- — In-Game Description
The Suppressed Sniper Rifle is a Sniper Rifle in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was introduced in Season 7.
Functionality[]
The Suppressed Sniper Rifle is weapon which fires a single, fast moving, projectile bullet, which is affected by gravity. The weapon is fitted with a Scope for long range engagements but has only one bullet in its magazine, and thus has to be reloaded after every shot. Its scope, damage and lack of damage falloff makes it well-suited for long range combat, but its hipfire inaccuracy – having no indication on which direction the bullet will go – and single-shot magazine makes it ineffective at close range. When firing, the weapon does not make a blip on the compass.
Stats[]
Suppressed Sniper Rifles range from dealing 105 Damage per shot to 116 Damage per shot (78.75 - 87 damage per second). All Suppressed Sniper Rifles use 
Heavy Bullets. The Suppressed Sniper Rifle has a headshot multiplier of 2.5x.

Strategy Guide[]
- Players should aim above targets at long ranges to compensate for bullet drop. The further the target the higher the player should aim.
- Players should aim in the direction a target is moving at long ranges to compensate for the bullet travel time. The faster and further the target the further the player should aim.
- When aiming, the enemy can see the reflect flash of the scope.
- Despite being a suppressed weapon, the landing of the bullet (if missed) may still warn enemies, potentially causing them to be more cautious about hidden snipers. It's better to aim at an enemy that is busy on something (i.e., healing or aiming something else).
- It is also good at initiating fights against NPCs thanks to its high headshot damage.

Trivia[]
- When shooting and then instantly reloading, the player will be unable to shot again for a few seconds. This happens because, unlike the Hunting Rifle which has a fire rate of 0.8, the Suppressed Sniper Rifle has a fire rate of 0.33. Meaning that the weapon reloads faster then its firing rate.
- This got fixed in the v24.20 update by increasing its fire rate to 0.75.
- The player can manually delay a reload by remaining scoped in with this weapon. This is to allow for players to visualize where their bullet lands, which would be much more difficult if the player was forced out of the scope.
- The weapon appears to simply be the Bolt Action Sniper, with a dark grey camouflage applied, alongside the addition of a suppressor.
- Oddly, the weapon's in-game model does not have camouflage, while the icon does.
- This is due to the icon using the render model of the weapon from Chapter 1: Season 7 instead of a render of the weapon when it’s in-game model was changed in Chapter 2.
- Oddly, the weapon's in-game model does not have camouflage, while the icon does.
