Ghost Recon Wildlands: Best sniper rifles, and how to get them

Sniper rifles offer perhaps the most variation, rifle to rifle, of any weapon class in Ghost Recon Wildlands.

Every loadout needs one, and you shouldn’t definitely have a collection of scopes and attachments for every sniper in your inventory.

In this guide, we list the 5 best sniper rifles in Wildlands: where to find them, why they’re so good, their stats, and where to find every scope and attachment.

M40A5

HTI

Where To Find: Montuyoc

This can be an extremely tough weapon to use. Its damage and penetration are both near-maxed out, while Accuracy and Range are the best in class.

The problem, however, is that the is a long downtime between shots, so you want to make sure you take out your target promptly. This is probably a great weapon to take out heavy targets, so it’s good to have in your inventory.
