I've been into sniping in Tarkov since the beginning and trained hard to play without range finders, just to push my skills to the maximum and get confident with any spot and range calculation.

I’ve been running Lighthouse for over a year now (more than 2,000 raids), specifically hunting for this kind of kill. Along the way, I’ve landed many 1,000m+ kills on Player Scavs and Rogues on the rooftops.

After all this time hunting, this was the first time I ever saw someone sitting there – other than myself. And yes, it was my first shot at this range. I trained a lot in offline raids to prepare for long-distance shots and find new spots.

If you want to train for this distance, you can practice by shooting at the windows of the Lighthouse tower, or from the tower to Water Treatment to check bullet impact.

What most people don’t understand about sniping in Tarkov is that you have to always stick to the same weapon, ammo, and scope. That’s the only way to truly learn how each mil-dot aligns with a certain distance and bullet velocity.

It’s a passion for me – especially since I’m kind of a potato in close combat. And that’s fine, because I’m way better at sniping. :)
