It's time to change some things around here...
We have talked about SMGs and some ARs but I barely mentioned sniper rifles and I honestly think they deserve a Top 3 as well. Let's dig into which ones are the best in this class. Naturally, we'll also leave you with several details about the weapon itself and how you can easily get it. Take notes, because this will be helpful for those who either love sniping or haven’t unlocked diamond camo for sniper rifles yet. Let’s get started.
3. Type 99
Probably the fastest sniér rifle in the game right now. That ADS speed comes with a price though: less damage. What puts this rifle at the bottom of this list is that it’s less forgiving than the next ones. You’ve gotta be extremely accurate and aim either for the head or the chest to get one-shot kills, which might be a bit of a pain for those who’re new to sniping. That being said, the Type 99 is super fast and makes you feel like you can take the whole enemy team on your own. If you’re gonna play aggressively, keep in mind that this rifle has a slow fire rate, which is why I’d recommend keeping some distance.
What makes the Type 99 great:
- Insanely fast ADS speed
- Good sprint to fire time
- Quick scoping feels amazing with this rifle
How to Get the Type 99: unlocked at the start of the game.

2. 3-Line Rifle
“A trustworthy friend”. Yup, that’s just how I see this sniper rifle. Why? Because you can always count on it for difficult situations or some crazy ideas (like 360s), there might be times when this friend lets you down though. Let’s cut the awkward metaphor now, what I mean is the 3-Line rifle will one-shot people most of the time, but there is a small chance it won’t, so you gotta be careful. As I said, it is a reliable sniper and has a fast and snappy ADS time, high damage, and great accuracy. However, the reload time tends to take forever, because it reloads bullet by bullet, so you better get to cover when doing it.
What makes the 3-Line Rifle great:
- High Damage
- Deadly and snappy
- Very consistent
- Friendly and comfortable for new players
How to Get the 3-Line Rifle: unlocked at experience level 22.

1. Gorenko Anti-Tank Rifle
The Gorenko… wow! This sniper rifle practically kills every player or dog with one bullet. It is extremely lethal and what’s even better: it is accurate as heck, too. You can hip fire people at close range and still get the kill. There’s one bad thing about this rifle though and that’s its mobility. You might have some trouble when trying to be fast and sneaky with the Gorenko, but you can always pair it with a light secondary weapon.
What makes Gorenko great:
- 1 shot kills
- Extremely reliable
- Decent fire rate
- Controllable recoil
