Strategy

Strategy[]

Calculated - Emote - Fortnite This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • Much like most other sniper rifles, players should aim above targets at long ranges to compensate for bullet drop. When using the Sniper Optic, each tick mark roughly equates to 50m.
  • A headshot from any rarity of this weapon overkills a player - dealing 250+ damage, making it good at incapacitating unaware, stationary enemies.
    • Stay moving or remain well hidden if you are not ready to fire back.
  • A viable weapon mod combo for the Reaper Modular Sniper Rifle is the Thermal Optic Thermal Optic, Drum Mag Drum Mag, Angled Foregrip Angled Foregrip, and Suppressor Suppressor.
    • The Thermal Optic Thermal Optic can help track enemies in medium and long range due to its thermal vision. It also doesn't have any sniper glare, so enemies may not be able to tell if the player is using a sniper.
    • The Drum Mag Drum Mag increases the magazine size from 3 to 5. There are also low differences between the reload time of the Drum Mag Drum Mag and the Speed Mag Speed Mag, making the Speed Mag Speed Mag almost pointless.
    • The Angled Foregrip Angled Foregrip reduces the time it takes to aim down sights, making it good for quick scopes.
    • The Suppressor Suppressor removes the "blip" on the compass when the weapon is fired. It also lowers the firing sound of the weapon, making it harder for enemies to tell where the sniping is coming from.
  • The Thermal Optic Thermal Optic can be a good alternative for players with high controller sensitivity as the Sniper Scope Sniper Scope swings around while aiming and could cost unskilled players a clear shot. Additionally, the Thermal Optic Thermal Optic has no sniper glare, which nets players using one a good abundance of time when lining up a shot if one is not comfortable out right removing the scope.
  • The Sniper has very high bullet drop, so using low zoom sights like Red Eye Sight Red Eye Sight, Holo-13 Optic Holo-13 Optic, or the Thermal Optic Thermal Optic makes it feel like it has low bullet drop than the Sniper Scope Sniper Scope. The Sniper Scope Sniper Scope also has glare while the others don't. The Thermal Optic Thermal Optic is better at medium to long range than the sniper optic. Red Eye Sight Red Eye Sight and Holo-13 opticHolo-13 Optic Holo-13 Optic are good close to medium range.
  • Bullet drop distances. Only for Sniper Scope Sniper Scope with 9 lines below the center:
    • 40m or less - Center
    • 50m - 1st line
    • 75m - 1.5 lines
    • 100m - 2nd line
    • 125m - 2.5 lines
    • 150m - 3rd line
    • 175m - 3.5 lines
    • 200m - 4th line
    • 225m - 4.5 lines
    • 250m - 5th line
    • 275m - 5.5 lines
    • 300m - 6th line
    • 325m - 6.5 lines
    • 350m - 7th line
    • 375m - 7.5 lines
    • 400m - 8th line
    • 425m - 8.5 lines
    • 450m - 9th line
  • The position of aim when opponent is moving. It is the same no matter what distance the opponent is away from you. Only for Sniper Scope Sniper Scope with 9 lines around the left and right sides of the center:
    • Crouching - 1st line
    • Running - 3rd line
    • Sprinting - 5th line
    • Gliding - 7th line
    • Flying (Wings of Icarus) - 7th line
  • Please take note that currently, a visual bug exists in Creative/UEFN where the crosshairs when Scoped in with any of the 4 available scopes (and likely the P2X if you have access to one from a saved loadout prior to the Optics removal from the Mod Bench) is rather highly skewed upwards, rather than being centered. Due to this, it may be significantly harder to judge your shots with the Reaper than it used to be at longer ranges.

Counters[]

  • Carrying mobility items such as Shockwave Grenades can be beneficial as the high bullet drop and slow fire rate can make hitting shots difficult for an opponent wielding a Reaper Modular Sniper Rifle.

Trivia

Trivia[]

  • The Reaper Modular Sniper Rifle resembles the M2010 ESR.[1]
  • The Reaper Modular Sniper Rifle has the slowest fire rate out of all the multi-round weapons in the game.
  • In Creative, the Reaper Modular Sniper Rifle will always spawn equipped with a Sniper Scope Sniper Scope by default.
  • The Reaper Modular Sniper Rifle is:
    • The only Sniper Rifle available to still have a crosshair when it is modded with a Sniper Optic.
    • The first Mod Compatible weapon that can appear with an extra mod. For instance, an Uncommon Reaper Modular Sniper Rifle that spawns with a Sniper Optic has a chance to have an additional mod as opposed to the traditional one mod sported by all other Uncommon weapons if the Optic isn't the randomly selected option.
  • As of Update v37.00, the Reaper Modular Sniper Rifle uses the same reload animation as its Ballistic counterpart in First-Person modes as long as the Default Magazine or Speed Mag Speed Mag is equipped.
  • Prior to its multiple nerfs to bullet speed and drop, it had the fastest bullet speed of any non-hitscan weapon, and after the nerfs, it now has worse bullet speed and drop then most sniper rifles.
