Sniper Rifle

The Sniper Rifle is the primary long-range weapon in War Brokers. It is 1 of 3 long-range rifles, and 1 of 6 weapons capable of 1-shot kills (the others being the .50 Caliber Rifle, the Crossbow, the Knife, the Shotgun, and the Tactical Shotgun). This weapon is the most popular long-range rifle in Classic Mode.

## Design

The Sniper Rifle is a long-range, Sniper-class weapon, roughly designed to appear like the real-life Type 96 or L96 Sniper Rifle (video here). The gun is mostly colored in a grey-green hue, except for the black barrel. In Battle Royale Mode, it is known to fire Rifle Ammo.

The gun's colorings can be adjusted with weapon skins, available for purchase in shop from time to time.

## Performance

   The Sniper Rifle is a skill-based weapon meant primarily for long to extreme ranged engagements. In Classic Mode, it comes equipped with an 8x scope (also known as the Sniper Scope) which has ranged bullet drop-off guidelines built into the scope. It deals exactly 200 damage at any range less than 800m on a body shot. It fires an instant kill to the head under 1000m. While in the Battle Royale Mode, damage will be varied based on what armor the target has equipped. The magazine holds only 5 rounds with a 3-second shot delay in between (the same time as the weapon's full mag reload). The hip-fire spread is small as shown in the un-zoomed reticle on screen; however, it grows extremely large once the player starts moving.

    While you are ADS (Aiming Down Sights), the player will see a series of numbers and lines that appear below the reticle and a range-finder above the aiming reticle. When the cross-hair is placed at the opponent's feet, the vertical guidelines will display how far away the enemy is. Likewise, the guidelines at the bottom are where the bullet will land at each range increment (see attached in Image Gallery). The projectile is not instantaneous and will take time to reach your target. Although the delay may seem negligible, it can mean the difference between a hit and a miss. Therefore, when firing on moving enemies, it is vital that you anticipate the target's path and lead your shot by aiming slightly ahead of them. Hitting moving targets is not an easy feat, as you must take into account both vertical and horizontal compensation.

Amateur snipers will start out by using the increments, while experienced players are able to quickly determine the amount of compensation necessary with a glance at the target. With practice, your accuracy and speed can be perfected. Even though the Sniper Rifle can be used for all ranges, most people prefer to use it at 400 meters and less.

Due to its potential use at any range, it is considered one of the highest skill capped weapons in the game, and plenty of squads look for players who have experience with this rifle.

## Customization

Like all weapons (aside from the VSS, which has a naturally equipped silencer and scope), the Sniper Rifle in Battle Royale starts off with no attachments, but they can be collected and attached throughout the match.
The Sniper Rifle is the only gun in Classic Mode that comes equipped with a Sniper Scope.

### Scopes

The Sniper Rifle can equip every type of scope (2x, 4x, 6x, or Sniper Scope).

### Mags

The Sniper Rifle can only use the Fast Mag to decrease reload time. The Sniper Rifle has a magazine capped in all game modes at 5 rounds.

### Grips

It can also use a Stock which decreases sway and recoil on all weapons that it can be equipped on (BR, Dead End City only).

### Accessories

The Silencer decreases the noise and flash when firing.

The Flash Reducer decreases barrel flash.

The Compensator decreases the gun's recoil.

## Trivia

* In Classic mode, the Sniper Rifle has the longest zoom of any weapon due to its equipped Sniper Scope (8x), alongside the Auto Sniper.

* Although not labelled, there are black guidelines for ranges 1000 and above symbolized by the lines further down on the bottom area of the scope (see attached in Image Gallery).

* After 800m, the Sniper Rifle starts to receive slight damage drop-off, and past 1000m, it no longer kills in one headshot.
* You can easily take down a vehicle with this gun within 3 shots if it has below 210hp (the tank is an exception)
* In Battle Royale, if the player does not equip the Sniper Rifle with a scope, the player's hand will not operate the bolt as seen in the video below
* The Sniper Rifle's sound effects are shared by that of the .50 Cal Sniper.
* There is a glitch in Classic 8v8 that a Sniper has no scope.
