Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle

The Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle is a Sniper Rifle in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was added in Season 0 with the launch of Battle Royale.

Functionality
The Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle is a fully-automatic weapon which fires a single, fast moving projectile bullet, which is affected by gravity (the bullet moves towards the floor over distance). The weapon is fitted with a Scope for long range engagements. Firing the weapon from the hip is very inaccurate also, having no indication on which direction the bullet will go. Unlike other Sniper Rifles it has multiple bullets in its magazine, allowing for repeated fire.

Stats
Semi Auto Snipers range from dealing 75 Damage per shot to 78 Damage per shot (90-93.6 damage per second). All Snipers use. The Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle has a headshot multiplier of 2.5x. The Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle is a Fast Moving Projectile weapon. As it uses a scope, the fired bullet will always shoot from the center of the crosshair. There is no damage falloff on the Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle's projectiles.

From when the weapon was last available in Season 9

Strategy Guide

 * The Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle can be fired several times before reloading, and so the player can afford to be less accurate when firing the weapon.
 * As the scope does not zoom in as far as other sniper rifles do, the Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle is better to use at mid range, as it can hit decent damage multiple times before reloading.
 * Holding the trigger won't work since the gun is Semi-automatic, to make it actually having a fire rate of 6.75, you will have to tap the trigger 6.75 times a sec. Though, when this version got introduced it was fully-automatic, it eventually got fixed back to semi-automatic and it was too overpowered.
