a rental (and a spooky unicorn to ride on, which is about as likely), to actually use it effectively you'd also need to know the site so that you can exploit the few situations where that extra 20 yards or so of range will actually make a difference. I'd hate to see you get frustrated on your first day out, which is more likely than not using a cheap rental bolt action. With an AEG you can have a laugh just spraying and praying.

Ive attached what packages they offer. I dont know which model guns they are to say if they're good or not. Think you're right for spray and pray sounds good for first go. I can always do single shots if i wanted sniper tactics maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of that lot I'd pick the m4 an I'm not even a fan of that particular style of rifle, the lmg looks fun but not suited to carrying around a lot, more of a dug in support gun there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth it for a first session, 10 quid for the BBs so 30 to get 2 guns, a vest, and the mags for the day. You've seen how much buying would cost, so unless you want a 2 tone until you're UKARA registered, the answer is yes. You might decide against this hobby, and that's a good reason to rent to start. Once you've got your UKARA buy the gun or guns that suit your play style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Rogerborg Posted October 25, 2018 Supporters Share Posted October 25, 2018 You'll most likely be doing three rentals before you get your UKARA. AEG package, LMG package, sniper package, epic win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bloody good point actually, have to have 3 games under your belt to get registered so it's a good opportunity if you're going down the rental route rather than two tone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valentine Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Ditto on the waste of cash theory, I'm just waiting on the specna sa-g12 to come back in stock at patrol base before I buy mine, either two tone or "gifted" by an already registered mate I'm not overly fussed which so long as it's mine lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
