When to use Marksman Rifles
Marksman rifles are semi-automatic long guns for Recon players who want sniper-like damage without a bolt action. Every trigger pull fires, so follow-up shots come quickly.
The SVD (7.62x54R) and the BMR-308 (.308) hit for roughly two and a half to almost three times the damage of a 5.56 rifle per chest hit; the BMR-308 is the harder hitter of the two. The SKS loads loose rounds and is the early option on the Recon track.
Use a marksman rifle to cover your squad from medium to long range, especially around towers and open valleys. A 3–6× optic suits most engagements; switch to a bipod if you plan to hold one spot.
