Sniper rifle

Sniper rifle
The sniper rifle is the commoner of the two sniper rifles. Use this weapon to pick off other players from long distances. This gun uses Rifle ammo.

Appearance

 * It has a green body and a black barrel. It also features a large rectangular scope.

Advantages

 * You can pick users off longer distances than other weapon categories.
 * Easy to find. These rifles are found in large buildings and are rather common.
 * High damage. Just a shot to the head will down your opponent.

Counters

 * Use a weapon like the M4, AK47 or SMG to pick off the sniper. Sniper rifles have a low rate of fire and there is a rather large recoil.
 * Use its more powerful sibling, the 50.bmg Barrett as the Barrett has a more accurate scope and can be found at the Military base.
 * Rocket launchers can be used to shoot at the player. It is obviously not going to hit, but with its area damage, it will surely kill the opponent.

Trivia

 * It is based on the real-life AWP sniper rifle.
 * This is only one of the two types of sniper rifles in the game, the other being the Barrett.
