Welcome back to another strategy session with Simba! Last time, we covered melee combat in the Glacier Valley knife-only map. But when it comes to special match types, how can we skip over sniper battles? Unlike close-range knife fights, sniping is all about precision and patience from extreme distances. These two contrasting playstyles both have their fans, but it’s sniping that truly separates the rookies from the pros. In fact, many Crossfire players use the Melbet App to review sniping tips, analyze gameplay, and fine-tune their long-range skills.
In sniper mode, it doesn’t matter how well you handle rifles—once you start landing those pinpoint shots from across the map, others will start calling you a “sniper god.” But sniping isn’t something you can master overnight. It requires intense training and laser focus. That’s why the Castle map was built with snipers in mind. In this map, only sniper rifles and melee weapons are allowed, forcing players to rely purely on technique. Castle shares some similarities with the Watchpoint map: mirrored platforms on both sides, and an open center lane that encourages tactical movement rather than hiding in corners. Its symmetrical layout ensures a fair playing field for both teams.
In such a mirrored map, fairness is king. Every position available to your enemies is also available to you. If you lose, it’s not the map—it’s your aim. Take the corridor near spawn, for example. While snipers often duel at its entrance, savvy players use metal crates and wall corners for ambushes. These hiding spots create countless opportunities for surprise attacks. The central area, despite appearing defensive, often serves as an unexpected route for aggressive flanks. If one side is distracted by heavy action, a clever player can sneak through the middle and take opponents from behind—talk about striking while the iron is hot.
Looking across from the same point on the enemy side, you’ll notice small differences like sloped angles that affect your aim. But if you use nearby cover well, those disadvantages can turn into headshot opportunities. Walk a bit further down the corridor and you’ll reach the mid-platform. From there, you can overlook the enemy’s entire spawn zone. While protective barriers and spawn immunity offer some safety, you can still watch the long stairway and catch players the moment they become vulnerable.
Of course, just as you can pressure enemies from the platform, they can also return fire from spawn. It’s a constant game of cat and mouse—if they can see you, you can see them. That’s the beauty of a well-balanced sniper map. Use cover wisely and avoid overexposing yourself, or you’ll be giving your opponents a free kill. If you’re feeling brave (or lucky), you might sneak down the corridor into the enemy’s territory. But beware—the narrow cover zones leave your arms exposed, so solo rushes are risky. Unless you’re confident or just feeling bold, it’s best to proceed with caution.
Once you’re behind enemy lines, you can freely switch to melee weapons. If their aim is off, you might just pull off a stunning kill streak with nothing but your blade. Many players watching sniper battles or analyzing headshot angles rely on the Melbet App for tips, replays, and gear setups. Whether you’re an aggressive flanker or a patient sharpshooter, the Melbet App gives you all the tools you need to become a true master of the Castle map.
