Strategy[]
![]() |
This section outlines a strategy. | |
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- Much like most other sniper rifles, players should aim above targets at long ranges to compensate for bullet drop. When using the Sniper Optic, each tick mark roughly equates to 50m.
- A headshot from any rarity of this weapon overkills a player - dealing 250+ damage, making it good at incapacitating unaware, stationary enemies.
- Stay moving or remain well hidden if you are not ready to fire back.
- The Thermal optic can be a good alternative for players with high controller sensitivity as the Sniper Optic swings around while aiming and could cost unskilled players a clear shot. Additionally it has no sniper glare, which nets players using one a good abundance of time when lining up a shot if one is not comfortable out right removing the scope.
- Using the Angled Foregrip could make the ADS time significantly faster, particularly paired with either the Red Eye Sight or the Holo-13 Optic. This combination of mods are great for mid to close range fights, enabling the player to get quick damage done or quick kill in battle if a shot is connected on the head.
- The Sniper has very high bullet drop so using low zoom sights like Red Eye sight, Holo-13 optic or the Thermal optic makes it feel like it has low bullet drop than the sniper optic. The Sniper optic has glare while the others don't. The Thermal optic is better at medium to long range than the sniper optic. Red eye sight and Holo-13 optic are good close to medium range.
- Bullet drop distances. Only for Sniper Scope with 9 lines below the center:
- 40m or less - Center
- 50m - 1st line
- 75m - 2nd line
- 100m - 3rd line
- 125m - 3.5 lines
- 150m - 4th line
- 175m - 4.5 lines
- 200m - 5th line
- 225m - 5.5 lines
- 250m - 6.5 lines
- 275m - 7th line
- 300m - 7.5 lines
- 325m - 8th line
- 350m - 8.5 lines
- 375m - 9th line
- The position of aim when opponent is moving. It is the same no matter what distance the opponent is away from you. Only for Sniper Scope with 9 lines around the left and right sides of the center:
- Crouching - 1st line
- Running - 3rd line
- Sprinting - 5th line
- Sliding - 5th line
- Gliding - 7th line
- Flying(Wings of Icarus) - 7th line
Trivia[]
- Reaper Modular Sniper Rifle resembles the M2010 ESR.[1]
- The Reaper Modular Sniper Rifle has the slowest fire rate out of all the multi-round weapons in the game.
- Even though the icon of the weapon shows it with a Sniper Optic, a completely unmodded Modular Reaper Sniper Rifle has an iron sight.
- The Reaper Modular Sniper Rifle is:
- The only Sniper Rifle Available to still have a crosshair when it is modded with a Sniper Optic.
- The first Mod Compatible weapon that can appear with an extra mod. For instance, an Uncommon Reaper Modular Sniper Rifle that spawns with a Sniper Optic has a chance to have an additional Mod as opposed to the traditional one mod sported by all other Uncommon weapons if the Optic isn't the randomly selected option.
- As of Update v33.20, the Reaper Modular Sniper Rifle uses the same reload animation as its Ballistic counterpart in First-Person modes as long as the Default Magazine is equipped.
