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 an attached laser sight.
The rifle has excellent accuracy, no damage falloff, and is one of four weapons with a zoom sight, the others being the Sydney Sleeper, Machina, and Bazaar Bargain. The zoom display features a charge meter and a small 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 size of the dot increases 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, movement speed for the class is slowed to 27%, and slows even further to 1.33% when crouching. Furthermore, zooming cannot be performed when the Sniper is jumping or falling. Should the player deliver a shot to an enemy's head while zoomed in, a headshot will occur which will deliver a guaranteed critical hit, however, the Sniper Rifle never randomly crits whatsoever. 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 surfaces in the foreground.
