SniperRifle

An example of a Sniper Rifle.

Sniper Rifles are ranged weapons that fire linear projectiles. They are generally slower to fire than Assault Rifles, but generally deal higher damage and have slightly higher knockback.

Weapon Strategies[]

Like the Assault Rifle, the Sniper Rifle is a very simple weapon to use. One easy method of dispatching foes is to put some distance between the two of you, and fire away. The knockback of a sniper rifle should be enough to keep the enemy at a distance, allowing the player to safely defeat enemies in this manner.

Acquiring[]

Like most other ranged weapons, Sniper Rifles cannot be crafted (as of Beta v Indignant Koala). Below are some methods to obtain them:
