Strategy Guide

Strategy Guide[]

	This section outlines a strategy.
	Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.

The Reaper Sniper Rifle comes with a Suppressor prefixed by default, meaning you'll stay off enemy compasses when you fire. This makes the weapon great for stealthy long range kills.
Much like most other sniper rifles, players should aim above targets at long ranges to compensate for bullet drop. 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.
Bullet drop distances:
- 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:
- Crouching - 1st line
- Running - 3rd line
- Sprinting - 5th line
- Gliding - 7th line
- Flying (Wings of Icarus) - 7th line

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 Sniper Rifle.
The Reaper Sniper Rifle has a very slow reload time, so if you find yourself able to close the distance in a long range fight while an enemy reloads it, you'll have a major advantage.
