''This article describes a Pixel Gun 3D weapon. If you're looking for the same weapon in Pixel Gun World, see Elephant Hunter (PGW).''

The Elephant Hunter is a Sniper weapon introduced in the 8.0.0 update, and was an upgrade of the Ultimate Headhunter. It later became an independent weapon.

Appearance
It is a large anti-material rifle. It bares resemblance to the real-life Barrett M82 rifle with dark desert camouflage and red stripes on the sides. It has a long black barrel and a black scope.

Strategy
It has great efficiency, average rate of fire, low capacity and normal mobility.

Tips

 * Use this weapon at long distances to maximize the scope's usefulness.
 * Be sure to aim for the head to maximize damage and conserve ammunition.
 * When against an unarmored opponent, aim for the center of mass instead. They will be downed in a single bodyshot, and aiming for the center of mass can make aiming easier.
 * Take the time to aim first if locked in a sniper duel.

Counter

 * Get in close with a weapon with lots of damage, however, if you approach head-on, experienced players can kill you without using the scope. Ambush the user or attack from behind for the best results.
 * A fast-firing weapon with a scope such as the Guerrilla Rifle will make the most of the weapon's slow firing speed.
 * Avoid routes which other users are known to frequent.
 * You can counter this with an another sniper weapon.
 * Pick off its users from long ranges while still unsuspected.
 * Area damage weapons are good counters due to their knockbacks where it will mess the users' aim. Use them in a range where the users can't mostly dodge the projectiles.

Weapon Setups

 * Have a close range weapon along with this one. A shotgun can be effective if you are cornered or ambushed.
 * Alternatively, a scoped rifle can be used for eliminating unarmored targets, saving ammunition for tougher foes.
 * Regardless, be sure to have a reliable weapon to use at close range.

Trivia

 * It is based off the real world Barrett M107A1 .50 BMG sniper rifle with desert camouflage. Even though it is commonly viewed as a sniper weapon, it is actually an anti-material rifle.
 * Curiously, when this weapon fires, the bolt pulls back. This would have cycled another round, making operating the bolt unnecessarily complicated.
 * You can now buy it in the shop without upgrading the Ultimate Headhunter.
 * It was once glitched and couldn't be equipped.
 * In the 10.0.0 update, it received an extra upgrade.
 * In the same update, for some users, this rifle did not appear in the shop, but could still be bought from the killcam screen this was patched in the following update.
 * It can make the person you are shooting at weak, because the damage of this gun's headshot is very strong.
 * As of the 10.0.4 update, this weapon and its upgrade has been removed, but previous owners still own it, being a Pixel Gun on other's screens. The Kill Cam still shows the weapon as an Elephant Hunter though.
 * However, it was brought back in the 12.1.0 update.
