The final TR sniper is the most powerful in the game. The VS snipers all suck, and the NC starting rifle is almost as good as their most expensive one, with the only difference being round velocity.

Here's a protip if you want to snipe but don't like being an infiltrator stuck with their rifles.

Buy a shotgun, upgrade it with slug rounds and a x4 or x6 scope ( whichever is available ) and tadaa, you've built a makeshift sniper rifle. It kills with two shots in the head or three body shots, it's perfectly accurate ( if you're Vanu it doesn't have any bullet drop ) and if you buy the right shotgun it's also automatic so still quite useful in close quarters, especially if you also have the extended magazine.

I use this on my light assault for long-range engagements all the time and it works amazingly.

You see that? You get a jetpack so you can reach that perfect sniper's nest on top of a tall structure or terrain element and ALSO get a deadly long-range scoped weapon!

Last time I checked Infiltrators couldn't get shotguns...

They could in the beta, but then it was removed. But why would you want a slug gun on an infiltrator? They've already got real sniper rifles and scout rifles.

Concerning upcoming events, or server merges.
My server, Soltech, is to be merged with the Matterson server, home of The Enclave and a multitude of other large, *, outfits led by *. I'll try it out but this might very likely lead to me changing my main character to another server.
Since you guys want to go TR, I probably won't bring my main character to Genudine though.

Tonight's score was much improved, with seven kills to a mere twenty deaths. Six of those kills happened in the first fifteen minutes, and then I only managed one in the two hours that followed. I have no idea why.

Have you tried to go for the lowest spread build with the laser site on you guns? When crouching with a laser site, your shots become pretty accurate at medium ranges.

I don't have enough certs to afford anything. I've only earned 90 certs, and 30 of those I spent on a new sight already. I'm slowly working my way up again. I do think I'm getting better, though.

How do I get a MAX?

When you press E on a gun terminal, there's an option for MAX, and it costs infantry resources.

Cool. I don't think I'd actually used an infantry terminal before. I generally don't survive long enough for it to matter. Today I played as a MAX. I walked into a room (I had full health) and found an enemy MAX facing away from me. I, of course, opened up on him with both my weapons, the machine gun and the cannon thing. I shot him over and over for a good five seconds, and then he turned around and shot me once, and I died. So now I'm not playing MAX anymore.

However, I got 11 kills today, mostly as Infiltrator. I've finally got 100 certs, so I can actually buy stuff now. Is the forward grip worth it for my sniper rifle, or should I get a new rifle instead? How much does that actually decrease the recoil? Would a rifle I can get for 100 certs be worth losing my 10x scope?

EDIT: I've got enough certs to afford the first bolt-action sniper rifle, which has improved damage and accuracy at the cost of much reduced rate of fire. I think I'm probably going to go for that unless anyone knows a reason not to.

What race? Because bolt-actions are much much better than rapid fires. Get one.
