I need help.

I am leveling as a sniper and using the M24 Sniper.
It is AWFUL. It takes me 2-3 shots to kill someone, and when I shoot them once they either:

A. Run around a building and hide
B. Turn around and gun me down with half a clip.

How do people who make Sniper montages do it?

Honestly? They shoot about 100 hours of gameplay.

What sniper should I be using at my level instead of M24, because it's clearly not doing it.

It's about 90% personal preference. In hardcore you have 60 Health making all bolt action snipers a 1 hit kill with Magnum Ammo (Need to unlock it).

m24 is like the 2nd sniper or the 1st? that was the main one i used til i got the gol
however i unlocked most of them using the thompson or vss with a red dot and ran up and got shit done i didnt snipe much
just get used to head shotting ppl

So with M24 my only chance for a one shot one kill is a headshot?

Read the stats on the image I posted.

Can you explain it to me lol?

All bolt action snipers do 100 damage up to a certain range. Within that range they are a 1 hit kill anywhere. Outside of that range it requires 1 to the head or 2 to the body.

lol
