Hello guys, I have collected a heap of certs and I want to boost my NC infiltrator. What is the best NC sniper rifle out there you can get?

Thanks a Lot

It's all about that Longshot.

The Boltdriver is fine.

The Longshot is better but not much better.

No, it's actually about the 2 damage values. IE Longshot and the 2 other faction equavalents are 800 damage. EVERY OTHER BOLT ACTION IN THE GAME IS 750 damage. All the faction sniper rifles have an exact mirror as of one of the updates that put the Longshot in line with the other 2 800 damage rifles.

Bullet velocity was not part of this test. If you want the best bullet velocity then you need the 800 damage sniper rifles. Otherwise the Alpha Squad versions at the 2nd best with 750 damage and like 50 less velocity.

Just realized you may not have been attacking me... if not then I apologize for sounding hostile.

As a TR Infilitrator, let me tell you... I hate the Longshot... so yeah, get that one (seriously - its deadly).

Oh good, just what the NC needs, more snipers!

I went for the LA80 but I think the Bolt Driver is ok as well and I used that during beta.
You'll get use to what ever you choose.

As much as I hate the RAMS .50M hitting me I bet.
I still need to buy the Paralax. Still using my Alpha Squad enabled V10

I use the LA80... a while back it had the highest bullet velocity before they put in the Longshot and nerfed the LA80... go figure.

That said, it's a helluva rifle.

I like to use the 100 cert rifle... I forgot the name of it, but it's the first semi-auto sniper rifle for the NC. Since I like to aim for mostly headshots, I use it because it has more rounds in the clip, I don't have to stop to reload after every shot, and I can get more shots off quicker which means more kills quicker. Although, if I have to shoot from extreme distances (let's just say 300m for now), I use the Bolt driver paired with the 12x scope. extremely deadly if you have someone spotting for you...

Was testing it out on VR range. Turns out the shotgun with pump action and slug ammo is the best sniper rifle.
