Every Call of Duty: Warzone sniper dreams of hitting that one in a million shot. Whether it is a helicopter flying away or a player standing on a rooftop several blocks away, players continuously fire and miss vital targets. Sometimes, it is simply a matter of the choice of weapon in Warzone, while other missed shots should be fixed with a few simple tips.

There are several factors when it comes to firing at distant targets with a sniper rifle in Warzone. Bullet speed, rifle damage, positioning, and timing all can have massive impacts on a player's ability to hit their target. But focus and shot preparation are equally, if not more, important factors.

With careful research, any player can learn about the weapon they are using. Rather than focusing on the stats of the gun, the loadout of the operator, or the attachments to use, players should always default to what makes them comfortable. What works for other players may not work for all, so make sure to test out each Warzone sniper rifle and get a feel for which has the speed, accuracy, and sight that each player is searching for. Having a comfortable feel for the rifle is the first major step towards successfully hitting longshots.

Although Call of Duty has been filled with quick scoping and fast aiming, every player starts with a steady beat and a patient perch. Waiting for the right moment and the right opportunity can make the difference between a hit and a miss when it comes to long-range warfare. Study the target, understand how they move, look for a pattern, and exploit it. Most importantly, players should take their time with each shot. Rushed shots usually miss, but planned shots almost always hit their mark.

After the target has been studied for at least five seconds, it's the time to line up the shot. Players tend to walk in straight lines, fly in straight lines, and generally move in predictable patterns. To hit those long-shot players should predict where the target is going to be seconds after the round is fired. In most cases, this means adjusting ahead of the target, or above them at extreme distances.

The last and most vital tip is to practice. There is no guide in the world that is going to show players how to instantly hit their shots. Instead, players should take the advice found here and practice shooting at long range to hit non-moving targets. This is as simple as aiming at a bottle, phone, or car from a building over. Simply set up, aim, and fire. After practicing prediction and patience with Warzone's sniper rifles, players will be long on their way to hitting even the furthest shots.

Call of Duty: Warzone is available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
