It goes without saying that sniper rifles are some of best weapons in video games. The feeling of putting a bullet through an enemy’s head from afar is the most satisfying in all of gaming. Combine that with the chaotic freedom of Far Cry, especially the latest entry, and the formula is simply irresistible.
That said, you might be thinking, “Well, I want to give this weapon a try, but what is the best sniper rifle in Far Cry 6?” Well, don’t worry, I got you covered.
So, without any further ado, let’s have a look at the best sniper rifles in Far Cry 6, ranked from the “not bad, but not good” type of best, all the way to the “You’ve basically won the game” type of best.
5The Double Clutch
It may seem a bit of an odd choice at first, especially considering how it doesn’t come with a silencer either, but The Double Clutch is an absolute treat in terms of accuracy.
Since it’s a unique weapon, modifications are out of the question, but with a 3-6 Zoomable Scope, Incendiary Rounds, and a Laser Pointer, it’s still a great rifle regardless.
How to get it: To get this, you need to win the International Waters Relay Gran Premio Race. You’ll get the rifle as a reward for winning the race.
4The Transubstantiator
The Transubstantiator is a Unique variant of the SVD rifle. This allows for the rifle to not be reloaded after every shot, while its ability also heals Dani after an enemy has been killed.
That ability is pretty useful in and of itself, and it comes bundled with an awesome sniper rifle that has good range and is clearly viable at every level of the game – what’s not to like about this weapon?
How to get it: The rifle is located outside the True Yaran Academy at the Noventarmas Cielo Gardens – just make sure to not enter the academy as it is heavily guarded.
3The SVD
There’s not much to say about the SVD other than how it’s a powerful sniper rifle with high customization options and great stats.
It handles pretty damn well, and when you couple it with some armor-piercing rounds and a silencer, you get one of the best sniper rifles in the game.
How to get it: You can obtain the SVD at either of the three Guerrilla Garrison or you can simply purchase it from Juan’s Arm’s Dealers – easy-peasy.
2The El Tirano
Now, even though this weapon isn’t modifiable, the El Tirano is still a highly powerful sniper rifle, second only to the one we’re going to talk about shortly.
With armor-piercing bullets, a 10x scope, and a large silencer, it may not be as fast as the SVD, but it packs a really, really mean punch, making it perfect for taking out enemies from a good long distance.
How to get it: You can find El Tirano in the Escila Fort in Vestosa Peninsula, Barial in Vall de Oro – it’s in a suitcase with a crocodile mark at the top of the lighthouse.
1The MBP .50
The MBP stands is by far the strongest and most-customizable sniper rifle in the game. When properly customized and fully upgraded, the rifle capable of destroying helicopter pilots and armored vehicles with relative ease, trivializing most, if not every enemy encounter within the game – yes, it’s that ridiculous.
Even though the MBP is still slower than the SVD, it makes up for it with far superior firepower. Couple that with five attachment slots and two mod slots, and it’s the perfect weapon for Dani to wreak havoc throughout the land of Yara. Give it some time, and you’ll see how good this weapon really is.
How to get it: While it is easily obtainable from the Guerrilla Garrison (level 3) for 3850 Pesos, you can also receive this as a drop from one of the snipers on the streets of Esperanza (Rank 10 required or by progressing through the story and opening FND caches.
Well, there you have it, those are the best sniper rifles in Far Cry 6. Now, all that’s left to do is to go out on a sneaky adventure through Yara and take out enemies all “The End” style (if you know, you know).
