Apart from being able to deal a decent amount of damage the biggest benefit of using the Sniper Rifle is its 5x magnification scope which allows the wielder to pick off targets from long ranges with incredible accuracy. This weapon is particularly effective at exploiting enemy weak points from range. The downside to the Sniper Rifle is its bolt action which only fires one shot before needing a reload.
