Sniper Rifle



The Sniper Rifle is a ranged weapon dropped by Skeleton Snipers in the Dungeon if the world has entered Hardmode and Plantera has been defeated.. It fires a fast, powerful bullet which can kill most enemies in one shot. It also has the added capability of "zooming out", a function identical to the Rifle Scope and the Binoculars, where the screen scrolls approximately half the distance the mouse moves. It increases your critical hit chance by 15%.

Musket Balls and Silver Bullets shot from this weapon gain the effects (but not damage) of High Velocity Bullets.

Trivia

 * This weapon can be thought of as the long-awaited upgrade to the Musket, due to their similar sprites, and both having relatively high base damage and low speed stats relative to their tier.
