Dead Rising | Dead Rising 2 |
The sniper rifle is a weapon in Dead Rising 2, Dead Rising 2: Case Zero, and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record.
A sniper rifle is a precision-rifle used to ensure more accurate placement of bullets at longer ranges than other small arms. A typical sniper rifle is built for optimal levels of accuracy, fitted with a telescopic sight and chambered for a military centerfire cartridge.
It is the second most powerful gun in Off the Record per shot, with the Super B.F.G. being the most powerful.[1]
Unlike the sniper rifle in Dead Rising, which appears to be a civilian hunting rifle, this rifle is a large-caliber military weapon. However, like the original, the sniper rifle comes with a telescopic sight, magnifying the player's vision while lining up a shot. The sniper rifle will kill a zombie outright, regardless of where they are shot; furthermore, a single bullet can travel through four or even five zombies.
The sniper rifle is great for psychopath battles. It is recommended that players keep one with them at all times after they have reached level 30.
The sniper rifle can be found on the upper floor of the Palisades Mall in High-Noon Shooting Range or by killing the psychopaths from the mission Militia Men.
