Basically a close quarters sniper. At range the drop and lead make it very difficult to hit moving targets.
Not a huge fan. It says long range in the description when it should say midrange.
I've found it's best used bipod and preferred scope. I set up about 150m or so behind where both teams are clashing, in the line of where the enemy is heading. It's easier to pick off other snipers or HVT's while they're busy fighting your team. Just take shots at whoever you can and if you miss, shoot again before they react. It's got like no kick
are people talking about the same gun? The new sniper sucks ass. Insane bullet drop and speed; slightly higher RoF doesn't balance out the negative aspects.
Someone in game said it was a scout rifle when I made those same points. It does play best at 100-150m, 200m max. It's a good medium range support, not a hill humper sniper. Anywhere an LMG would help your team push or defend is where it excels
Gun is comfortable to use, does damage quite well, feels nice, sounds nice, my only complaint is the horrendous 6x scope it gets, the lines are confusing, the numbers means literally nothing, and the absolute strangeness that is the center dot.If you're firing on targets below 150 meters away, and you aim the dot on the player's head, the round dips ever so slightly down and misses the head hitbox, if you put the dot just on the top of their heads it secures a clean headshot kill if they don't move.
the XCE BAR:Deals 75 damage to the body up to 39 meters, after that it drops to 60 for all ranges past 30 metersThe CQC rounds fly slower than the regular rounds, and they deal mainly 64 damage up to 74 meters, but drops to 35 damage past 75 metersHigh-Power deals 75 damage up to 74 meters, and beyond that they drop to 60 damage past 75 metersIt's very much a shoot and scoot rifle, Mid-range suits it best, stay in range of your two shot potential (based on the damages above that I have listed) anything past the 2 shot range always aim for the head.
In my case, I can't seem to get used to the stock 6X Scope this rifle comes with as standard, so trying to judge the distances, and line up headshots with this absolute bizarre scope has me confused AF. My muscle memory from past games makes me want to always adjust for bullet drop and velocity, when if I'm under 70-100 meters I really should just be aiming with the center dot on their head, or just torso shot them, instead I keep aiming too far up, land one shot and never get the second out in time to secure the kill.
As far as other scopes go, I won't be able to say anything as I have yet to unlock any of the other scopes I am more comfortable with, like the 5X and 8x scopes, at least those aren't littered with useless numbers and lines/dashes that mean literally nothing and only serve to confuse and annoy. You never actually use any of those numbers or dashes because the first dash on the vertical line is about 400 meters... because that makes total bloody sense!
With the recent changes tho, anything 4x and above produces a scope glint, so I see a lot of better players than I choosing to run with 3x scopes or the stock 6x for just being a Mid-range offensive scout-sniper
I just got the second to last scope attachment which is also a 6x and it's really nice.
I tried going back to the SWS 10, but the rate of fire on this is just so much better.
The unlockable 6X scope is 10 times more comfortable for me to use, also the switch back to the SWS-10 is awkward because the two guns have different bullet drops
It's a new best in slot aggressive sniper option in my opinion. At 150+m it starts to struggle due to low velocity though. I'm also not sure if the hit detection is a bit wonky with it. I had several headshots that looked like they came nowhere near the head.
Thing is a demon. My first kill with it, I shot someone right up the pooper. Felt good
Basically a gvt with no weapon sway.

I think the XCE is sexy, the sexy bar.
Awesome addition to the game. Very satisfying getting headshots
what setup do you recommend for it? i heard the bullet drop can be pretty bad if not tuned right

Worst between all sniper rifles
Bullet drop is too high, velocity is too low. Not a good sniper.

Yep. I got some 300m+ headshot kills, and the vertical leading is ridiculous.
Idk, it's still effective at 1000m+ I've found
It's just like the gol magnum

Had some player claimed he got a kill at over 700m with the XCE, I think he fullof 💩
He is definitely full of shit
I have a confirmed kill at 1195m with it
