Welcome to the world of AWP.



Comparison Inspired By [TH]_Kurama







PROS

-4x and 10x zoom
-lightweight, lighter then PSG1, heavier then Frf2
-has armour piercing "capabality" won't always work
-bolt action is quicker then Frf2, but still slower then the semiauto of PSG and Dragunov
-easy to use in almost every map
-from what I have heard no scoping is easier, I don't no scope so meh :/
-circles on crosshair help for very far range sniping/box campers (bullet drop effect)
-you CAN quickscope, stop saying you can't
-DEADLY accuracy, people will call you laggers because you hit a sliver of their side as they went behind cover
-highest damage gun in the game
-more accurate then any other sniper while in motion (running/jumping)
-possible ss
-easier js's (imo)
-sounds fricken awesome, not really a pro but I don't care, its awesome lol

CONS

-5 bullet magazine
-bolt action makes multi'ing impossible without nades or pistol**
-x10 scope is sensative. no its not a glitch, think logically about it for a sec
-switch weapon time isn't that great
-ability to scope before you can shoot (some may take it as a pro so they can aim but i get pised at it)

**-See Random Tips

Weapon Damage

Arm Shot



Leg Shot



Chest and Head are obvious >.>

Tactics:

Team

Blue Side:

CAMP CAMP CAMP CAMP CAMP:

This is NOT a rushing sniper. If you know what you are doing then yes you can rush, but if you are a noob please do NOT rush with this because it is bolt action and 5 bullets. It has a x10 scope for a reason. People will call you a noob camper but you can simply say "look who's score is better".

Rushing?!?!?!?!?!:

Pretty much the same idea as a Frf2. Its lightweight allows you to move fast, use that to your advantage to surprise the enemy with your position, but make sure you can pinch off a shot and go behind cover, it's bolt action you know. Need an example? Lets say you wanted to sniper rush on blue team in shanghai. Rush to a window, shoot at one enemy and move outside while reloading. Once outside the office if someone is rushing shoot them, proceed behind truck. Shoot at window in ware A and move back behind truck. Keep in mind it's a 5 bullet clip and reload everytime you are safe, even if you have 4 shots left. And by safe I don't mean there is a guy on the other side of the box but he doesn't know I'm here, he will hear you and you beter be good at quickscoping because you get 1 shot before you're dead.


Red Side:

Camping? On Red?

No, leave a 10-15 second window between yourself and the pack, you are a backup player with this weapon. If you choose to go in with the pack you have a greater chance of dying before you can kill more then 1 person. If you camp base be sure there's plenty of room between you and the enemy, the best place for an AWP to camp on red would probably be Nerve.

Rushing HUAHUAHUA

Same as blue, utilize your speed and take cover, best to practice this would be Missle. Dash to the Brown Bomb window and take out your AWP at the last crease in the panels on your way up and immediately aim at the other window. You'll have about 1 sec before someone shows up

Single

lol... just don't... thats worse then singling with a Frf2. Unless you are going to be a noob shang box camper in a single match... don't single with this gun.

CW

Use a PSG. You don't need the AWP's double scope or the Dragunov's 10 bullet mag. since most scrims are 4v4 or 5v5. If its a large game use a Dragunov for its semi auto. If you insist on using AWP then just listen to your guild leader. He'll either have you camp your base, scout, or lay back behind the group.

Random Tips

**-Double Killing and Multi Killing can be extremely difficult due to the bolt action. I personally can not do it in training mode because I don't lag enough. If you lag more then me then its possible. However in game there is a better chance of geting Doubles and Multi's due to others lag. Need an explanation? In training mode, I shoot/it dies, rec0ck name disappears from Kill List, I shoot/it dies. No Double Kill. In a game, I shoot, rec0ck/dies, name APPEARS on Kill List/I shoot, he dies. Double Kill. Discovered by the combined efforts of myself (Nioken) and LookItsKevin.

-To quickscope, scope once for the love of god. There is a ridiculous rumor that the AWP can't quickscope because of its double zoom -.-''. Scope once and shoot. No need for x10 zoom on an enemy thats 20m away.

-Do NOT overuse the x10 scope. Its a nifty feature sure, but only use it when you NEED to as it is incredibly sensative and you WILL misjudge how fast the person will come from behind the wall/box and miss.

-ABSOLUTELY DO NOT TAKE A SHOT IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE. I've seen people shoot at people that have ALREADY gone behind walls on the offchance they'll come back out 1 second later. You can't afford doing that with the AWP. Play smart.

-Being rushed? Pinch off a shot at the closest person. If you hit or not, go back behind cover. If they die, repeat. If not switch to a knife/nade/pistol and gtfo of there.

-This is a nifty trick I learned in KSF and it can be used with any sniper but works best with AWP because of its high damage. Hit someone in the leg or the arm as they are rushing you and they are too close to shoot again? Use your pistol (bereta works best). "Oh well thats common sense Nioken". Oh really, whens the last time you did it o.O. Lol but more seriously, don't underestimate your bereta. Go into training mode on Missle OR Shang, get an enemy about 50m away and shoot it in the leg, and then finish it with your pistol. To give you an idea of the best "pistol finishing" distance, from the far corner of the green truck in the middle of Missle to the far corner near the entrance to brown bomb via middle. People will "..."





-Prescoping doesn't hurt, just listen for people that are anywhere near you and always keep in mind that you have to go through another scope before you are in normal view again. It takes 3 clicks to go from normal > x4 > x10 > normal and you don't want to get blind sided.

-When x10 scoping people behind boxes at a FAR range (ex shang boxes) aim at the TOP of their heads. It will hit the box if you aim at their forehead. To make it easier to aim at a person that is ducking behind a box but isn't revealing his head and you know he's there (ex the famous sniper showdown on shang) you can use my "Circle Measurement Method". This was made by me.

What Not To Do



This will hit the box, and here's a picture



Nioken's Circle Measurement Method



WOW that looks WAY off Nio! Yeah I thought so too at first but...



I was too lazy to put the mm of space between the circle and the top of the box for a tutorial so thats a little higher then what it should be but thats how you hit them. Place the first circle on the botom at the top of the box. -credit to gj3419 for reminding me cause I'm an idiot and forgot to include my own method -.-''

-REPAIR AFTER EVERY GAME! Essential for the sniper to unleash its full potential.
WARNING! IT IS EXTREMELY COSTLY! 120-170 SP A GAME! - credit to gj3419 for reminding me

Thing you need:

AWP [of course]
Quick Weapon Switch item [22 g-coins for 7 days]
Knife

How to do it

Shoot with AWP.
Switch to knife as soon as you shoot.
Switch back to AWP as soon as you switched to knife.

What this does?
well, this makes you shoot faster because you have quick weapon switch. This is actually less time consuming then waiting for your character to Bolt-C0ck the AWP.


And this is the x0 x4 x10 scope





i hope u will like my guide

[timelist]

good job dude, but its kinda long (in a good way)
i will buy the awp when i get the chance

[BrunoCesar1989]

not bad if you take your time to read it although awp is by far the worst sniper in my opinion just and for what you said about fr2 in a 1 vs 1 for me it is the best gun to use in that situation

[imakehacks]

Nice one. For the Quick weopon switch and sswitch to knife we do that all the time in CSS. Since the Awp in CSS when you shoot bolt action happens and it zooms back. Then we have to scope twice to get rid of it. Oh yeah I played a game with you. With Superbob.

How many G Coins will the AWP be?

[xxcoderxx]

Ya I played you before to.... Alls I gotta say is gg PSG-1>AWP lol But, I'm still getting AWP And I thank you for effort because every body here hardly gives any effort and some of the stuff i didn't know which the main one was about where to aim for box campers -.- ty.
