◢ THE READ

The fastest time-to-kill among sniper rifles in Wardogs belongs to the AMR 50 -- about 1090.9ms on a balanced profile. But the AMR 50 is a heavy .50-cal anti-materiel rifle: the fastest on the trigger, but slow to handle and situational -- not the conventional sniper most players run.

For the conventional sniper rifle you would actually run in most fights, the SV98 is the fastest-TTK standard sniper rifle at 1384.8ms -- that is the pick this guide would hand most players.

The full board below scores 5 sniper rifles on measured time-to-kill from community ballistics testing, ranked honestly by raw kill speed -- the AMR 50 really is first on the trigger; the context is what it costs you to carry.

◢ THE CATCH
Time-to-kill measures raw killing speed at the trigger. It does not weigh reload time, effective range, recoil control, or handling -- which is exactly why the fastest sniper rifle on paper is not always the one you should run. These figures are attributed to Swoleguy’s testing, not yet Bulkhead-official. This board ranks the class by time-to-kill; to solve within a cash budget (gun + ammo, community-recorded prices), use the Loadout Finder.
