Snipers

[lozza]

Would really appreciate some clues as to how to do away with the snipers who have Barney pinned down in the derelict building. Don't seem to be able to avoid getting myself blasted.

Be quick, have a grenade ready to throw just before you do, keep strafing. Basically, don't let them hit you before you can get your shot in.

I used a chest of drawers or a cabinet or something, and held it out in front of me to get the sniper at the end Barney's at. That way you wont take any damage. If you've got any grenades on your secondary fire machine gun now's the time to use them aswell.

explosives is all you need

 

[Asus]

Either pop out and shoot em quick or hide behind something and throw a nade into the window (the fun option).

If you really want to stay safe, then use the abandoned car as cover, then hit it with your grav gun (primary fire) until you are in position to lob a grenade through the snipers window.

He's talking about up in the building, where Barney is. I'd be surprised if there were cars on the second and third floor.
btw: if you're not, you can also actually dodge the sniper's bullets because you can see them coming, gotta be quick tho.

That's easy

hold a board in your hand to cover yourself and walk through

If you're desperate, the RPG works very well. Anything explosive, really.

I used the gravity gun to propel the 'nade, worked wonders for me.

In the street I took something to shield me from the guy in the tower, I think it was shot out of my hand so I just strafe ran and tried to find more stuff to use as shield. In the building I just strafed from side to side hiding behind the walls as cover and threw nades... Its been a while...

Basically, don't let them hit you

Best advise ever

I used my RPG on 1, LOL.

 

[Jandor]

I ran to Barney when the Snipers where shooting crows. Then threw Grenades through the windows.

Thanks all.
