Shroud Thinks the VSS is the Perfect Weapon for the PUBG Map of Sanhok

Former professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) player turned popular Twitch streamer shroud routinely pulls in tends of thousands of viewers who love to watch the former professional esports athlete collect large amounts of kills and chicken dinners in Player Unknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG).

During a recent stream, shroud was showing off some impressive gameplay with the VSS sniper rifle by taking out multiple enemies with its automatic fire rate. While many members of the PUBG community view the VSS as a non viable weapon compared to the other weapons found in PUBG, shroud explained why he feels that the VSS is the perfect weapon to use on the newest PUBG map of Sanhok. 

While shroud does state that he understands the limitations of the VSS on the two larger PUBG maps of Erangel and Miramar, the Twitch streamer believes that Sanhok plays to the strengths of the VSS very well and that a team of players all using the weapon could easily win a match in a tournament setting. 

When compared to other sniper rifles and assault rifles, the VSS and its use of 9mm ammo does not pack the same amount of punch or allow for very accurate long-range distance shooting.

However, due to its ability to fire fully automatically, a VSS with an extended magazine can allow players to deliver a volley of fire at close to medium distances with more accuracy than an smg due to its attached scope. You can see the damage that shroud is able to inflict on his enemies with the weapon on Sanhok in the embedded clip below. 

Shroud and his talent for PC titles does allow him to make any PUBG weapon look formidable, but the close quarters nature of the combat that often takes place on Sanhok does look to be a perfect setting for players to get the most value out of using the VSS sniper rifle in order to collect a chicken dinner.
