Sniping is an art that only a few BGMI players have mastered to date. However, many players still try to emulate them and practice sniping in the classic BR mode matches.

While there are different Bolt Action Rifles present in the game, only a few are tailor-made for long-range sniping (which is the primary task of a single-shot sniper). Therefore, it becomes important for players to choose the right weapon to improve their sniping skills.

  • Ammo: 7.62 mm
