8 Refund

Close Quarts Sniping For An Element Of Surprise

• Main points of interest: Bedroom Overwatch and Broken Foundation
• Open spaces and upper rooms are high vantage points, while tunnels and interior spaces allow for strategic sniping in tight spaces, especially if players anticipate enemy movement.

Payback may seem like an intimidating map for sniping as a new player, but don't underestimate the power of long-range combat in this beauty. With lots of tight interior spaces, snipe can thrive in close combat and players can snipe outside from these interior spaces through broken foundations and windows.

Inner positions may seem less conventional, but they are incredibly effective at predicting enemy movements and protecting the team. Quick repositioning between spaces makes it easier to keep pressure on and stay out of sight.

7 Hideout (season 1 released)

Sniper's Paradise: Versatility

• Main interest: Bunker
• Extended sight lines give snipers an opportunity to pick off enemies from a distance and take advantage of the open spaces, rooftops and scattered obstacles.

Sniping requires accurate positioning, patience and an ability to read the flow of the game, making the right map selection critical to success. Released with Black Ops 6 first new season, Hideout is the perfect map for a mix of ranged and melee combat. Hideouts' longer sight lines make for distant fights and easy kills, eliminate flankers and campers with a sniper from one of the many cargo crates or the bunker down in the bunker.

Whether players are positioned on a high vantage point or along the edges of the map, the Hideout's expansive layout makes it easier to line up those long-range shots.

6 Horizon

• Multiple levels provide high vantage points and wide-open corridors provide opportunities for long-range engagement.

Skyline stands out as a map designed with snipers in mind. This luxurious two-story resort features large, tall view windows, wide corridors and outdoor spaces, making it an absolute playground for skilled long-range snipers. Skyline offers excellent opportunities to take down enemies from sharp corners while minimizing the risk of retaliation, allowing players to dominate critical areas of the map and pick off targets before they even have a chance to react.

The roof's elevated position gives players a wide, unobstructed view of the key pool area, lanes and goals, making it an incredibly powerful place to control the flow of the game. Enemies moving through the main areas of the map, whether trying to push forward or retreat, are often forced to move along the upper corridor or stairs, making these prime locations for players to take advantage of.

Sniping In The Snow

• This open range map with many coves and small structures makes for great long range firefights.

Whether players are perched atop snow-covered vantage points, holding down the excavator, or hiding behind wreckage, Vorkuta snipers offer a variety of ways to pick off enemies from long distances while staying protected. To really dominate this blizzard map, having the right sniper rifle and a good set of score lines will yield an easy victory.

4 Abandoned

Strategic cover and concealment

• Main interest: Tower
• The top floor of the abandoned structures gives players high ground to observe important targets and enemies from a distance.

IN Black Ops 6Derelict stands as one of the most versatile and sniper-friendly maps in the game, capable of turning even the most novice into deadly threats. Seemingly set in a post-apocalyptic urban wasteland, the map features abandoned buildings, a ruined central train coach, and the perfect tower for new snipers and seasoned pros alike.

Players who want to enjoy a good snipe on a fairly large map will appreciate the range of Derelict. Equip the sniper with an optic that provides just enough zoom to reach from one end of the tracks to the other, precision is key, but don't go overboard with the magnification.

The open lines of sight across the arena give players plenty of opportunity to pick targets, while the cover of the ticket booth and other points of interest allow players to peek in and out to stay hidden. This map is ideal for snipers who prefer to hold back and control the flow of the game from a safe distance, ensuring that the other team has to think twice before rushing forward.

Eyes on the Prize: Track enemies every turn

• Main points of interest: Tower Control and Helipad
