The Photon Sniper Rifle is a Sniper weapon introduced in the 11.3.0 update.

Description

It is a red sniper rifle that shoots red burning bullets in long range. Surprisingly, this weapon can 1 shot headshot a max armored player which is contradicting to its grade and efficiency. However, it is not recommended to be used at higher levels (30+) if not upgraded. As of the 16.3.0 update, this weapon can be used at any level as long it’s maxed out.

Appearance

This weapon has a dark red finished body with several bright yellow parts that are similar to the Photon Shotgun. It has a skeleton stock that is connected to the handle. The weapon also has a dark red/bright yellow barrel with an illuminated green front sight and a gas tube underneath. A scope is mounted on top of the body that gives the user 8x magnification.

Combat

The player, holding this sniper with both hands, makes this gun shoot single red burning bullets with instant bullet travel time. If the player was still alive after the shot, they would receive a burning effect, making them receive damage continuously for a few seconds. The scope allows long range battles, just like most sniper weapons. When reloading, the magazine from the weapon's bottom is taken out and is replaced by another. There are no delay mechanics in this weapon.

Strategy

Tips

  • When you are in Sniper Forts, this is an effective weapon to use since it has an 8x scope.
