### Tips

* Aim at the head to maximize its damage.
* After racking a kill from a sniping spot, move to another position due to obvious reasons.
* If used in close ranges combined with precision, it heavily damages your target. Tearing the bulk of their health and armor away, making them easy to finish off.
* As the scope heavily decreases your field of view, occasionally unscope and look at your surroundings to look for any potential attackers.
* This weapon offers a larger margin for error due to the high rate of fire, allowing more freedom to fire.
* In Team Fight, pick off key targets (i.e. Ghost Lantern users) to prevent enemies from getting fast easy kills.
* Tied with 92 fire rate and the high damage, you can be a deadly sniper.
	+ It is true due to the fact that a single headshot can result to the enemy (equipped with max Champion armor, Burning Tiara, any headahot-reducing wear items) being left only with one or two hearts, rendering him very vulnerable.
* Useful for camping purposes. However, it is not recommended for obvious reasons.
* It is best used on large, open maps such as Parkour City and Sniper Forts.
* It works well when countering sniper rifles with a large shot interval such as the Prototype.
* This weapon is good at moving around the map while firing at enemies, making it a very versatile weapon.
* Conserve ammo as it has average capacity.
* This gun is useful in taking down air targets with its high damage and fire rate and low recoil, the same goes with ground targets while you are in the air.
* Take the time to aim first if locked in a sniper duel.
* Be sure to aim for the head to maximize damage and conserve ammunition.
* When against an unarmored opponent, aim for the center of mass instead. They will be downed in a single bodyshot, and aiming for the center of mass can make aiming easier.
* Useful for tearing down enemy armor.
* This gun works extremely well with the Automatic Peacemaker, by using the Peacemaker's high rate of fire to weaken a heavily armoured target and then headshot the target with a few rounds with the Guerilla Rifle.

### Counters

* Strafe around the player to avoid being shot by the weapon.
* Hide behind an object, or outflank the user.
* Area damage can make short work on its users in close range.
* If you find a player camping with this weapon use a gun capable of killing the user in 1 shot or look for an opportunity to sneak behind them with your melee weapon.
* Get close with a powerful weapon, however, if you approach head-on, experienced users can kill you whilst excluding the scope. Ambush the user or attack from behind for the best results.
* A fast-firing weapon with a scope such as the Guerrilla Rifle will make the most of the weapon's slow firing speed.
* In medium/long range fights, move around and strafe with a heavy or a primary. Be wary though, as an experienced player can aim and hit you easily.
* Avoid routes which other users are known to frequent.
* It is not a one-shot weapons, so take evasive measures to outsmart him.
* Even though this weapon cannot 1-shot to the head, take note that it can severely cripple your health, allowing you to be finished off quite easily by any weapon.
