Best Attachments for Mid to Long-Range

The DXR 1 is arguably one of the best long-range sniper rifles in the game thanks to its 2-hit-kill capability at any range and its minimal bullet drop.

A 4x magnification scope will not have a sniper glint to give your position away, so the best mid-range scope for the DXR 1 is the Raven 4x while the SDS 10x will be your best long-range scope. The Raven 4x can also be used for long-range with the correct bullet drop calculation.

The High-Power magazine will be the best ammo type to use. There isn't a good reason to use the other ammo attachments on the list if the gun is being used as a mid to long-range weapon.

For the barrel attachment, the Extended Barrel will be the best one on the slot. This will further improve the bullet velocity and reduce bullet drop at longer ranges.

Best Specialist for DXR 1

Specialist	Strengths
Mackay	Mackay's Grappling Hook speciality will let you easily access more vantage points to snipe enemies from.
Sundance	Spawning from high places will let Sundance use her Wingsuit trait to access far-off rooftops without using air vehicles.
