Do you want to learn how to perform the quick scope technique like the best players? Are you tired of being killed with one shot and want to start taking revenge? Follow this guide and you will become a master of this technique before you know it!
Steps
Step 1. Exercise your reflexes
The quick scope is a technique based solely on timing and muscle memory. Practice looking in the viewfinder and learn how long it takes for it to become "active". Put the viewfinder on and off continuously until you can judge the time well.
Step 2. Create quick scope gear
To successfully run a quick scope, you will need some specific accessories and specials before you start playing. Try out this example equipment, and modify it according to your play style and preferences:
- Weapon: L96A1 - the best sniper rifle for quick scope.
- Accessories: Variable Viewfinder or Augmented Magazine. Many people find the Variable Scope to be more accurate in the case of a quick scope, so try it out and notice any improvements. If you can do quick scopes well with the standard scope, use the increased magazine to increase the number of rounds you can fire before needing to reload.
- Specialty 1: Ghost. It hides you from enemy UAVs.
- Specialty 2: Reinforced or Sure Aim. Reinforced allows your bullets to penetrate tougher materials, allowing you to take more hits through walls. Safe Aim improves your accuracy when you're not aiming, and is useful for no-scope shots even if it doesn't affect the quick scope.
- Specialty 3: Marathon. This specialty allows you to shoot for longer periods, which is a great benefit, as being constantly on the move allows you to stay alive longer.
Step 3. Play against the computer
Use Combat Training mode to play against computer-controlled opponents. Set them to easy difficulty so they don't kill you instantly. This will give you the opportunity to practice on many moving targets.
Step 4. Don't move while shooting
While you should always be moving between shots, be sure to stop for a split second while shooting. This way your accuracy will not be affected by movement. As soon as you shoot, start moving again.
Step 5. Practice as much as possible
The quick scope is a skill that derives solely from instinct and muscle memory. You won't be able to do it right away, but don't be discouraged. Keep trying and you'll receive insulting messages from opponents in no time.
Step 6. Understand what "no-scope" shooting means
No-scope means shooting without looking through the sight, i.e. firing the sniper rifle directly from the hip. The shot will almost never go straight to where you have the sights, and will instead be fired randomly into a cone. Safe Aim allows you to reduce this cone, but the shot will still be random. A no-scope shot is almost always a stroke of luck.
