Strategy Guide
Strategy Guide[]
|
This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- Players should aim above targets at long ranges to compensate for the bullet drop. The further the target, the higher the player should aim. They should also aim in the direction a target is moving at long ranges to compensate for the bullet travel time. The faster and further the target, the further the player should aim.
- The Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle is able to deal over 250+ damage to the head in every rarity except Common. Because of this, always aim for headshots to eliminate your opponent in a single, well-placed shot.
- The Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle features sniper glint while aimed in, so make sure to only aim in when you're certain you can line up and hit your shot quickly. Otherwise, you may reveal your position prematurely.
- The Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle should not be used against opponents in close quarters, as its hip fire accuracy is incredibly poor and it only has a single shot in its magazine.
- The Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle can be used against a freshly-placed wooden build piece to destroy it and replace it as your own.
- The Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle is best used in combination with the Sniper Surplus augment, as it allows you to fire two rounds before reloading rather than one.
Counters[]
- The Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle has slow bullet travel, so it can be easily overwhelmed at close-mid range. Because of this, carrying an Assault Rifle or DMR can beneficial when engaged with an opponent wielding a Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle.

Trivia
Trivia[]
- The player can manually delay a reload by remaining scoped in with this weapon, allowing players to visualize where their bullet lands, which would be much more complicated if the player was forced out of the scope.
- The Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle is technically not Bolt-Action when considering the weapon's mechanics in the game. If the weapon were bolt action, it would allow a second shot to be chambered before reloading. However, the weapon appears to be single-action and single-shot in-game. As such, the weapon is incorrectly named.
- The Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle uses the same model as the Scoped Dragonfly from Save the World.
Visuals[]
- The Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle is based on the British Accuracy International AWM. In reality, the AWM is a bolt-action sniper rifle which can fire multiple shots before reloading.
- The AWM as standard has a magazine size of 5.
- The Icon for the weapon was not a bolt action weapon at all, regardless of gameplay. The model for the Sniper Rifle did not have a bolt loader. Instead, it used an automatic bolt like an automatic weapon.
