Strategy

Strategy[]

Calculated - Emote - Fortnite This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • Being the most expensive weapon in Ballistic, the Reaper Sniper Rifle is a big investment. Its important to play carefully when bought, as losing it is a massive waste of Credits that sets you back for the next round.
  • With the ability to One-Shot enemies with shield to the body, the Reaper Sniper Rifle is a great weapon for holding down long ranged positions.
  • Be careful when aiming with the Reaper Sniper Rifle, as hitting an opponent in the legs will only deal 120 damage. This will require a follow-up shot from the weapon itself, or your Sidearm to secure an elimination.

Counters[]

  • The Reaper Sniper Rifle is not a great pick on close range, highly aggressive maps like Storm Chaser Cove.
  • In close range fights, the Reaper Sniper Rifle can be outright powerless against Shotguns, as opponents wielding them can utilize their great jumping accuracy to avoid a one-shot bodyshot.
  • Other close range weapons such as the Hyper SMG, Striker AR, and Drum Gun are strong counters against the Reaper Sniper Rifle.
