Specialist | Best weaponry Battlefield Hardline Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

In Battlefield Hardline, specialists can choose from two types of sniper rifles. One of them is bolt-action rifles, where you need to place a bullet in the chamber, and semi-automatic ones. The former ones deal lots of damage and they have been designed for long distances. Semi-automatic rifles, on the other hand, are very weak in this installment of the game. They deal as much damage as the SA-58, mentioned in the previous sub-chapter, at twice as low rate of fire. This is why none of the semi-automatic rifles has been mentioned in the chapter about the best weapons.

Number of shots to kill

Scout elite deals relatively low damage, as for a bolt-action rifle. At each distance, you need to shoot the enemy twice, on the chest or once on the head.

Attachments

Scout elite is a sniper rifle that is perfect for aggressive combat, side-by-side with enforcers, or operators. For this purpose, the ACOG (4X) or TA 648 (6X) sight is perfect.

The accessory that the sniper is going to find the most useful is the Straight Pull, which allows you to fire two bullets in a row, while remaining scoped in.

The sniper rifle needs no other attachments.

Upsides

Scout elite is the best bolt-action sniper rifle for an aggressive sniper. Its rate of fire is the highest of all and also has the greatest ammo capacity, whereas the bullet's nozzle velocity is the highest. Also, this rifle is highly accurate, as regards hip shooting.

Downsides

The greatest downside of this rifle is relatively low damage dealt. It does not kill in one shot into the chest, at any range. Often, you get only one opportunity and if you miss the head, you do not have enough time left to take another shot.

Number of shots to kill

The .300 KNOCKOUT is a weapon that deals the highest damage in the game. Up to the distance of 50 meters, this rifle kills in one shot to the chest. Above that distance, you require two shots to the chest, or one to the head.

Attachments

This rifle has been designed for long-range combat. What is appropriate for it, then, is the Rifle Scope (8X) or the Hunter (14X), depending on the map.

The accessory that the sniper will find the most useful is the Straight pull, which allows you to take another shot, while still scoped in.

The sniper rifle needs no other attachments.

Upsides

The greatest and, actually, the only advantage of this rifle is damage dealt. This is the only weapon in the game that kills the opponent in one shot to the chest, at the range of 50 meters.

Downsides

This rifle is useless in an aggressive game. Its ammo capacity and rate of fire are too low for that. Inarguably, a big disadvantage is also not too high bullet's nozzle velocity, which makes you compensate for the speed, or the distance of the target.
