Strategy Guide
Strategy Guide[]
|
This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- The Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle can be fired several times before reloading, and so the player can afford to be less accurate when firing in order to add constant pressure to an enemy, when playing in team based Gamemodes.
- However, because the weapon uses 10 bullets per mag, and you can only carry a maximum of 50 heavy bullets, try to minimise your ammo consumption.
- As the scope does not zoom in as far as other sniper rifles do, the Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle is better to use at mid range, as it can hit decent damage multiple times before reloading.
- Although you can still use it at long ranges because of its faster bullet velocity and more linear projectile than most bolt-action rifles.
- Try to hit headshots, as it has an 2.5x damage multiplier. Headshots deals the same damage as the Heavy Sniper Rifle, Hunting Rifle and Hunter Bolt-Action Sniper, which, in comparison, they deal more body damage than the Semi-Auto.
Counters[]
- The Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle, while a decent option, has less zoom on its scope than other Sniper Rifles, making it less effective at long-range. At these ranges, a Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle is much more effective at finding targets.
