Skeleton Sniper drop and heavy single-shot damage
Obtained as a rare drop from the Skeleton Sniper in post-Plantera Dungeon chambers featuring slab background walls. The Sniper Rifle boasts the highest single-hit base damage among firearms, dealing 200 base ranged damage with 8 knockback and an innate 29% critical strike rate at a use time of 36. Holding the rifle allows players to right-click to pan and zoom the screen view across distant terrain.
Stealth ambush multipliers and long-range optics
Despite its slow fire rate, pairing the rifle with Shroomite Helmet in stationary stealth mode alongside the Ranger Emblem and Sniper Scope pushes critical strike chance above 100%. Single strikes can surpass 1,000 damage, eliminating tough Dungeon monsters in a single shot. High-velocity bullets or Chlorophyte Bullet guarantee precision hits against distant foes. The optimal prefix is Unreal.
Trivia
- Right-clicking while holding the rifle shifts the camera focus toward the cursor, functioning like a built-in scope.
- Its base critical strike chance is the highest among all ranged projectile firearms in the game.
