Sniper or precision rifles are the perfect type of weapon for shoot from long distancesNot only because they have a high range, but because they all have a telescopic sight equipped that is usually x4 or x8 depending on the model we get.
Sniper rifles in free fire
These rifles are easily the deadliest type of weapon in Free Fire, if we know how to use them and we have a good pulse, we can lower many points of life to our enemy, or even cause a immediate death.
Likewise, that these rifles are designed to shoot distant enemies, it does not mean that they cannot be used at close and medium distances; It is very complicated because they do not have the common point of view and that makes it difficult to hit the shots, but it is not impossible.
The ideal is to use them as a secondary weapon, having as primary a assault rifle since it is ideal for both medium and short distances. Although if you are very confident in your skills, you can carry a shotgun to quickly get out of confrontations with enemies that are very close.
You can even carry a specialized weapon in each rank. Combine, for example, a rifle like the M249 with one of the precision rifles that we will detail later, and the fabulous M1873 that can be carried in the box for pistols. You would be a player worthy of respect.
The only bad thing is that it is a bit difficult to get the sniper rifles.
General characteristics of Sniper rifles at Free Fire
The main attraction of these weapons lies in their Damage / Range / Aim ratio not only do they have an incomparable range, but they hit the target we are aiming for in the distance without the need to equip them with any accessory to improve them.
Damage of the Sniper rifles
The damage capacity these weapons have is barely exceeded by that of the shotguns, and for very few points. They are arguably two sides of the same coin, as one easily kills a nearby enemy, the other does so from a safe distance.
The only rifle of the 5 added to date that does not reach 80 points of damage is the VSS, which is arguably the worst in this category, but the little damage it causes rewards it with a higher rate of fire and recharge.
Firing Speed of Sniper rifles
We reached the weak point of these rifles, then taking two shots in a row takes a long time. It's only a couple of seconds, but in that little time, the enemy will know where we are and could kill us if we don't protect ourselves well.
Sniper rifles are incredibly powerful weapons, but they are not a piece of cake to use. You have to be very careful when shooting not to miss the shot, as it could be the end of the game for us.
The rate of fire ranges from 27 to 48 points, the lowest average of all weapons in Free Fire, even lower than weapons body to body.
Sniper Rifle Reload Speed
Here we have another point against of these lethal firearms. Its reload speed varies between 27 and 55 points, being only a little faster than shotguns, but still very slow. Another reason not to miss a shot and to secure our prey before pulling the trigger.
Accessories of the Sniper rifles
The truth is that they are already very powerful weapons by themselves and they don't need extras to be lethal; they already have a pre-installed telescopic sight and the range needed to get the shots right. However, do not miss the opportunity to equip them with a mouth, and above all, a charger.
The different accessories that can be added are the following:
- Muffler
- Gun muzzle
- Astil
- Charger
- Mira

The SVD is a very powerful weapon pre-equipped with a x4 sight. It has high precision and can be equipped with all kinds of extras, making it even better. As it is semi-automatic, it compensates for its poor rate of fire, since you don't have to look away after each shot.
