### Tips

* Aim for head to maximize the damage.
* Snipe from the hidden place so you will not be noticed by the players.
* Hit and run tactics with this weapon are very efficient.
* This weapon has a very large hitbox, similar to the Tactical Bow. It is recommended to no-scope for easier kills at medium range.
* It is possible to use this weapon for medium-range combat too. This technique requires more skills.
* Its 10X scope makes it a devastating weapon from a long distance.
* Aiming for the opponent's head is always recommended, but this weapon can damage the enemy badly with body shots, too.
* Enemies may move when you miss with the laser beam, giving you easier chances for headshots.
* It can one shot (head shot-wise) players no matter what armor they have, so try to get a head shot while attacking an enemy for the best damage.
* Its good mobility can be used for fleeing purposes and that this allows you to jump around.

### Counters

* Use a shotgun, submachine-gun or assault rifle to take him or her out from close range. This weapon is not good at close range.
* Using explosive weapons will make the enemy fall from his/her sniping area or disorient him/her. It could also kill him or her.
* Always carry an other gun that carries a lot of ammo if your Anti-Hero Rifle runs out of ammo, since snipers don't carry a lot of ammunition.
* Do not stop moving and continue to strafe around users close by, especially in bigger maps, such as Ant's Life.
* The weapon is powerful at headshots, so keep avoiding a good shot from an enemy.
* It's hard to use this weapon in close range, so use a close/medium range weapon to counter when you're close to the enemy.
* Track the laser from where it came from, locating an enemy player.
* Pick off its users from long ranges while still unsuspected.
* Avoid routes which other users are known to frequent.
* Experienced users can easily no-scope with this weapon, so strafing is recommended.
* 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.
* Skilled player is always a problem. As the slow reloading time will no longer be a problem to them. So always get covered and get an ranged area damage weapon and fast mobility primary weapon to increase the chance of taking down the users.
* A semi-effective counter to this weapon is using weapons with the Slowing Targets down attribute. However, be aware that skilled users would know how to counter this strategy.
