10 Best Sniper Rifles In Video Game History - Ranked

7. The Longshot - Gears Of War

If you’re a sniper rifle fan tucking into Gears of War you’re absolutely going to want to reach for the Longshot which, well, it shoots from really far away. I'm sure you figured that out from the name. This gun might only be able to fire off a single shot at a time but when the bullets hit hard enough to take an enemy’s head clean off then one shot is all you need.

You’ll be able to get your taxes done in the time this brutal boom buddy takes to reload but it’s all worth it when you’re doing this much damage.

The sound of pulling off a headshot with this one is oh so satisfying but you don’t even need to land a headshot to take an enemy down in some cases, the gun is just that powerful. Immensely satisfying and deadly in every way, the Longshot may slow things down just a little compared to its cousins in your arsenal but its stopping power is unmatched. Bernie put it best when she said, "You need a Longshot. Reloading's a pain in the arse, but it'll stop a truck."
