**First zoom has 3.5x zoom distance and +35% critical multiplier.

This weapon can be sold for ‍.
==Notes==
*The Rubico has the highest critical multiplier of any sniper rifle, with a base multiplier of 3x.
**On the other hand, it has a dismal status chance of 12%, being the lowest for all the sniper rifles. This is compared to the 20-30% of the other sniper rifles, a considerable difference.
**The crit damage bonus from zooming is treated in the damage calculation like a respective mod. Therefore, it is additive with mods like , , and .
*It closely resembles the Grineer in terms of damage type distribution and other stats; the main difference being the Rubico has higher critical stats, while having lower status, base damage, and magazine.
*The Rubico requires only a single shot to activate its Shot Combo Counter, giving it an immediate 1.5x total damage multiplier on the first shot, and a 2.0x total damage multiplier after its third shot, giving it the ability to quickly ramp up its damage with a single magazine. On the other hand, it has a short combo decay counter that lasts only 2 seconds, thus reloading at 2.4 seconds will always lower its shot combo counter if there are no reload mods present
*The combo multiplier starts at 1.5x on the first shot and requires triple the amount of shots to reach each consecutive tier.
\mathrm{Multiplier} = 1.5 + 0.5 \lfloor \log_3(\mathrm{Combo\ hits}) \rfloor
Combo Counter Bonus Tier	Total Base Damage Multiplier	Minimum ConsecutiveHits Required
1 	1.5x 	1
2 	2.0x 	3
3 	2.5x 	9
4 	3.0x 	27
5 	3.5x 	81
6 	4.0x 	243
7 	4.5x 	729
8 	5.0x 	2187
==Tips==
*Due to its high critical chance and damage multiplier, modding for critical chance and damage is very effective. Adding and increases the critical chance to 75% and the multiplier to 6.6x. , and can increase it even further. Scoping in also boosts its critical damage by up to +50% at maximum zoom level.
*It is not suggested to use the / mod on the Rubico due to its long reload times.
*If the zoom HUD can make aiming difficult, turn off "Use Sniper Scopes" in Interface Options if it hinders you from aiming properly.
==Trivia==
*Rubico is a clay made from crushed basalt that is used to build tennis courts, with its green color being similar to the default color of this weapon.
*The Rubico shares the same aesthetic with the thrown bombs and bladed whip, both of which are also included in the Huntress Bundle.
==Bugs==
*It seems as though there is a chance for a bullet to not hit its mark, even when scoped in.
