A Fortnite player has cleverly explained how to hit perfect sniper shots almost every time. Here’s how they laid the pro tip out to others.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 has been full of action and intense gameplay as the loot pool and mechanics have significantly changed. The new weapon mods system has allowed players to modify their weapons according to their preference and playstyle during a Battle Royale match.
Whether attaching a Red Dot on a Shotgun or a 4x Scope to an Enforcer AR, players are getting creative with their weapon builds to be the last man standing and claim the coveted Victory Royale. Snipers have been a hot topic of conversation among all the weapons this season due to their overpowered abilities and damage.
While the Snipers can now be used with smaller or no scope, players still rely on a 4x optic that gives them the optimal view to hit a perfect shot. One such player has shared his wisdom on how to hit perfect snipes every time.
Fortnite player explains Sniper crosshair to hit perfect shots
A Reddit user named Unreal-Memes has shared a hot tip for players who are constantly missing their sniper shots. They went on to explain how the 4x optic on a Sniper Rifle actually works in the game. They said, “If you’re wondering why you’re missing so many snipes, here’s a small guide for you. The middle + is for anything >

In the image above, they displayed how the second line down on the crosshair is perfect for shots at targets within 100 m, the third for within 175 m, the fourth for within 225 m, and finally, the fifth line for targets within 300 m. Anything below that is beyond 300 m and is mostly used for shots with a bullet drop impact.
Upon seeing this ingenious trick, several players had their own opinions and one such player said, “Technically the + should be dialed at 100m.” Another chimed in, “You can use the map markers to measure the distance just in case.”
A third added, “This is insanely helpful maybe now I can snipe.” A fourth user commented, “This is useful in games where you’re actually sniping, as in trying to hit stationary targets. In Fortnite, sniping anything moving at 200-300 m is almost pure luck if it’s a headshot, and hitting anything from 0-100 meters is so easy that you barely need to lead at all.”
