Best Attachments for Long Range

Long distance shooting is where the SWS-10 truly excels in, and so the setup for this weapon at such ranges should be focused on capitalizing on the weapon's already high range and firepower stats without compromising on any other statistic.

When sniping from high vantage points, the chances of an opposing enemy vehicle coming upon you are high, particularly helicopters and its variants. Having the FXM-33 AA Missile as your go-to gadget in such a scenario will help to dissuade opponents from attacking you from the air, as it will be capable of locking on and hitting moving airborne units.

Best Specialist for SWS-10

The SWS-10 is a powerful long-ranged rifle where Recon-class Specialists will excel in. The only real danger from sniping from afar are airborn enemy vehicles or enemy counter-fire if they see the glint of your scope from the ground, and so having Specialists that can counter these is an effective tool to have when sniping from a distance.

Specialist	Strengths
Paik	Paik's Threat Perception Trait is particularly useful to know where enemy counter-fire is coming from. Hits received from enemy small-arms fire will highlight the player who managed to hit you, allowing players to easily scope and drop a target from where they are.
Casper	Casper's OV-P Recon Drone has the capability of sighting enemies even from far away due to the rather long-range it has before it loses connection. You can simply elevate yourself to the top of a high vantage point, deploy the drone to sight enemies, and sniper from there with little trouble. The Movement Sensor Trait also lets players know whenever enemies are near their location, giving them enough time to prepare for possible close to mid-range combat.
Boris	Boris is definitely not one of the Specialists you'll think of when it comes to sniping, but his SG-36 Sentry System will allow you to make use of it as a defensive mechanic in case enemies will attempt to get close to you. Players who choose to snipe from a distance will largely be left alone by members of their squad or team, and so having that "second gun" defending your position from enemy flanking maneuvers is essential to staying alive.
