The **Sniper Rifle** is the Primary weapon used by the Hunter. It was present during the game's launch. With it's high base damage, it can one-shot every other class but the Spray N Pray.

Overview

The **Sniper Rifle** in Krunker is based off its real-life counterpart, the British-made *Arctic Warfare* rifle series. The **Intervention** model of the Sniper Rifle in Krunker is based off its real-life counterpart, the American-made *CheyTac M2000 Intervention**,*** a bolt-action sniper rifle. The **Good Ol' Days** model of the Sniper Rifle in Krunker is an earlier version of the current Sniper Rifle model; similar to the current model, this earlier model of the Sniper Rifle is based off it's real-life counterpart, British-made *Arctic Warfare* rifle series. The **Scout Mastery** model of the Sniper Rifle in Krunker is based off its real-life counterpart, the American-made *Remington Model 721*, a bolt-action sporting rifle. Like many of Krunker's weapons, the Sniper Rifle is based off of its predecessors in Vertix.io and Karnage.io.

In-game, the **Sniper Rifle** is a bolt-action rifle firing slightly more than 40 rounds per minute. Its long range and high base damage allows this weapon to one-hit kill almost all classes at most engagement distances.

Due to the Hunter's low health, players must land their first shot with this weapon or risk being out-gunned by all other classes. The only exception to this would be when encountering a Spray N Pray since that is the only class the sniper rifle cannot one shot, meaning players have to finish off the opponent with either another shot or a secondary and/or melee weapon.

The sniper is the only weapon that can obtain the bonuses for **quick-scope**, **360!** and **no-scope kills**. Combined with the hunter's low health, this can create high-risk, high-reward scenarios that must be resolved quickly by the player to decide whether or not to try to perform a riskier move for extra points. However, slide-hopping makes this remove some incentive to perform a proper sniper role, allowing for a playstyle more akin to a typical shotgun role, which many players adopt.

Trivia

* The first krunker.io Unobtainable skin was the Jagdfaust IV, released in Season 2.
* Version 1.2.7 completely reworked the sniper rifle model, but the original sniper model can still be accessed by unlocking the Good Ol' Days contraband sniper rifle.
* Originally, there was an epic krunker.io skin called K-Mas released in Season 1, but was removed likely due to the dash being an illegal character. All players who owned the skin at the time were refunded the AWP Supersport skin.
* The sniper rifle is the only weapon with a scope instead of an ironsight. This scope can be altered in Settings>Game>Scope Image.
	+ However one skin called Kr-98 uses an ironsight instead of a scope.
