Playing as a sniper in Delta Force: Hawk Ops is one of the best experiences out there and for a few good reasons. The long-range battles with enemy snipers, helpful tracers guiding your shots, and peeking around a corner for a split second to land the perfect shot against your enemies are what makes Delta Force: Hawk Ops special for sniping fans. Having the wrong sniper on your hands will make landing those long-range headshots a nightmare, so get ready to learn about the best sniper rifles in Delta Force: Hawk Ops.
Delta Force: Hawk Ops – Which Is The Best Sniper Rifle?
In Delta Force: Hawk Ops, most sniper rifles are decent at long range, but you must consider a few key stats to land easy headshots at long distances and kill enemies while they sprint toward an objective.
To succeed as a sniper in this game, you must be mindful of a rifle’s RPM, muzzle velocity, ammo capacity, and scope sway.
RPM (rounds per minute) dictates how fast you can shoot your rifle, which is a key stat as sometimes you may miss a headshot when guessing how high you should aim your rifle to compensate for bullet drop. Muzzle Velocity is how fast a bullet comes out of your rifle. The higher the value is, the less you’ll need to lead your shots on moving targets.
Lastly, Scope Sway refers to how much your scope moves when aiming. The higher the value, the more your scope will move when aiming, so choosing a sniper rifle with the lowest value will make it easier to land precise shots against snipers hiding behind objects. With these stats in mind, here are the best sniper rifles in Delta Force: Hawk Ops, ranked.
4. SV-98
The SV-98 is the first sniper rifle available for players as the recon class and, for the most part, is a good option to get used to tracers, bullet drop, and the laid-back playstyle you need to excel as a sniper in Delta Force: Hawk Ops.

The SV-98 is great for medium to long ranges, but its RPM is a bit slow compared to other rifles, so you must be accurate, or enemies will get to you fast. Its 7-round magazine will be handy to keep shooting for longer but sometimes ends in you wasting some ammo. These are some of the SV-98 stats:
- Fire rate: 40 RPM
- Muzzle Velocity: 650 m/s
- Scope Sway: 0.28°
- Ammo capacity: 7
3. M700
The M700 sniper rifle has nice aesthetics, and for some old gamers, it may look similar to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare‘s R700. What this rifle lacks in ammo capacity and aiming down sights speed, it compensates with its high fire rate, capable of dealing lots of damage quickly. The M700 is an upgrade compared to the SV-98, but the lack of ammo and long aim down sight speed makes it a hard choice for competitive players.

If you are looking for a fast-firing sniper rifle, the M700 may be your best choice, but you must be accurate because with its starting 5-round magazine, you’ll be reloading a lot. These are some of the M700 stats:
- Fire rate: 48 RPM
- Muzzle Velocity: 650 m/s
- Scope Sway: 0.28°
- Ammo capacity: 5
2. R93
The R93 is the best option in Delta Force: Hawk Ops if you like to be an aggressive sniper. The R93 has the highest base RPM of all the snipers, paired with a high-capacity magazine bigger than the M700 and SV-98. One of the few cons of this rifle is its scope sway and muzzle velocity.
The R93’s base bullet velocity is slower than the M700 and SV-98, so long-range shooting is not its strong suit, but that’s not an issue if you are being aggressive with the R93, as it is your best option to excel with this rifle.

Besides the slower bullet velocity, the rifle has more scope sway, making long-range shooting harder. These are some of the R93 sts:
- Fire rate: 50 RPM
- Muzzle Velocity: 550 m/s
- Scope Sway: 0.40°
- Ammo capacity: 10
1. AWM
The AWM has a slow fire rate, aiming down sight speed and average scope sway, but its base muzzle velocity puts all those cons to rest. If you are a fan of lying down on a hill and shooting at targets at extreme ranges, this sniper rifle is the best for that kind of playstyle.
The below-average fire rate will put you in great danger at medium to close distances, so picking a good spot with lots of cover is the best option to kill your enemies one at a time from a safe place.

Another thing to worry about the AWM is its small magazine. The AWM has a five-round magazine, so you must pick your targets carefully and make every shot count. These are some of the AWM stats:
- Fire rate: 35 RPM
- Muzzle Velocity: 750 m/s
- Scope Sway: 0.28°
- Ammo capacity: 5
