The art of sniping is the hardest to master in BGMI. However, players who have grinded hard on training grounds or in classic matches have excellent control over their weapons. They knock down enemies with a single headshot from long-range using the Bolt Action Rifles in the game.

The 1.9 update has brought in several changes, along with a difference in the damage stats of weapons. This has affected the use of different Bolt Action Rifles.

Arctic Warfare Magnum (AWM) is known to create chaos on the battlegrounds of BGMI as it possesses the highest damage dealing capacity per bullet. AWM is exclusively found in airdrops in classic and custom mode matches. The sniper rifle has the power to knock out or eliminate any player wearing a Level 3 helmet.

However, players using the gun must be careful not to waste bullets as they only get 25 shots in the airdrop.
