Sniper Rifle

The Sniper Rifle is a rare weapon in Alpha Prime.

Official description
''Quite the opposite of the Machine Gun. This high-powered rifle fires single bullets that can penetrate armor and take out the enemy even at great distances. It’s best used for sniping.''

Information
The Sniper Rifle is the fourth weapon you find in the game. It is the successor to the Machine Gun. You can find it in the basement of the Alpha Prime mining station, next to a control panel that shuts off the generators. You can also find ammo for this weapon in a locker in the next room. It is a very devastating weapon and it is recommended you conserve ammo, and use it for only tough situations.

Trivia

 * This weapon has a flip-out screen on the side of the barrel that resembles the scope in modern-day sniper rifles.
 * Only a few enemies use this weapon, one is a soldier camping on the roof near Olivier's ship.
 * This weapon deals critical damage if fired to the head. However, to destroy some robots, you need to land two headshots.
 * The weapon may be a railgun, due to the "lightning" bolts shown on the HUD, instead of ammo.
