==Performance==

== Strategy ==
It deals a massive amount of damage and has decent mobility, however it features a slow fire rate and a one shot capacity.
=== Tips ===
* When maxed out, it is capable of two-shotting max armored players anywhere.
* Aim for the head to maximize damage.
* Use the scope at long ranges. Its high magnification makes it useful for precise aiming at these distances.
*Because of it's one shot capacity, be very careful with aiming in battle.
* If an enemy survives a shot, finish them off with a Primary or Backup weapon.
* One of the main abilities the weapon has is the Overkill attribute; which allows any excess damage to be added to the next shot. This makes the weapon a one shot weapon in some cases, provided that the user does not miss.
**This is especially useful when countering high-health enemies such as Mechs or monsters in Raid.
**Because it encourages to be more accurate when firing, it is very important to take the time to aim first due to the benefits of attribute.
**In addition, killing a weakened enemy can add a large damage bonus.
* Try strafing while aiming to prevent enemies from hitting you when engaged in a firefight.
* If an enemy survives the shot, finish them off with a Primary or Backup weapon.
* Though it has decent mobility, it is recommended to equip a Melee weapon when travelling around the map.
=== Counters ===
* If engaged in a sniper duel, take time to aim.
* Area damage weapons and shotguns can quickly finish users off.
* Strafe around the user while firing to avoid getting hit.
* Try to wait until the user has fired their shot, then attack while they are vulnerable.
* Flank around the user with a shotgun or melee weapon and attack them from behind.
* Avoid being caught in the open when there is a sniper, stick to cover and locate the sniper then attempt to countersnipe them with your own.
* Flamethrowers and shotguns can be useful for quickly killing users at close range.
