one shot one killed yet plenty of
options welcome to watchmojo.com and
today I’ll be counting down our picks
for the top ten sniper rifles in video
games stompin – good job Mike
for this list we’ll be examining the
wide spectrum of high-powered high
precision rifles in gaming spotlighting
those that we find best balanced style
and practicality as usual we’re placing
a limit of one gun per game or franchise
number 10
sniper rifle Team Fortress 2 hit chalked
the signature weapon of the sniper
character from Team Fortress 2 this
single-shot rifle is known for being
incredibly deadly in the right hands it
is completely accurate in aim with no
loss of damage potential due to drop-off
and a guaranteed critical hit whenever
used for headshots
the rifle can also be allowed to charge
up for a damage increase meeting
ordinary bullets to the limbs and torso
of an opponent can result in extremely
debilitating injuries plus sits straight
board visual design resembling a hunting
rifle gives it a certain charm
I think his mic saw me number nine long
shot Gears of War series when combating
subterranean foes one needs the finest
in precision weaponry enter the long
shot a high-powered rifle developed by
the coalition of ordered government’s
for use during the pendulum warrants its
appearance in the Gears of War Games
sees it serving as the main weapon of
choice for fast get accurate shooting
and it’s the only weapon that can really
target those that are currently in cover
furthermore the long shot doesn’t need
to get a head shot to critically wounded
kill enemies just one round fired at any
body part is potentially fatal no matter
what number 8 HK MSG 90 silent scope
[Music]
sometimes one gun is enough such is the
case for the arcade game silent scope
where players take the role of a sniper
combating terrorists trying to attack
the American first family
err hone your single weapon of choice
though never specifically named is
functionally a life-size recreation of
the HK MSG 90 sniper rifle mounted into
the arcade cabinet and featuring a tiny
screen inside the scope to act as the
zoom it’s efficient deadly and was
really really cool the first time you
tried it back in the arcades
[Music]
you
number seven headhunter Bulletstorm the
2011 first-person shooter Bulletstorm
features a healthy arsenal of
interesting weapons though few prove
more gratifying than the headhunter
sniper rifle fer starters the headhunter
fires explosive rounds meaning every
shot taken has the potential to cripple
or decimate foes on impact what takes
this rifle into cathartic territory
though is its special scoped mode which
allows players to control the trajectory
of rounds fired in essence this ensures
that those gamers who like to torment
their enemies before eliminating them
will be sufficiently satisfied
[Applause]
number six crossbow
half-life 2 definitely an unconventional
choice but no less worthy of being made
this seemingly innocuous weapon is found
by theoretical physicist turned
resistance fighter gordon freeman on his
journey along Highway 17 in half-life 2
however once taken into battle
the crossbow proves itself as a good
addition to Gordon’s arsenal it can zoom
in precisely and it fires red-hot steel
rebar that can pin combine soldiers to
surfaces few things are as morbidly
amusing as sticking a combine grudge to
a wall by their head or arms to say
nothing of the clear killing power on
display it’s fun and it’s useful how can
you go wrong number 5 biotic rifle
overwatch wielded by the Egyptian bounty
hunter Anna the biotic rifle is a
prototype sniper rifle that heals people
specifically the rifle fire starts that
will heal allies and damage enemies
depending on who is targeted
the biotic rifles use as a support
weapon for keeping teams moving while
wounding foes is undeniable helping it
to stand out amidst more similar
firearms in the game that the darts can
be fired linearly from the hip or more
precisely thanks to the rifles hitscan
ability is definitely a bonus I have you
in my sights
number 4 sniper rifle Goldeneye
double-oh-seven
[Music]
the classics will never die case in
point
Goldeneye blows haven’t introduced or
solidified many conventions of the
first-person shooter genre including the
presence and functionality of a sniper
rifle this games take on the sniper
rifle could be obtained as early on as
the first mission letting players take
potshots at Soviet adversaries from
safety
the sniper rifle packed in a suppressor
and a sight with adjustable zoom range
and was quite usable even at a short
distance Plus since you’re James Bond
you can dual wield two sniper rifles
which doesn’t make sense but don’t think
about it too much simple though it may
be in design and capabilities the sniper
rifle is burst 2 now and balanced enough
to be worth remembering with fondness
[Music]
number three sniper rifle system nine
nine anti-material halo series while we
may have a certain fondness for the type
50 sniper rifle system
it’s the SR 99 that sticks out the most
for us this anti-material family of
sniper rifles is a recurring element of
the Halo games acting as the UNSC s
prime choice of weapon in matters that
require brutal yet precise measures
[Music]
consistent elements of a sniper rifle
system 99 line include a semi-automatic
firing mode multiple high magnification
settings for its scope and
armor-piercing rounds capable of
obliterating vehicles it’s always good
to have a reliable and damaging gun on
one side and these fit the bill nicely
number two Farsight XR 20 perfect dark
[Music]
technically a handheld railgun with an
unorthodox scope the XR 20 nevertheless
is a sniper rifle of immeasurable power
at its core its unique alien design
catches your eye right off the bat from
its shiny blue coloring to its strange
angles in shape beyond its appearance
though the far sight proves useful
thanks to its one key detail its energy
blasts can go through any number of
walls and will kill enemies instantly
used in conjunction with the weapons
secondary mode which contract enemies as
you aim this makes for very one-sided
battles before we unveil our top pick
here a few honorable mentions
[Music]
number one
AWP magnums sniper rifle counter-strike
series there’s no doubt this is the
powerhouse to end all powerhouses
brought in to the bold in the original
Counter Strike the off has endured as a
deadly if controversial weapon when used
correctly its notoriety stems primarily
from its sheer power which enables it to
one hit kill opposing players should
bullets hit them anywhere but the legs
add in a highly precise scope and the
ability to penetrate through multiple
players and what you have is a
terrifying one shot kill tool of
destruction
beware the off in the hands of
professionals there will be no mercy
afford to you headshot no skills new
hahaha so do you agree with our list
I’ll be honest with you my parents do
not care what’s your favorite sniper
rifle from video games for more precise
