Disambig This article is about the Save the World weapon. For the Battle Royale version, see Sniper Rifle (Battle Royale).

Sniper Rifles are a specific class of gun in Save the World.

Overview[]

Obtaining[]

All sniper rifles can be found from chests and as floor loot. All gold snipers can be found from Supply Drop (Battle Royale). The Zapotron was the rarest sniper in game and could only be found in Supply Drop (Battle Royale).

Ammuntion[]

Most sniper rifles use Heavy Bullets, while the Zapotron uses Energy Cells as ammo and the Automatic sniper rifle which uses Medium Bullets instead.

Magazine Clip Sizes[]

All sniper rifles have a clip size of magazine from 1 bullet to 16 bullets, typically 1. The Automatic sniper rifle has the highest magazine size as a sniper holding 16 bullets, followed by the Semi-automatic sniper rifle, with a mag size of 10. Then the Zapotron, with a mag size of 4.

Fire Rate[]

All sniper rifle fire rates are quite slow. The fastest firing weapon is the Uncommon and Rare Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle at 1.2 bullets per second, while the slowest firing weapon is the Epic and Legendary Heavy Sniper Rifle with only one shot and a reload time of nearly 5 seconds.

ADS (Aim Down Sight)[]

Most sniper rifles appear with a scope when zooming in or holding the default ADS button. The Hunting Rifle and Zapotron ADS however don't appear with a scope and instead just zooms in the view.

Damage Drop-off[]

Damage drop-off is the reduction of damage dealt by a ranged weapon to a structure or an enemy the further the target is from the user.

Sniper Rifles generally do the same damage at all ranges, however, non scoped snipers and some scoped ones have damage drop-off beginning at 7 tiles, then 14 tiles, and finally 20 tiles.

The only scoped snipers with damage drop off are:

There are only 2 non scoped snipers with no drop-off.

<*>The Boom Bow apparently doesn't have damage drop-off of the explosion from its center either, unlike most explosives.
