The NT242 is definitely the best and my favorite but the A280 with burst fire is also a good option for players wanting to stay close to med range and is a lot more forgiving if you don't have good aim
Disclaimer to all console players: unless using the disruption shot, steer clear of the NT-242 in close range...unless your aim is god tier, you'll suffer from the slow fire rate and mad recoil. Azzatru plays on PC where aiming seems to be a little bit easier as you are able to recover much more quickly and effectively...in my experience the NT up close is a great way to get yourself killed...the disruption gives it slight AOE, which can be used up close, but if you aren't using it then there's no point because unless you hit your opponent in the head, by the time you've fired off two shots you will have been killed. The A280-CFE is much more effective in close range. Take my opinion with a grain of salt, but i feel like on console the experience is much more difficult and diverse (for example, in close range the stealth star card is more useful than marksman etc.)
It definitely seems like we have a harder time on console, maybe the reason you see so few specialists. I think that's why I prefer the IQA11, you can miss shots and still kill before the enemy has much time to react, and if you are accurate a body shot followed up by a head shot is practically an instant kill anyway
The specialist is so versatile, there are so many gizmos you can use for a different play style. I’ve been trying the pulse cannon the last few days and it’s so gimmicky I’m having a lot of fun!
This is my loadout Sniper: NT-242 Mods:Dual Zoom and Improved Cooling Star Cards:Stinger Pistol,Improved Binoculars,and Stealth You guys should try it!
My is: Blaster: NT242 Atachments: improved cooldown disruptor shot Starcards: personal shield, one of the infiltration cards, bounty hunter or marksman
I like to use the stealth star card, you have such an advantage at melee fights as well as killing/mega damaging heroes from behind before they can react
@@Reycara627 I haven't played in a good while but I think I'd swap it out for the stinger pistol or resourceful But usually stealth would be a staple card for me
A really good combo is stealth with personalshield. If somebody sneaked up on u and surprises u u just activate shield and with melee them to death. As 3 card i would use marksman
Azzatru using 212th Recon Division on Geonisis & 41 skin on Kaskyyyk? I see you are a man of culture as well But yea I wish DICE gave us an option to save skins on each map since I’m getting tired of Switching skins all the time
Disruptor shot on the NT is a hidden gem, retains the 2 shot body shot 1 shot head shot kills, has explosive radius and kills a speeder in 2 shots. Devastates objectives too.
Another good card to try is the stealth card, apart from wiping you from enemy scanners whilst shooting your weapon, it also buff your melee damage. If the stealth card is maxed out, then you could two shot enemies with just you fists
You could use the disruptor shot on the NT and shoot the ground near people and deal splash damage to them. I switch it out with the duel zoom sometimes on smaller maps to switch it up.
Good video! I still feel like thebinocs are nearly useless in all but a few very specific circumstances. They should put the whole thing on the rifle scope, and make it toggle-able.
Sniper Main here. Best sniper in my opinion is the NT-242. Disruptor shot and improved cooling. This gun is a monster two hits all infantry except heavy eho needs 3 hits at max health. It melts all vehicles and annoying shields. And goes through lightsabers :) This gun is amazeballs
I’m in console, so aiming is kinda difficult so usually I use the a280cfe with burst instead on maps like the Death Star, stage 2 naboo etc, but nt242 is great on Crait, hoth etc. Only other thing is that I always use the personal shield
Thank you this video was alot of help because I was not the best specialest user till now I get more kills than ever before and I am semi confodent with no scopes at close range. I subscribed btw!
For a close range, flanking loadout: A280-CFE, Dual Zoom and Burst Fire attachments Marksman, Hardened Infiltration, and Survivalist The A280-CFE can one shot any trooper in one burst of headshots. It shoots much faster and is easier to no-scope with than the NT-242 Marksman allows more shots, making fighting groups of enemies much easier. Hardened Infiltration increases damage output and speed, reveals enemies on the radar, and reduces damage taken. This allows the specialist to be tanky and offensive, and makes flanks easier since you will know exactly where everyone is. The Survivalist card increases the already fast health regen of the Specialist, allowing you to duck in and out of cover and even recover to full health in the middle of firefights, essentially doubling your health in many situations. This Specialist loadout is a lot more versatile than the Assault's close range loadout, allowing efficacy at all range, not just short to medium range.
Just a headset up, resourceful card doesn’t actually affect the thermal binoculars at all. It’s either a bug or oversight. My guess is that the game doesn’t think it’s an actual ability because it never actually goes on cooldown (the binoculars will have a recalibrating cooldown before you can spot again) but the actual ability will never go on cooldown and can still be used to look around after spotting players
Binoculars is the best ability in the game; being able to spot all the enemies every time you want it's crucial, not even the infiltrators are this good at that.
Swaping it with personal shield and adding stealth is good too. If someone surprises u or u have to go on an Point u can delete people with that comb and u can regenerate while in the shield
NT is great (on mouse), but what I think is really the best it would probably be the A280(burst), in my opinion your able to get more kills with it, and it is far more versatile, having the ability to be used at close, medium and far range, and one of the few blaster's you can peak fire with.
Alr boys you need 400 kills as a sniper(specalist) to get the NT 242 keep in mind that this is the last rifle of the class so you cant grind to it if your a new player so grind the sniper class and all ofthat grind will be worth it
I can consistently place top 3 by playing like the spy from tf2. Using brawler, stealth and hardened infiltration. You can one-shot all troopers with a backstab or head-stab, as well as kill any reckless heroes or villains in a couple of lives.
Interesting. I main the specialist (level 804) but play completely differently. I mainly use the A280-CFE with hardened infiltration, bodyguard and survivalist. I basically play it as the assault class, but with better middle and right abilities and a worse grenade. Hardened infiltration is such a strong card, it has a short cooldown, lasts a good while, has damage reduction, reveals enemies, does a lot of damage, improves sprint speed. The aggressive specialist is very slept on in this game. I do enjoy playing at range too, but use the IQA11 instead of the NT242, and when I do use the NT242 I take disruptor shot. The IQA11 seems to be universally regarded as bad, but not having to lead shots is such a game changer and the fire rate and damage are enough that, even though it can't OHK, it kills almost instantaneously anyway.
I have a tactic we’re I shoot people on the objective with a stinger pistol an assault throws a dioxide in and me and a sentry shoot at them with the same time (I use an nt) because of the stinger they can’t regen and they just fall
I use the trip mine, stealth, and improved shock grenade as my ability cards I have 44 battle points and I was wondering what might be better cards. Any ideas to improve my specialist skills?
A really good combo is personal shield with stealth. When u get surprised u can pop the shield and even if u cant shoot while having shield on u can melee and regenerate while in shield. With stealth u make massive damage on close range. Its such a good combo u should try it. As 3 card i would use marksman
I play PS4 and tbh I have found that since you can’t get the same accuracy as Keyboard and mouse the A280-CFE as it is sort of a spammy AR sniper (as in it works for both long range and short) other than that I more or less agree with the cards (but I prefer the personal shield over the binoculars)

Yep, that’s azzatru
Were all bots, but still nice shots
Nice guide, i'd love to see more in the future, also im currently learning specialist so the video was very helpful. Thanks a lot!
The NT242 is definitely the best and my favorite but the A280 with burst fire is also a good option for players wanting to stay close to med range and is a lot more forgiving if you don't have good aim
What are the milestones to get these weapons?

Sometimes star cards are better in certain game modes. Marksman is a lot more useful in bigger game modes and less useful in Blast.

A280-CFE is trash at all distances
@@mac5917 it really isn't....get burst mod if you haven't already - you can one tap people if you go for the head
Corbin Holmes that maybe is true but i play console and head shots are way harder so my choice is for more damage (NT242)
Am I the only one that thought that Azzatru would say in 2:26 "With great power comes great responsibility"?
Nope

Thanks for the tips. I’m a noob with the specialist so this should help a ton.

Its important we dont under estimate him
Disruptor shot on the NT is a hidden gem, retains the 2 shot body shot 1 shot head shot kills, has explosive radius and kills a speeder in 2 shots. Devastates objectives too.
Thanks I have been waiting for this keep up the good work
I think switching between the nt-242 and the a280-cfe is very useful depending on the map as well!
Another good card to try is the stealth card, apart from wiping you from enemy scanners whilst shooting your weapon, it also buff your melee damage. If the stealth card is maxed out, then you could two shot enemies with just you fists
I have been using the specialist a lot more a lot of the time in co-op or sepremacy. The Nt-242 is the best keep up the great work AZZATRU!

Will you do one for each class?

Can u do a vid on how to gain a lot of battle points?
For me it's just have high Sensitivity, aim a little ahead of the target (left, right. Up, or down) and then shoot.
Ypu already know I'm watching this I watch all your vids
jack1260 jack1260 nope. Azzatru is great
Personally I’m a bigger fan of stealth as an ability than the improved binoculars just bc the insane melee damage
Hi Mr AZZATRU :)
For me I need to remember to use the burst smg thing or no scope up close instead of trying to quickscope
Thank you this video was alot of help because I was not the best specialest user till now I get more kills than ever before and I am semi confodent with no scopes at close range. I subscribed btw!

It's over anakin! I have the high ground!
Just got the last gun when this came out so it was very helpful👍
I have the specialist at level 8 and the others class at level 40+,i hope to learn how use this class with this video
Hello there
You are a bold one
KEEEEL HEEEEM
Will you be doing more class guides?
How do you use dual zoom?
Middle mouse button
Thanks for the tips
I must say, sniping in BF2 is so, so satisfying 😄just picking off heads one after the other? mm mm.
I asked a question about this on your live stream. Thanks!
Who asked?
That's the video I needed. No bullshits here.
Thanks for watching!

what’s the best loud out for if you want to snipe from the back of the battlefield
Most of this one

So it's kinda like halos sniper the way you can no scope
what do you think of the cycler rifle?
It's absolutely awful and should never be used

What gamemode is thst
how to use double zoom?
azzatru, I am ngl gonna say you are kinda the ALIA of swbf2
It’s surprisingly smooth on console.
Glad to see you aren't one of those personal shield sheep
I looked up to see if i could find any griefing montages of that rifle. I just unlocked it last night and ive found myself going on 50 kill streaks
I can't remember the gun I use, but it has extended scope zoom and the blast explodes on impact.
I've defeated multiple jedi with it.
How do u use the Dual zoom
Middle mouse
What about the cycler rifle?
It's utter trash and should never be used lol
What sensitivity do you play on bro?
20% I think
Disrupted shot is good against canon boats gives you 2000 points
Specialist is my favorite class.
How to use dual zoom? I have unlocked and equipped it. But what button activates it?
middle mouse button on PC
Can you please do the Heavy or Assault Class next those two are my main classes
Can I get kills for attachments by playing co-op?
How do i unlock the second sniper rifle in special class played a good few maps still stuck on the first sniper rifle which is crap
I know the pain, you just got to keep going and will get it eventually
It seems like even with improved thermal binoculars all the way maxed up I can’t slot more than one enemy. I need 100 for a milestone.
How to make zoom when i have scope on gun ?
I use middle mouse button
This and other games need to stop people from close range sniping
Oh I don't think so
Lol nope
Is it me or is azzatru character running really fast
Nope, just high fov

400 kills with the specialist class, not sure if it’s kills in general or kills with weapons only
