Sniper Rifles (Class)

Sniper Rifles, are a type of weapon in Fortnite: Battle Royale. The purpose of these weapons is for long range combat. Most Sniper Rifles use, whilst some use.

Functionality
Sniper Rifles fill the role of a long range weapon and are often used to attack opponents at ranges where un-scoped weapons cannot easily see them. Most Sniper Rifles have a projectile bullet, meaning that the bullet does not instantly hit where the player aims. The projectile is affected by gravity, and different sniper rifles fire different speed projectiles. Exceptions include the Rail Gun and Zapotron. Sniper Rifles do not have fall-off damage, meaning they deal the same damage up close as they do at any range, allowing for most of them knock a player at any range with a single well placed shot.

Strategy Guide

 * Unlike other weapons, players need to account for bullet drop when using most Sniper Rifles. The greater the range of the shot, the more the bullet drops on the way to the target. You should also account for the speed a player is moving alongside range. If a player is far away and moving left for example, the player should aim above the target and further left, to compensate for the bullet speed and drop.

Trivia

 * The Zapotron was a weapon included on the launch of Battle Royale. It was a hitscan laser type weapon and there is only one clip of its existence.. It was removed shortly after. It is also the only weapon in Battle Royale outside of an LTM to use.
 * Eliminating a player without aiming down sights with any of these weapons shows a 'NO SCOPED' message in the kill feed. This is in reference to the concept of 'no-scoping' popularized by the Call of Duty franchise.
