Sniper Rifles

Sniper Rifles are rifles with extremely high damage and range, high accuracy, but very low rate of fire. In surviv.io, the Mosin-Nagant and M39 EMR are both sniper rifles. However, the MK12 SPR could also be considered a sniper rifle, because of its high accuracy and range, but it does have a significantly higher fire rate than the traditional sniper rifle.

Mosin-Nagant
The Mosin-Nagant is a bolt-action sniper rifle that deals very high damage per shot, but has a very slow rate of fire. It is useful combined with an 8x or 15x zoom for picking off distant targets. The Mosin-Nagant can be used to either cripple full-health armored targets, or to finish off injured enemies. When standing still, it has a spread of only 1 degree.

M39 EMR
The M39 EMR is actually a Marksman rifle and has a much higher rate of fire than the Mosin Nagant, with less damage. It does not slow the user like the Nagant, and this is one of the pros of choosing the EMR over the Nagant. Much like the Mosin, when standing still, it has a spread of only one degree. However, while moving, this gun has a spread of 5.25 degrees, making the M39 EMR the least accurate sniper rifle.

MK 12 SPR
The Mk 12 SPR is a semi-automatic sniper rifle. The Mk 12 SPR sports a lower damage per shot than the M39 EMR though that is made up for by the faster fire rate. The Mk 12 SPR has the same accuracy as the Mosin-Nagant.

SV-98

 * The SV-98 is a bolt action rifle added in the Log and Load update on June 2, 2018. It is described a  Mosin 2.0, being more powerful, faster and holds more ammunition.Like the Mosin Nagant it slows you down when you fire it could be avoided by doing the no slow trick.

Tips

 * Try using an 8x or 15x scope for long ranged attacks. It is best not to come up in a close ranged fight for it will be out-gunned by most weapons, even fists.
