Of course if you are donning one of the best Battlefield 2042 SWS-10 loadouts, you'll be on the constant lookout for the perfect sniper's nests. With very diverse terrain across each of its seven maps, there are plenty of high spots to help you get to sniping. You want to either always be on the move or find a relatively covered position. A great way to secure yourself is with the help of Battlefield 2042 Irish, with his deployable cover, and Battlefield 2042 MacKay is great for getting you up those unreachable spots with his grapple. 

However, these spots might not always be the most strategic or the easiest places to rack up kills, as your flashing scopes makes you an easy target. With bullet drop and the often irritating Battlefield 2042 bloom, sometimes getting a little closer to the enemy is far more beneficial. Thanks to the plus system you can mould the best Battlefield 2042 SWS-10 loadouts into a mid-range killer, which certainly would struggle against your ARs and SMGS, but with a steady hand all you need is a single headshot. Spawn on helicopters and VTols to drop in behind enemies or in the flanking position.

Similar to a lot of the loadouts in 2042, the best Battlefield 2042 SWS-10 loadouts are utilised to the max when you prepare for various ranges. The BKS 8x and SDB 10x are best suited to those extremely long ranges, while the Raven 4x covers the middle ground and either the XDR Holo or Fusion Holo are for your close encounters. When playing long range you need to equip attachments that will hold that firing power, meaning High Power ammunition, the ADR Bipod underbarrel and the Extended Barrel are the preferable choices. However, for a more dynamic build you'll want an Extended Mag, the Rattlesnake Light Grip underbarrel and either the Wrapped Suppressor or the Shortened Barrel. These attachments will make up the best Battlefield 2042 SWS-10 loadouts.
