Part 22

Classic Sniper Rifle Overview: Introduced in UT2004 as a replacement for the original UT's sniper rifle, it's less powerful than the Lightning Gun but faster and less conspicuous. It features a scope for precise aiming.

Primary Fire: Fires a bullet with pinpoint accuracy, dealing 60 damage to the torso and 120 to the head. Rate of fire is 10 shots per 10 seconds. Each shot creates a visible puff of smoke that can obscure vision with consecutive shots.

Secondary Fire: Acts as a zoom function. Hold to zoom in gradually, release to set zoom level. Press again to zoom out. Moving, jumping, or falling does not affect the scope.

Tactics - Managing Smoke: To counter the smoke obscuring vision, alternate between standing and crouching between shots, or strafe left and right while firing and crouching.

Tactics - Stealth and Support: The rifle's stealth (short flash and smoke, no blue beam) makes it ideal for camping in Deathmatch or supporting objectives from a distance. It's harder for enemies to locate the sniper compared to the Lightning Gun.

Tactics - Offensive Use: Can be used to engage enemy snipers by observing muzzle flash or lightning. Also effective for softening up defenders before your team advances on an objective.

Tactics - Caution: Be aware that enemies will eventually discover your position. Avoid predictable camping spots, as the enemy team may conduct regular sweeps. Do not abuse these tactics, as it may draw personal attention.

Friendly Fire: Be mindful of friendly fire; you can easily shoot teammates.

Weapon Comparison: Slightly less powerful than the Lightning Gun but faster and much less likely to give away the sniper's position.

Damage vs. Vehicles: Deals 35 damage to vehicles.

Ammo: 1 ammo per shot, max 40 ammo.

Charge Time: N/A.

Special Features: Instant hit, bullet, pinpoint accuracy, headshot capability, smoke effect, scoped.
