What are Sniper Rifles

Can Deal the Highest Single-Shot Damage from Afar

Sniper rifles are, no doubt, the weapon with the highest damage from a single shot. This weapon performs exceptionally well in dealing the most damage to weak spots. However, due to its low ammo capacity and fire rate, it's difficult to use sniper rifles on fast-moving targets that constantly run toward you. Even in boss fights, where the boss may move around a lot, it's easy to miss a shot.
