Being a successful sniper in Battlefield 2042 is one of the most rewarding experiences in the entire game. These ghosts of the battlefield specialize in killing their enemies from a distance. In order to do this well, the right weapon is absolutely crucial. In this article, I will show you the three most powerful sniper rifles guaranteed to give you success.

1. SWS-10

Starting off this list is the very well-rounded SWS-10. This sniper is a great choice for anybody for a few reasons. It is unlocked right from level one, so you can begin using it immediately. It also has the fastest fire rate and largest magazine size of all the sniper rifles in Battlefield 2042. This gives you slightly more room for error than the other snipers because you can get more shots off in a shorter period of time.

SWS-10 Stats

• Firepower - 85
• Accuracy - 75
• Range - 81
• Handling - 30
• Rate of Fire - 60
• Magazine Size - 10

You can use the SWS-10 immediately as it is unlocked at level 1.

2. DXR-1

The DXR-1 is a sniper rifle I recommend for slightly more skilled snipers. It has a smaller magazine and a slower rate of fire than the SWS, meaning each shot you take is very important. Once you feel comfortable with your skills, the DXR is deadly. It has the longest range and, if equipped with the high power magazine, it has a whopping 90 firepower. This is a perfect weapon for setting up at an extreme distance and picking off enemies on the objective.

DXR-1 Stats

• Firepower - 90
• Accuracy - 77
• Range - 84
• Handling - 22
• Rate of Fire - 40
• Magazine Size - 5 (High Power)

The DXR-1 is unlocked upon reaching level 24.

3. NTW-50

The most unique and powerful sniper rifle on this list is the NTW-50. It is the most powerful in terms of its firepower and its ability to destroy vehicles. However, it has the slowest rate of fire and the smallest magazine of all the sniper rifles. This one comes down to your personal preference. If you want to be able to destroy vehicles and one-shot enemies from the furthest distance possible, this is your gun.

NTW-50 Stats

• Firepower - 95
• Accuracy - 67
• Range - 69
• Handling - 22
• Rate of Fire - 25
• Magazine Size - 4

The NTW-50 is unlocked upon reaching level 60.
