What the Best Sniper Rifle Is in Battlefield V

Recommended Videos

The Battlefield series has returned to the Second World War for Battlefield V but you still choose between multiple classes and weapon types. As usual, the Recon Class sees you use one of the game’s snipers. As you level up, you unlock new ones. So, here’s everything you need to know about what the best sniper rifle is in Battlefield V.

While each sniper rifle in Battlefield V, of which there are seven, has set stats for things like accuracy and damage, a lot of it will be up to personal preference.

Do you like bolt action or self-loading? Do you prioritize damage over control? There are different options for whatever you choose.

However, there are a few that simply feel a little better and work better in the game’s setup.

Since the semi-automatic rifles in the Assault category are good choices in most modes, the self-loading rifles are a little pointless. Here are our choices for the best sniper rifle in Battlefield V.

Lee Enfield No. 4 Mk 1

The first sniper you get, the Lee Enfield No. 4 is probably the best of them all due to its all-around ability and ease of use. Its 72 rate of fire, which is higher than many of the other bolt action rifles, high control, and decent damage make it the perfect choice for players getting used to sniper rifles.

Maybe its best feature, however, is that it is the only one with a clip size of 10. This makes it better for attempting to take out multiple enemies in a row.

Gewehr M95/30

The Gewehr M95/30 unlocks at Recon rank 6 and it improves over the Lee Enfield in terms of damage. You have to sacrifice some control, which will impact recoil, and rate of fire. It also only has five ammo per clip. It’s more likely to take enemies out in one shot though.

Kar98k

The Kar98k, which is the last sniper rifle you unlock, at Recon rank 20, is similar in stats to the Gewehr. Once again, you have to sacrifice some control and rate of fire in favor of damage.

All in all, the Lee Enfield sniper rifle is the perfect choice for an all rounder when you’re looking for the best sniper rifle in Battlefield V.

The others that we have listed above are better if you’re more experienced with sniper rifles and are after pure fire power.
