Armor.
Obtaining[ | ]

Strategy[ | ]
The Sniper can break even the strongest Armor in a single shot and deals massive damage to unarmored opponents.
Along with the 
Hunting Rifle, it is also the heaviest weapon, having the slowest movement speed of all the weapons, tied with the 
Big Clucking Gun.
In the hands of experienced players, the Sniper becomes one of the most powerful weapons, taking 2 precise shots to break an opponent's Armor and damage them critically.
Using throwables like the 
Grenade can help to force an opponent to abandon cover, making them easier targets. Following up after one or two Sniper shots with faster weapons can finish off an opponent quicker and easier than a third shot.
By crouching, the field of vision of the player increases by 15%, this can be used to find enemies who may be out of sight or used to hit more centered, precise shots.
Due to high recoil on sniper it is recommended to shoot with delay in-between shots.
Damage based on distance[ | ]
Damage output depends on the distance traveled by a bullet before it hits the target. A bullet fired from the Sniper can travel up to 120 (132 on sneak peek) SAU, or 960px (1056px).

Patch History[ | ]

- Weapon recoil is non-random for the first few shots in a spray, but then becomes random after that. Automatic weapons such as the SMG or AK have 8 shots as non-random, but others like the Magnum or Deagle have 2. The Sniper goes random after its first shot, similar to its current version.

- The Sniper will now only spawn up to Uncommon rarity in the world.
- Rare Snipers are now exclusive to the Delivery Mole crates.
