Strategy Guide

Strategy Guide[]

Calculated - Emote - Fortnite This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • The Automatic Sniper Rifle utilizes bullet drop, meaning at medium and long ranges you'll need to lead your shots.
    • This can be done by aiming ahead of opponents that are moving and aiming above opponents that are distant.
  • The Automatic Sniper Rifle has very little recoil, making it an excellent weapon for newer players to learn.
  • Only hip fire the Automatic Sniper Rifle if you're less than 3 meters away from your opponent, as this weapon has horrible hip-fire accuracy.
  • The Automatic Sniper Rifle excels at medium-to-long ranges where bloom-based Assault Rifles may struggle to land shots consistently.
  • Try not to challenge other Sniper Rifles while using this weapon, as most other snipers can deal over 200+ damage with a single headshot while the Automatic Sniper Rifle has to land repeated shots to pick up an elimination.
  • The Automatic Sniper Rifle does not feature sniper glint, so you don't have to worry about being extra visible while aiming in with this weapon.

Counters[]

  • The Automatic Sniper Rifle, due to its lower zoom scope, can be outperformed at range by a regular Sniper Rifle. Carrying a normal Sniper Rifle can be beneficial in longer range engagements against an opponent wielding an Automatic Sniper Rifle.
  • In the same vein, the Automatic Sniper Rifle has a poor hipfire spread, and due to bullet drop, will be less beneficial at close-mid range. An Assault Rifle equipped with a red-dot sight or an SMG would be beneficial against an opponent wielding the Automatic Sniper Rifle at these ranges.

Trivia

Trivia[]

  • The Automatic Sniper Rifle is based on the Soviet VSS Vintorez.
    • This would also mean that the Automatic Sniper Rifle should be a Marksman Rifle rather than a Sniper Rifle. However, the weapon would need to be renamed as Automatic DMR, which is unlikely.
  • The Automatic Sniper Rifle is secretly suppressed, despite it not being mentioned anywhere except its weapon ID.
    • This can be observed when firing it near a Guard AI, as they will not detect the weapon being fired unless hit directly. This trait can be seen on other suppressed weapons, like the Suppressed Assault Rifle.
  • The Automatic Sniper Rifle is the only Sniper Rifle to use Medium Bullets - Ammunition - Fortnite Medium Bullets.
  • Prior to its addition to Creative, the Uncommon Automatic Sniper Rifle was only available in the Unvaulted LTM after Update v15.40.
  • This weapon was in the loot pool of Season X and Chapter 2: Season 8, both being the ending seasons of their chapter, and vaulted immediately upon the start of the new chapter.
