Talk:Sniper Rifle

Zoom Stack?
Does the zooming effect of the Sniper Rifle stack with that of the Rifle Scope and Binoculars? 76.10.63.86 11:17, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Binoculars only work when held, so no, but scope improves view range slightly (6 blocks)

Base Damage
Ive seen the base damage getting changed alot lately. And now its on 409 dmg. How is it possible to get 409? I can only manage 400 dmg. Shroomite Set, Menacing Destroyer Emblem, Menacing Avenger Emblem, Menacing Ranger Emblem, Menacing Sun/Moon Stone and Menacing Mechanical Glove. Along with the Well Fed buff you get 400 damage when standing still. Where is the last 9?
 * Your set is right, you just need to get Ruthless on sniper rifle.(+18% damage)
 * Thanks, Time to spend money reforging for Ruthless!
 * Actually, mechanical gloves do not increase damage of ranged or magic weapons, except on mobile. The menacing modifier will increase the damage of all types of weapons though.

Rarity
I have a sniper rifle with yellow rarity, and I have a damaged sniper rifle with cyan rarity. is the rifle's rarity broken or is it the prefix's?
 * This is weird. I just got a Sniper Rifle without prefixes and it has Cyan rarity. Sounds like a glitch to me... Smwforever45 (talk) 16:42, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
 * It's getting even weirder... I just switched between worlds and my Sniper Rifle was suddenly of Yellow rarity... I changed nothing else... Smwforever45 (talk) 17:13, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

Maximum Damage
With a menacing celestial stone and sniper scope, it's now possible to get the damage up to 426. The highest I have hit with it so far is 1052 with Shroomite armor, Menacing Destroyer Emblem, Menacing Avenger Emblem, Menacing Ranger Emblem, Menacing Celestial Stone and Menacing Sniper Scope
 * Are you adding bullet damage? because when you add bullet damage it's not base damage anymore.
 * As of 1.3.1, my rifle's damage can go up to 480, crit-chance is 81% & highest crit-damage seen by me is 1622 while using Endless Musket Pouch (green slime: https://postimg.org/image/rjpi45n1j/, you can add this image to the page if you wish), with Unreal Sniper Rifle, Shroomite armor with Mask, non-reforged Sniper Scope and Celestial Shell with +3% damage (I also used the armor's still-standing buff). I think that with top equipment like in the first comment more then 2000 dmg could be dealt in one shot (+10% Destroyer, +12% Avenger, +15% Ranger, +17% from 5 Menacing accessories). 109.252.45.55 14:26, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Speed
I see some videos where sniper rifle (ruthless) is Snail speed, but I have nothing that increases speed of ranger items and my (ruthless) Sniper rifle is Extremely Slow Speed. Was the speed of the rifle changed?
 * On this wiki it seems the speed info was changed on 20 March 2014‎. The most recent patch at that time was 1.2.3.1, though there doesn't appear to be any patch notes concerning the Sniper Rifle in it. The change might have occurred in an earlier patch, and/or it might have been an undocumented change. In what Terraria version were the videos you saw made in?

 * On closer inspection it seems this question is somewhat old (forgot to add  at first). My bad. NoseOfCthulhu (talk) 22:47, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Modifier
BEST MODIFIER IS LEGENDARY MY FRIEND GAS ONE!!! Clay64A (talk) 22:04, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Please refer to this comment. Legendary is a melee-only modifier and your friend is using an illegitimately altered rifle. Even if this were a point for debate, Legendary would be objectively inferior, because while the 209.85% increase in value and percentage increases in total stats (15/15/10/10/5) are shared among the three highest "best" modifiers, Legendary's increase to size has no effect on non-melee weapons, making it a wasted stat.
 * Please stop making this addition. Gearzein (talk) 22:44, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
