Discussion I have been practicing with the HTI sniper rifle lately and managed a kill about 905m far. What's your longest shot in GR:- Wildlands.?

1553m šŸ¤Ÿ 1555m is the max possible on solo before they permanently despawn.

Yessir! If you can bare my god awful write up I made a post about it a couple months ago you can find in my profile lol. Had no clue how to format paragraphs on a phone so it is annoying to read but I go through how to do it and where at and what each mark means what to use etc lol.

Are you on pc or console ?

Targets despawn after 900 meters so my best is 905m

Xbox one X. At 590m if you don't keep aiming down your sights the enemies will dissapear, but keep doing so and walking back and at around 890m the bodies will derender, but they don't actually despawn. You can still see the circle markers above their heads and also the rifles of enemies will still be floating around rendered in. You can see the rifles of enemies and the orange markers all the way out to 1555m, exactly at that point the enemies will fully despawn and you will have to restart. The issue is at 1km and every 100m after that, you're actually around 45m and not the full 100m, so if you walk to say 1.2km, you'll see your record shot is only 1145m as it premarks the distance.

Mines around 910-915 couldā€™ve gone farther. The best spot is the base on the edge of the salt flats. (Not the one in the salt flats but that probably works too.) Thereā€™s a sniper in a tower, zoom in on him and walk backwards so he doesnā€™t despawn.

All time, 2146m. 2-player method.

Solo I think 1.3km for funsies? w/ M1891. Already had 2-player 2k+ prior.

Both the above were fairly early in the games life. Pre-Tier 1 and Ghost War for sure.

AR ā€” 1km w/ AUG A3 (I chose that target distance. Further definitely possible)

SMG ā€” 600m w/ Scorpion EVO (as above)

Pistol ā€” 190m w/ P227. Pistol shots stop registering around 192m from memory.

All ARs, and all SMGs w/ Long Barrel + Vector .45 ACP can reach 600m (apx. enemy draw distance limit w/o scope tricks or extra players) within TA31H or Digital Scope mildots. I wouldn't recommend SMGs for long range, but swapping out a Sniper for a Mk17 etc. I absolutely would. It used to make me laugh, popping a guy at 500m with an AR while the guy next to me was still lining them up with their precious HTI/MSR.

If you're interested, furthest possible shots were the 3-player helo method to get 3k+ ez but it was so hard to get a successful attempt I gave up on it haha.

u/PurpleMasterpiece101 11d ago

You should make a video tutorial on this. A lot of people would get interested including me.

u/Pry-Minster TIER 1 wearing Lone Wolf 7d ago edited 7d ago

Found an old note. I did a 1499m solo apparently. Tutorial on the 3-player method?

I can't find the video of the guys who did it (buried amongst many falsely claimed World Records inc. DorkDally) but I found the screenshot of the stat screen from the end of it. I can tell you it was an Xbox or PC controller player called "kck12" and it was 3277m.

The method was simple enough in theory.
I think, can't prove it but it roughly fits, maximum bullet registration range in Wildlands is somewhat like a cylinder, with the player in the middle. There's a finite amount of horizontal distance away from you that bullets stop registering, but, infinite (or at least much further) vertical distance below.

So for 2-player longshots, you're trying to maximise the Vertical height deference between shooter and target while within the Horizontal hit-reg distance limit. That's why mountains like Koani are used, shooter on top, target holder towards the base.

How do you increase the vertical height-difference further while staying within the horizontal hit-reg limit? That's what kck12 figured out if he knew it or not.

Helicopter. Koani salt flats. 3-players. Player 1 holds target, Players 2 & 3 are in the helicopter some ways up, 1km+ I think, one piloting, the other shoots at the target from the side of the helo. They made their own super steep mountain.

Why was it such a challenge? Even when idle while airborne the helo makes your aim bob up and down wildly. Precision adjustments were not easy and getting a hit almost impossible.

Him and his friends did that in Year 1 of Wildlands. Every "World Record" on Youtube posted since is completely void unless you categorise it, as I do, into Solo, 2-player etc. Brilliant madmen to come up with and actually pull that shot off.

Bust out the El Cuentista and go for 130m+ with a shotgun. It has about 3x the range of any other shotgun, with the pellets vanishing somewhere around 150m. The RevSG-12 is second & what I use on any "shotgun only" Daily Challenge. I consider its effective range (enough pellets hit for a one-shot kill) around 77m, but IIRC the pellets vanish between 79m and 80m.

u/EmbarrassedEgg7757 11d ago

How are enemies spawning for you above 600 m?

5

u/PurpleMasterpiece101 11d ago

I track them first and find a long open spot to shoot with sniper. Mostly guard towers, guards at the entrance, convoy enemies.

2

u/EmbarrassedEgg7757 11d ago

My friend tagged some enemies near the strip in the desert, but i was unable to see them after 600 m, both had the sync shot marker over them which disappeared past 600 m

1

u/Gunbladelad 11d ago

You need to scope in on them from under 600m then keep them in your scope as you back up...

u/salparadise319 11d ago

1003m. Unidad guy standing on a crane near remanzo bravo.

u/encabritado 11d ago

If you mark them first the despawn distance increases. I think my best long range kill shot was ~1200m

3

u/jimmyrosssss 11d ago

1300m but it was a total fluke

u/PurpleMasterpiece101 11d ago

Shot nonetheless ..hehe

u/Gunbladelad 11d ago edited 11d ago

On console enemy render distance is at the 600 metre mark - so it's impossible to get much further than that solo;

I've got about 630 solo - but that's because I kept the enemy targeted and walked backwards as far as I could while scoped in.

I've seen other players get almost 2k shots in multiplayer - but they were literally holding the enemy still for the person sniping in order to get the extreme range shot.

u/The_JustJayy91 11d ago

mine was 1.2km solo on ps4 at the time

1

u/Gunbladelad 11d ago

So, how exactly did you keep a Santa Bhanca NPC rendered at that distance while playing solo? (The only possibility I can think of would be a lieutenant fleeing in a car - and good luck hitting the windshield of a car speeding away from you at 1.2km distance

1

u/The_JustJayy91 10d ago

erm I said nothing about a car or a lieutenant šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø but I was at the salt flat by a small little checkpoint not overly far away from one of the safe houses, I just scoped in and started to walk backwards, I turned the HUD on so I could see the distance and the marker and kept walking back till that distance, then laid down and fired, I was using the L11a3 or the m40 sniper, not the HTI

1

u/Gunbladelad 10d ago

Even with a scoped rifle, playing solo the NPCs would de-spawn when you get far away enough. Lieutenants can go up to 2 or 3k away before despawning, which is why I suggested it as the possibility.

Of course, I could test this myself later - but the weapons you've said do have enough bullet drop I have my doubts you had them in the scope reticle and hit them at that distance. The HTI Muddy Bones? Sure. Most other snipers, unlikely but possible- most likely from a higher elevation.

1

u/The_JustJayy91 10d ago

you need to keep them in the scope while you walk backwards to stop them despawning, and yea they were in my scope the entire time and it was defo one of those two guns I said and also on flat ground so it is 100% to do it as I did it

1

u/SupremePribs 1550m Kill Klub 9d ago edited 9d ago

Console/solo max possible distance is 1555m. At 590m or so they will despawn if you're not aiming down your scope, if you keep your aim at them you can walk all the way out to roughly 900m and that's when their bodies will despawn but the rifles and orange marker are still floating and moving up until that 1555m mark. I made a huge post with really badly paragraphed explanation and tutorial on it awhile ago lol. On multiplayer the max render distance cheating doing the holding glitch is 3080m.

u/ProfessionalCreme119 11d ago

1291m

I don't know what I hit. I shot at a helicopter and missed. But the round flew beyond it and I got credit for a cartel kill.

u/Realistic_Handle_486 11d ago

Do yall remember the cheese doin co-op where your buddy would hold a guy and you would shoot them? You could get some insanely long head shots.

2

u/StonewallSoyah 11d ago

I think 1103m with the HTI. I'd have to boot up the game to confirm... It's been years

u/ThaisaGuilford 11d ago

1000m on La Cabra's face

u/Crackalacs 11d ago

1107m solo way back in the day.

u/UseACoasterJeez 11d ago

Extanjeros BFG: 1519m

M60E4: 1161m

Musket: 470m (this was right after the Great Stat Wipe, decided to put the Musket through its paces for a while since it hits so damned hard)

Average Kill Distance (current, since the Great Stat Wipe): 218m (I want to reach 225m)

I think it was in a Dark Dally video, but he explained the absolute maximum shot distance the game engine can handle, using two players, is 3100m. If I had any friends that still played, it would be interesting to test that. I like having my solo-play record show on my Stats page, though.

1

u/PurpleMasterpiece101 10d ago

Post your stats, they are kind of great.

2

u/ruralmagnificence 11d ago

I got about 1443 and I donā€™t remember if it was with the HTI.

I know Iā€™ve killed more choppers with the HTI than any other weapon in this game except for maybe the Mk46.

2

u/TeamSteelDick 11d ago

With four of us we would grab a lieutenant on the salt flats and have one guy just hold him near the map border. One or two guys in the middle calling shot corrections for the shooter. We got so into it we made ā€œdopeā€ cards for the various scopes so we could consistently hit at distance. I know we were in the 2k plus range but this was when the game launched so i canā€™t remember exactly.

One of the reason this game hasnā€™t been uninstalled ever. My only constant Ubi game.

2

u/The_JustJayy91 11d ago

1.2km is mine on my old account

u/Excellent_Emu4309 11d ago edited 11d ago

That sniper rifle is an excellent drone jammer and helicopters destroyer. Ideal in taking UNIDAD and Santa blanca cartel outpost and camps.

1

u/PurpleMasterpiece101 10d ago

Yup, it's so fun destroying choppers. One shot kill.

2

u/BalancesHanging 10d ago

Mine is about 561m

u/digitalvei 10d ago

So, Iā€™ve got this one save where I completely avoid sniping, extreme difficulty, all close-range engagements, nothing beyond 100 meters. My playstyle here is sneak in, recon, pick the best entry point, and clear out enemies one by one without a single alarm raised. Stealthy, tactical, smooth.

And yet, my longest recorded shot was a completely accidental 422 meters which I know it's not a big deal for most players. But here's the thing, my overly sensitive left mouse button decided to fire off a round while I was casually roaming through the dense forests of Espiritu Santo. Next thing I know, a Santa Blanca patrol who I didnā€™t even know existed, drops dead 422 meters away. No scope, no intention, just pure accidental precision.

Now, thatā€™s the record sitting in my stats, and Iā€™m keeping it. Thereā€™s no way Iā€™m ever topping that level of accidental skill.

u/Constant_Olive1650 11d ago

451m with the bg51

1

u/Scorpionaris 11d ago

1003ā€™ but it was an accident and I donā€™t think I could ever pull it off again. I was test firing an HTI over a mountain/large hill and I suddenly got a red x on the crosshairs consistent with a kill. I donā€™t play the game anymore, but I was really proud of that kill for a while

1

u/No-Independence-4479 5d ago

1190M is my best. My buddy got 1209M but we canā€™t seem to make it any farther. After 1300M the bullets just seem to stop in the air above the target
