    I would love to see a Part II for this, to address the new sensitivity settings in controller, as well as the deprecation of traction mod and scavenger mods not stacking. The sensitivity settings in particular could do with an expert explanation geared towards sniping.
  • @AstralNestTV
    I'm so jealous of my brethren... I've been forgotten :(
  • Just wanted to say thanks for the great tips my guy. I ain’t a newbie but, I ain’t a pro either, I feel like these tips can really improve my game.
  • The best sniping guide I have seen. I stopped using snipers when beyond light dropped and have been a shotgun ape. But I want to get back to sniping and this comprehensive guide should help a lot. Thanks again for the time and effort you have put into this.
  • @redsun2001
    I feel like with all the changes we've had since this video came out, it deserves an update. Love this type of content.
  • @Heli
    Absolutely rate the effort put into this so highly, still trying to work on my movement myself, and I learned quite a lot from this! There were some incredibly helpful tips here and made very easy to listen to and understand. Fantastic video! (I'll be back in a week or two 👍)
  • @kakDeluxe
    This is one of the most underrated YouTuber ever. You are so thorough with your work, and your videos are in total very well put together. Keep up the great work.
  • This is probably one of the most helpful and informative videos on sniping I've ever seen, great job!!
  • @cosmic7321
    I was waiting so long for this lmao I have gotten better over the last month
  • @shadowranger125
    I think my biggest issue when trying to snipe is that I’m too slow. I guess it’s that my reaction time is slower than it should be because I usually end up getting flinched out of my shot or even just missing an opportunity.
  • @JimmyGainz
    Never account for my mobility and strafe speed when sniping. Literally I was getting double/triple downs with my sniper and then I’ve been missing so much and going from different exotic armours and changing my build constantly and never realizing what’s it’s doing to my consistency as a sniper. Bruh....definitely coming back to vid next week and see how big of difference this video alone has made for me. But on a real note I’ve been waiting for this video! Finally!!!
  • Coming back to this 2 years later and it has helped me a lot in season of the deep
  • @Deadeye_1377
    This video was perfect it’s only been a few days and this has seriously helped! I was a bow main and now improving with sniper I’ll never go back thank you shadow!
  • @MightiestMango
    Just wanted to say that this guide is awesome. There were so many little habits that I picked up before that were not good for sniping. Things like playing cover, the 40-60 rule, and many other tips helped me break those habits. I’m not quite at the point where I can drop 20 kills with a sniper, but I am staying alive more and taking more advantageous gunfights, especially 1vX situations. This video, and many other sniper based videos have been awesome, and they helped me get my first flawless on Trials ever. I hope to get to the point that you are at Shadow, but that is going to be a while. Anyways, wanted to say thank you and keep the uploads coming.
