The Sniper Rifle is the Stock primary weapon for the Sniper. It is a single-shot, bolt-action rifle with a wooden stock and a massive telescopic scope, with a laser sight attached underneath.
The rifle has perfect accuracy, no damage ramp-up or fall-off, and is one of six weapons with a zoom sight, the others being the Sydney Sleeper, Machina, Bazaar Bargain, Hitman's Heatmaker, and AWPer Hand. The zoom display features a charge meter and a small, faded team-colored laser dot in the center. When zoomed in, the charge meter increases gradually from 0% to 100% during 3.3 seconds, indicating the amount of damage that will be done by the shot. The dot becomes clearer as the shot charges. The charge meter resets to 0% after a shot is fired or when the scope is unzoomed. Players are therefore required to continually zoom in on an opponent if they wish to deal the full amount of damage against an enemy. Firing the Sniper Rifle when out of zoom will deal minor damage.
While zoomed, the Sniper's movement speed is reduced to 27%, and slows even further to 1.33% when crouching. Furthermore, zooming cannot be performed when the Sniper is jumping or falling. The Sniper Rifle does not deliver random crits; however, if the player delivers a shot to an enemy's head while zoomed in, a headshot will occur which will deliver a guaranteed critical hit. Note that headshots cannot be scored if the Sniper fires while unscoped.
Whilst scoped, the Sniper Rifle projects a team-colored dot on walls or floors, serving as the laser sight for the Sniper. This can serve as a warning to other players of the Sniper's position. Resourceful Sniper players can circumvent this problem by deliberately aiming at objects or other surfaces in the foreground.
