Hello and welcome back.
As always, my name is Leyzar and today we're gonna be talking about a legend of the past.
This is the Snipetron Vandal . This is one ideal starter sniper rifle, at least from my point of view. You can farm it from invasions, or if you want to spare yourself the hassle, you can simply pay up to a maximum of 50 plat (I recommend 40) from the trade chat and get a full set.
That being said, please keep in mind that my builds and my guides usually take a more ... New player friendly approach, simply because there's a lot of information here that normally doesn't get covered, and I really feel like I should. So veterans of the game please, bear with me.
And with that out of the way, let's jump into the Snipetron Vandal. Firstly let's check out how the weapon handles without any mods equipped. One very important aspect to any sniper is the Scope and the ... well graphics on the scope. You will see that the Snipetron Vandal has two levels of zoom: you can zoom in by pressing your middle mouse button, that's your alternative fire. Again these are the default settings.
It has the first level of zoom which is 2.5 X, and you'll see you'll get plus 30% headshot damage, and you have 6.0 X which will give you 50% headshot. damage. Now all sniper rifles have a combo systems, somewhat similar to the melee combo system... to make it perfectly simple: you want to keep it up and as high as you can, to get more damage.
Talking about the fire rate and the recoil: the fire rate doesn't perfectly line up to the recoil ... you can't make full use of this weapons fire right, you gotta wait a little for the recoil... kind of ... to set a little bit so, you got to keep this one in mind when taking into account fire rate mods and of course recoil as well.
Let's talk about mods: the first thing we always do with any weapon is that flat damage. What do we got for damage and rifles? Well Serration! Serration fully maxed out will add one hundred and sixty-five damage. Now when it comes to damage mods you might come across this one: Heavy Caliber ... NO. Not on sniper rifles ... this one works well on some ... assault rifles. What I really want to do what it is basically do headshot damage, so we're gonna stay clear of Heavy Caliber. Give it a shot if you want to ... but I honestly do not recommend it.
Second on the list: Multi Shot. Multi shot mode for rifles is Split Chamber keep in mind that rifle and sniper rifle mods kind of like mix ... so this is a sniper rifle, but you can put rifle mods on.
This is just a part of the subjects covered. More info on how to keep your combo up, do more damage, fire rate mods, recoil, appropriate damage mods and so on, you can find in this video guide
