@UP_Hawxxeye Try orbital on solo, and many of the bots will stand still in the open long enough for you to get some good trigger time and learn how much to compensate for bullet drop.

        @UP_Hawxxeye Agreed, the scope glint is way overexaggerated, and if they had to have it, it should be while facing the sun and not while its at the back of the sniper.
