Understand Snipetron
Useful when…
- Use its semi-automatic hit-scan attack for aimed shots.
- Account for the four-round magazine, reload, and listed range falloff.
Shot profile and range
Each normal shot deals 180 physical damage: 144 Puncture, 18 Impact, and 18 Slash. It fires at 2 shots per second, with 30% critical chance, a 1.5× critical multiplier, and 12% status chance. The hit-scan attack begins falling off at 400 units and reaches a 50% reduction at 600 units.
Magazine and reload
Snipetron has a four-round magazine and a 3.5-second reload. Its semi-automatic trigger and these capacity figures describe a firing rhythm based on individual shots and reloads; the listed data gives no alternate attack.
Other sniper mechanics
Rubico is described as a long-range revolver-style rifle. Komorex has zoom-dependent features, including recoil reduction and punch-through at one zoom and a slower viral burst at the next. Sporothrix fires a projectile barb and has a separate area attack. These entries describe different mechanics, not a required upgrade path.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The hit-scan attack supports deliberate shot placement, while the four-round magazine and 3.5-second reload limit uninterrupted firing.
- Falloff begins at 400 units and reaches a 50% reduction at 600 units.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming a long-range role prevents the listed falloff.
- Planning sustained fire without accounting for its four-round magazine and 3.5-second reload.
