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 Amban Sniper Rifle is very effective in darker areas due to its built in thermal scope, and also has a much higher zoom scope than the IQA-11 Marksman Blaster Rifle, allowing you to take shots at opponents at much farther ranges without being seen.
  • Keep in mind that the Amban Sniper Rifle can one shot fully shielded enemies in every rarity in Builds: In Zero Build, it can only one shot in Legendary rarity.
  • The Amban Sniper Rifle is unique in that it doubles as a Sniper and a melee weapon, allowing you to get space between you and an opponent should they engage you in close quarters.
  • Keep in mind that the Amban Sniper Rifle only can fire one round before having to cooldown, so having an Assault Rifle such as the A280-CFE Blaster Rifle or DC-15 Heavy Blaster Rifle to swap to after taking a shot with the Amban Sniper Rifle can be beneficial.

Counters[]

  • LIke the IQA-11 Marksman Blaster Rifle, the Amban Sniper Rifle has sniper glint. Watching for sniper glint and staying behind cover can massively reduce the effectiveness of an opponent's Amban Sniper Rifle.
  • The Amban Sniper Rifle can only shoot once before having to cooldown, so having a weapon that can fire fast or has a larger effective magazine size can be beneficial against an opponent using it.
