Overview

The Sniper Rifle is a early-to-mid game single shot weapon that can be made from the arsenal for 145 iridium. It can be found in the Arsenal's Guns 2 subcategory.

The Sniper Rifle fires a single red beam directly at the player's cursor, with zero inaccuracy. Each shot does 33.25-52.25 damage to the body or 95 damage to the head per shot. The sniper rifle has a magnifying scope that can be used by right clicking.

The Sniper Rifle consumes 20 iridium per shot, with a reload time of 2.5 seconds, consuming up to 8 iridium per second. It has extremely long range, nearly triple that of the Assault Rifle and Minigun, as well as perfect accuracy. It is suited for long-range combat in the early and mid game due to its long reload, high damage, and high range.

Appearance

The Sniper Rifle has a very long barrel and a slim body. On the front of the barrel, a muzzle brake is attached, with a stubby grip and a large magnification scope attached to the top of the body. A bolt is attached to the side of the gun's body, and a short stock is attached to the back. Most of the gun is colored iridium-gray, but some parts of the gun, like the muzzle brake and grip, are colored the color of the player's teamcolor.

Usage Tips

• The Sniper Rifle has the second longest range of any offensive item in the game.
  • This, as well as its cheap cost, makes it an uncontested weapon for extremely long range combat.
• The Sniper Rifle has a long reload, heavily reducing its total damage output.
  • However, other weapons, like the Assault can be used during its reload.
    • The Assault Rifle is an especially good pair for the Sniper Rifle due to the former's long range and cheap cost.
• If facing a player with a sniper, try to stay in cover as much as possible to avoid losing health at range.
