How much bullet drop is in PR ? Over say, 600m how much do you need to compensate with the sniper kit ?

Jaymz posted something up for rifles, it's 300m for Assault rifles, i think it's 600m for snipers then you start aiming up, but it varies a lot i find...

If your trying to learn how to snipe then I find the best way is to practice on a local server. Setting ranges with move markers at stop signs or the like and fire at those targets to get a feel for the needed compensation. Like scot said there's something posted on it somewhere. I think if varies depending on the rifle and the round being fired also. You could also practice by downloading prsp and killing the bots, I think the bullet drop is the same... not sure though. Good Luck.

At under 600m with the sniper you can just put your cross hair on someone and fire. Above 600m then you have to start aiming up.

Just find a higher position then theirs and you dont have the problem

If your on the same level, just aim 1 and a half headsizes above them and you will hit (600m+)

It's a whole lot less then IRL. Especially at long range.
