狙击步枪

The Sniper Rifle is a Hardmode, post-Plantera ranged weapon that fires a bullet with extremely high damage and velocity, though at a far slower rate of fire than most ranged weapons, and cannot auto-fire (except on the Mobile version). It also has a "zoom" ability. The Sniper Rifle has a 8.33*1/12 (8.33%) / 15.97*23/144 (15.97%) chance to be dropped by Skeleton Snipers, who most commonly spawn in Dungeon areas with Slab Walls during Hardmode after Plantera has been defeated.

The Sniper Rifle's "zoom" ability is functionally identical to that of the Binoculars and the Rifle Scope and its upgrades. It allows the screen to scroll temporarily in the direction of the cursor, essentially extending the viewing range in one direction.

可以通过以下方法之一来激活缩放：

Desktop version：按住右键。
Console version：按住右摇杆。
Mobile version：触击并按住。
Nintendo 3DS version: Move the C-Stick ( users only).

The Sniper Rifle has a base 29% / 19% critical strike chance, as opposed to the usual 4%. It is the only weapon lacking auto-fire on the Nintendo 3DS version.

Its best 修饰语 is 虚幻, but due to its already-high critical strike chance, the 无情 modifier may be preferred to maximize damage instead.

备注

The Rifle Scope, Sniper Scope, or 察 can stack with the Sniper Rifle's zoom ability to increase zoom, though only slightly. The exact increase depends on the player's game screen resolution. For example, at 800×600, view is increased by 3 tiles; at 1680×1050 by 7 tiles; at 1920×1080 by 15 tiles.
Musket Balls and Silver/子 fired from this weapon gain the visual effects (but not damage) of High Velocity Bullets. All other ammo types travel at normal speed, and retain their usual appearance.
Zooming will update the Minimap (the same holds true for the Rifle Scope, Sniper Scope, Recon Scope, and Binoculars).
Holding the Sniper Rifle, Binoculars, or any weapon that supports zooming when a Rifle Scope is equipped will change the range at which enemies spawn around the player.
On the Nintendo 3DS version, the scope glitches the player's sights and makes nearby entities vibrate rapidly.

小贴士

狙击步枪特别适合搭配以下子弹类型，因为它们有助于弥补其低开火速率：
- 叶绿弹，因为其自动寻的能力让命中变得容易，对于狙击步枪的低开火速率特别有用。
- 水晶子弹，因为所生成的碎片有可能会击中多个目标，而且其大大提升的基础伤害让它们能对伤害输出做出更大的贡献。
- 爆破弹，其溅射伤害会同时命中多个目标。不过，狙击步枪的高基础伤害也让爆破弹用起来危险得多；一次位置错误的射击大概能干掉玩家一半生命值。
- 夜明弹，对于一条直线上的敌怪都是毁灭性的。
- 流星弹，能穿透一次，对付群体目标时能有效地让狙击步枪的伤害翻倍。其低开火速率确保了敌怪不会受益于穿透无敌帧。
The Sniper Rifle's main strengths – damage and critical chance – are boosted even further when utilizing the stealth effect of 旋盔 or Shroomite armor, enabling most non-boss enemies to be killed in one shot.
The Sniper Rifle is useful against enemies that teleport when hit, like Diabolists, Necromancers, and 云浮, due to the high one-shot damage that would usually kill them instantly.
- Nebula Floaters usually take more shots, but they would be fought by the player in the open areas. Chlorophyte Bullets are invaluable in this case.
It is possible to achieve over 100% critical strike chance with the following setup:
- Vortex armor in stealth mode – 47%
- 虚幻修饰语和基础暴击率 – 34%
- 狙击镜 – 10%
- 毁灭者徽章 – 8%
- 天界壳 – 2%

另外，利用旗帜的伤害奖励，有可能一击中就对敌怪造成毁灭性的 2280 伤害。

It is also possible to attain more than 600 base damage and even 700 in 师模 due to the extra possible accessory slots with the following setup:
- Vortex armor with stealth mode on
- Menacing Destroyer Emblem
- Menacing Avenger Emblem
- Menacing Sniper Scope
- Menacing Ranger Emblem
- Menacing Recon Scope
- Menacing Celestial Shell
- Menacing wings
- An additional 5% damage at night (Celestial Shell)

Various buffs and debuffs that increase damage can raise this number even farther.

The Sniper Rifle has a surprisingly low sell value for its power and rarity, making potential reforge costs lower.

花絮

The Sniper Rifle has the highest base critical strike chance of any weapon in the game, beating the Obsidian Swordfish by 5%. It is also tied with the Revolver for highest ranged velocity. While it additionally has one of the highest base damages in the game, it is still beaten by the Zenith, Meowmere, Terrarian, Bunny Cannon, Dynamite, Explosives, and the 圣手榴. As a ranged weapon however, it is mostly unparalleled.
It can be considered a post-Plantera upgrade of the Dart Rifle on Desktop, Console, Mobile, Switch, and tModLoader, and a Hardmode upgrade of the Musket on Old-gen console and 3DS .
The Sniper Rifle, Uzi, and Venus Magnum all share a tooltip.
A Coin Gun using Platinum Coins has the same damage per shot, but it fires 5 times faster, making its effective DPS five times higher than that of the Sniper Rifle.
