Camp on Higher Ground

The best strategy to achieve long-range kills is to camp higher up where you can scout out vast areas for probable prey. Just watch out for opponents who may sneak up on you, as well as aerial strikes.

Utilize Tactical Equipment and Field Upgrades

Spotter Scope

Recon Drone

You can count the number of your enemies with the help of Recon Drone's manual and automatic marking features, which give you a better aerial perspective of your adversaries.
