[outdated] Sniping Guide
By Liebesleid
Sniping guide so you won't be guessing anymore.

This guide is now outdated, one of the updates esentially changed how scope scaling system worked (which sent the markings to hell), now the markings change depending on your FOV.

Furthermore, another update was added that also removed the original scope markings and replaced them for self-calculated ones.

Concepts
To understand how bulletdrop works in the game, we need to know the stats that modify the travel time and curvature.

Travel:
This one gives how fast a bullet moves, and its calculated as Travel*50=m/s.
For example, in the case of the sabertooth, which has a travel time of 10, we can do 10*50= 500m/s.

Bullet speed:
The product of Travel * 50 is what we will call Bullet speed.
Once we have the bullet speed in m/s, we can easily calculate how long would it take to reach its destination depending on the range by dividing the range we want by the bullet speed. For example, at 250m we just do (250m) / (500 m/s) = 0.5 s
or at 200m we do (200m) / (500 m/s) = 0.4 s

Step:
This one doesn't seem to modify ballistics (if it does please let me know), but travel*step gives the actual range of the gun.

Drop:
This one affects the curvature of the gun. Higher values of drop causes the bullet to curve faster, thats why bows despite having slow arrow speeds have less drop, since their drop is 0.001 instead of the usual 0.002
Before starting
Remember a lot of guns have the same bulletdrops.

For example, the drops for sabertooth are also the drops for Snayperskya, Maplestrike, Zubeknakov, Augewehr, and nearly all assault rifles.

the drops for grizzly are also the same drops for timberwolf, and the drops for ekho are the same for hecate.

Just keep in mind that using a suppressor will increase the drop by 10%, and that using a muzzle will decrease it.
Bulletdrops and Snipers
Here I'll be adding the drops for different weapons, scopes and scope qualities (because the reticle does change from scope off to scope ultra).

I won't add guns with the same drop and travel time, since the same markings should work (for example, Timberwolf and Grizzly).

also keep in mind that drop for suppressor and muzzle are different, as muzzle decreases drop and suppressor increases it. Barrel doesn't change drop.

Grizzly -16x scope -scope OFF
Travel: 12.5
Bullet speed: 625 m/s
Drop: 0.002
Damage: 99 (base damage)
HS damage: 108.9 (1 hit to kill)
HS Helmet damage: 92.5 (2 hits to kill)
Fire rate: 2.38 RPS
Range: 300 m

Sabertooth -16x Scope -Scope OFF -Suppressor
Travel: 10
Bullet speed: 500 m/s
Drop: 0.002
Damage: 60 (base damage)
HS damage: 66 (2 hits to kill)
HS helmet damage: 56.1 (2 hits to kill)
Since travel and drop are the same as maplestrike, these drops also work for most assault rifles (heartbreaker, zubeknakov, maplestrike, snayperskya, augewehr, nightraider,fusilaut, etc).
Sabertooth -16x Scope -Scope Ultra -Suppressor
Sabertooth/ARs -7x scope -Scope OFF -Muzzle
16x Scope
Here I'll be adding the drops for different weapons and scope qualities for the 16x scope.

keep in mind that drop for suppressor and muzzle are different, as muzzle decreases drop and suppressor increases it. Barrel doesn't change drop.

Grizzly -16x scope -scope OFF
Travel: 12.5
Bullet speed: 625 m/s
Drop: 0.002
Damage: 99 (base damage)
HS damage: 108.9 (1 hit to kill)
HS Helmet damage: 92.5 (2 hits to kill)
Fire rate: 2.38 RPS
Range: 300 m
Timberwolf -16x scope -scope OFF
Travel: 12.5
Bullet speed: 625 m/s
Drop: 0.002
Damage: 99 (base damage)
HS damage: 108.9 (1 hit to kill)
HS Helmet damage: 92.5 (2 hits to kill)
Fire rate: 0.98039 RPS
Range: 300 m

Sabertooth -16x Scope -Scope OFF -Suppressor
Travel: 10
Bullet speed: 500 m/s
Drop: 0.002
Damage: 60 (base damage)
HS damage: 66 (2 hits to kill)
HS helmet damage: 56.1 (2 hits to kill)
Since travel and drop are the same as maplestrike, these drops also work for most assault rifles (heartbreaker, zubeknakov, maplestrike, snayperskya, augewehr, nightraider,fusilaut, etc).
Sabertooth -16x Scope -Scope Ultra -Suppressor

Hawkhound, pine rifle, AR and DMR - 16x scope -Scope OFF -No barrel attachment

thanks!

No idea, its a solid choice for vanilla servers
-Deals 80 damage
-Scope is good both for long and short range
-Hawkhound has minimal wear from use
-ammo is common

question: i use the hawkhound with the 7x scope for sniping. why do people laugh at me?
cus cus 25 Apr, 2022 @ 4:34am 
wait what?

Reference pictures don't work anymore. Latest unturned update changed the way scopes work so that they always match your FOV. OFF quality scope's zoom also changes with your FOV, as do the markings on it....
