Recon Class | The Basics
The Recon Class is the standard Sniper — lone wolves that support their allies by carefully picking off enemies from a distance. There are only a handful of sniper rifles, and generally the Recon is the most advanced class. They deal high damage with their powerful and accurate rifles, but will down quickly. Always stay on the move and prioritize aggression. A solitary, stationary sniper is a dead sniper.
- Stealth is key. Use Medium Range Optics, Flash Hiders or Suppressors to make your sniper harder to spot. Using medium optics does not generate weapon glint. Your scope won’t flash when players look at you. This makes staying concealed easier. Shooting is slightly trickier with a weaker scope, but for a good sniper, stealth is more important. Alternatively, you can use binoculars to sight enemies before aiming-down-sights to avoid glint.
- Change your camo to muted colors for extra stealth. Generally, players are easy to spot in BattleBit so you’ll need to use every advantage you can get. Stay on the move and don’t hide in one place after shooting an enemy. Always keep moving!
- Use Claymores and Anti Personnel Mines to booby trap your location — but don’t place them too close. Place them in tall grass to score ambient kills. If you’re using Sniper Decoys, make sure to place them far away from your sniping position. That thing will just alert everyone to your current position if it’s nearby. Just like claymores or mines near common sniper nests.
- To shoot accurately, always pick guns with higher velocity. Once you unlock the Ranger muzzle, you’ll want to use it every time. It adds extra damage and velocity to shots. Remember if you’re aiming up (above the horizon) or at very long range, you’ll need to aim slightly higher to compensate for bullet drop.
- Switch to the Sidearm in close combat. Switching to sidearm is always faster than reloading or waiting on the bolt-action cycle of your rifle.
- And always focus on objectives! Kills aren’t worth much XP in BattleBit. As a sniper, you should always focus on helping your squad progress toward and take the objective. Whether you’re picking off key players, forcing the enemy into cover or wiping out a crowd of slow healers, the sniper shouldn’t chase personal glory. Teamwork is still key.
Those are just a handful of basic tips to get you started. As you progress up the ranks, you’ll gain levels and unlock new weapons and accessories.
Best Sniper Rifle Builds
There are three major Sniper Rifles you’ll want to use — the starter and two later rifles that can kill from across the map.

Other accessories like optics are personal preference, you can choose Sniper Optics that cause weapon glint or Medium Range Optics that don’t have any glint.
