Do You know these 5 Advanced Tips and Tricks for snipers in Red Dead Online?

5 advanced tips and tricks for sniping in red dead online like how to use your sniper rifle without a scope which ammo type scope or ability cards should you choose or even how to can they use sniper rifle with auto aiming umbridge issues that even experienced players will find interesting and useful information here first tip you can use karkano rifle or rolling block rifle without scoping just like this you're basically using hip fire by just pressing the fire button without aiming button but when you're gonna do it while on your feet you will probably hit no one because sniper rifles has extremely low accuracy when hip firing but if you are mounted there is no difference between hip fire and using a scope what do i mean by that is when you are using sniper rifles this way you still getting perfect accuracy and no damage reduction with distance auto aiming is disabled just like if you were using a scope but you will still have aim assist and it's extremely strong at the moment it's even possible to aim before actually making a shot but only on controller to do so you just have to press the fire button which is rt or r1 but just a little bit and here you go now you can aim and when you want to make a shot you just fully press the fire button this aiming before shot is not available on mouse and keyboard because otherwise it would have been super overpowered and so far actually i think that it works as intended it's not a bug or something actually this trick is not something new it's been known since beta but during my tests i found some features that makes it extremely powerful as i've already told you shootings this way you have no damage reduction with distance and you have perfect accuracy and you know what does it mean it means that you can use slippery bastard ability card and you will not miss while other players and npcs who are using unscoped repeaters rifles or let's say pistols or revolvers on a meter to long ranges will just miss you all the time needless to say that if some other player is using slippery bastard you will hit him as well but there was a little trick on how to activate slippery bastard because technically you're not aiming so you have to go to scope mode activate the die and then just remove scope and go for this hip fire mode and your the dive will be active this is gonna be extremely useful in pve in some situations because if you will practice good enough with free aiming you will easily land your shots on npcs and they will just missing you all the time and even if your rifle doesn't have short scope you will have no problems killing these npcs on a closer distances in pvp it can be useful as well because too many players rely on auto aiming or painted black ability card and yes your horse can be killed because it's not protected by slippery bastard but most of the time your opponents will be trying to aim at you and you will have some time to kill them before they will realize what's going on i'm not saying that you have to use this trick as a primary strategy but you need to have it in your arsenal because it can be extremely useful in some situations on some distances before we will continue i have to mention in this video i'm gonna be talking about advanced stuff and if you are looking for some basic sniping guide go check the link in the description there you will find optimal settings and basic tips and tricks second tip is about which armor type you want to use with your sniper rifles and here i'm pretty sure that i will surprise you even if you are like level 500 or more in red dead online in pvp it's super obvious you just want to use express ammo because it has higher damage on any distance than any other ammo type except explosive of course but in pve it's much more interesting and i was really surprised when found it out so did you know that karkano rifle has higher damage against npcs and rolling block rifle if we're using split point ammo or express ammo take a look here it's a weapon starts at data miner randy light found in the game files and sent me rolling block split point ammo damage is 91 express ammo damage is 100 kurkana rifles split point ammo damage is 94 and express ammo damage is 102. yes difference in damage is not that significant but karkana rifle has much higher fire rates and rolling block rifle so you have to choose it if you want to use express or split point ammo in pve but you might ask why rolling block has higher damage in pvp because of the player versus player modifier for rolling block rifle it's 2.2 and for carcano rifle it's 1.8 but against npcs this multiplier is always equal one so i assume rockstar wanted to make rolling block rifle as a pvp focused weapon and carcana rifle as pve focused weapon but on practice i think that crocano rifle is at least not worse than rolling block rifle even in pvp next up is about scopes that you want to use on your sniper rifles as i showed in one of my previous videos the main difference between short medium and long scope is zoom scope type does not affect aiming time or damage that you do obviously we want to use short scope for the closer distance fights i would say less than repeater or rifle lock on range mid scope when the distance is equal to lock on range or a little bit higher and long scope for the huge distances otherwise there are some things that you have to know about sniper rifles maximum distance from which you can do damage to opponents is equal to 1000 meters is a huge distance on which you will probably not gonna be able to land your shots even with a lone scope so just don't worry about it anyway on practice i suggest you to use medium scope if you're using only one sniper rifle in your build that's how you will stay balanced plus you will practice using the medium scope which will be super useful in a hardcore pvp showdown series because there are rifles with medium scopes but if you have two sniper rifles in your setup i suggest you to use long scope for the rolling block rifle and short scope for the carcano rifle because with the short scope cocaine rifle is extremely powerful even on the closer distances like pistol revolver lock on range or even closer but remember when we're talking about scopes it doesn't matter which size do you have it's more important whether you practiced and learned how to use it properly next advice is about ability cards that you want to use with your sniper rifles so first of all you need to use sharp shooter or ability card it's just too strong when you're using sniper rifles because you're gonna get extra damage and extra damage resist it's a no-brainer for sniper rifles and yes it only works when you scoping but you almost always coping with sniper rifles unless you are using this first tip from this widow anyway if you're using kraken rifle i will also suggest you to add one additional damage ability card to sharpshooter to make sure that you will make one shot body kills against players who does not have tonic or some defensive ability builds i think that big condition is the best choice here and yes of course we have to use express ammo next ability card will depend on situation especially dead eye ability guards for example if you taking part in sniper vs sniper bottles you don't want to use slippery bastard because it will give you nothing or even slow and steady because again you don't worry about headshots in the sniper western sniper battles but you will have your movement speed decreased and you will be in a huge disadvantage because of this so you would rather use focus fire on the other hand if there are players who use painted black or auto aiming against you slippery bastard is good and slow and steady is extremely good so i'm trying to say that there is no one perfect build for all situations and you just have to choose wisely and understand under which condition you will be fighting and the last one is a useful but kind of obvious tip plus some interesting trick so there was a fast weapon swap option in red dead and lines that you definitely have to use in all situations it works like this and a weapon will you choose the weapons that you want to have fast access to and press x on xbox square on ps controller or right button mouse on a pc and now each time when you want to fast swap to this weapon you just press lb l1 or tab on a keyboard as i said it's just an extremely useful feature in all red dead online situations but you can use it in very specific way to give your sniper rifle sort of an auto aiming to do it you just have to set rolling block rifle for a fast swap and then when you will auto aim with some other weapon i don't know repeater or revolver on attacker just fast swap to the rolling block i want to give credit to john sly reckon for telling me about this feature because when this fast swap was released i was trying to do this with carcano rifle and it didn't work because you cannot shoot after you swap the crocodile rifle immediately but he told me that you can do it with roll and block rifle and yes it really works by the way don't use this when you are mounted because swapping weapons when you mount it takes a lot of time and again i don't suggest you to use this as your primary strategy but it's a trick that can be useful in some situations especially after you will practice it enough at least you can show this trick to your friends in any way i hope you enjoyed this video and all these tips and tricks and thank you for watching like
