They also frequently out damage the sniper rifle, in in optimum setups, because piercing isn't as good as firing 20 bullets normally.

[@glassofwater281]

That's fair, I personally always go for the sniper in most games because I like being rewarded for high accuracy with one clean powerful shot Edit: This also applies to my ftw true melee run. Charging at the boss and landing one strong blow and backing out feels awesome. The Skeletron fight was hell but with the Volcano it looked cool

[@DJBlackNGold]

Honestly it was funny as hell to use on servers where people often turned their pvp on. With an easy to achieve 100% crit, luminite, vortex armor and not even full buffs, you could one shot any player that wasn't using full tank builds. Adding in just how far away away you could hit them from when factoring in the sniper scope accessory and the set bonus of vortex making you annoyingly tough to spot it was beyond hysterical. But that was niche and no real point. I never found much a use in it for progression unless using ichor bullets with it.

[@RedBloxStudios]

you can also just make slab walls with heavy workbench and throw it into shimmer so enemys spawn on it

[@purplehaze2358]

Ranged weapons with a low fire rate but high damage are just.. _better_ than their low damage + high fire rate contemporaries. With the exception of maybe the uzi because it benefits greatly from the bottomless musket pouch, high fire rate weapons burn through recourses way too quickly for DPS that's either the same, barely higher, or outright _lower_ than weapons which distinctly lack that problem.

[@muffins901]

the only problem is, with the easy ways of getting bullets and all of the ways to decrease the bullet consumption chance, that really isn't a problem, and as you saw with chlorophyte bullets for something like the cultist, it kept on hitting different things making the fight longer, but for fast firing options that isn't as much of a problem since it would just go for a different enemy faster since you move fast to change where the homing goes, but with a slow firing weapon it is detrimental to hit a different enemy since it wastes that precious bullet that deals high amounts of damage. and with other bullets it's not much better, as if you miss a shot with a fast firing weapon, it barely matters since it fires so fast you can just aim somewhere else, but with a slow firing weapon it's more of the same problem. you waste that precious bullet making it take a lot longer than if you would just use a faster firing weapon. and for something like the cultist which is hard to hit without chlorophyte since its small size, a faster firing weapon is just the better option

[@GraniteGolem]

[@purplehaze2358]

@@muffins901 Okay, first off, a lot of the best bullets in the game are an absolute chore to get. I cannot begin to describe how many times I've had to go back to the jungle to restock on chlorophyte bullets, repeated moon lord fights for luminite bullets, or had to go back to the underground hallow to restock on crystal bullets. Secondly, those decreases in ammo consumption apply to low fire rate weapons too. Meaning, no matter how you look at it, you're going to be wasting more ammunition, and by extension wasting more time in reacquiring it. Thirdly, chlorophyte bullets don't automatically lock on to the cultist illusions. That was _entirely_ human error - and one he likely would have made even if he used a fast-firing weapon. Furthermore, you can mitigate 'locking onto other things' by using calming potions to decrease external enemy spawns.

[@glassofwater281]

I play ranger to aim well, I love the sniper but never use chloro bullets unless it's empress

[@keeganhooker8448]

@@purplehaze2358 Except something I don’t think you realize is the ease of access when it comes to those weapons. To have a high dps with the sniper you have to hit every shot, with the higher rate of fire weapons you don’t. Also something you either didn’t notice or forgot about what the other person was talking about was the ammo consumption reduction of those types of weapons specifically, the 33%/50%/66% reductions that only apply to those weapons. Also you could just gather the materials in bulk you know, just get so many that you don’t need to go back there for the rest of the playthrough, that solves that issue.

[@d4cto]

Crystal Shards from crystal bullets each deal 50% of the base hit damage which enables Sniper Rifle to oneshot even more targets than it already did.

[@quasar5563]

One of the benefits of the Sniper rifle is that because of its insane base damage, it gets massive stat scaling from armor and accessories. I remember that at one point my sniper rifle had been buffed to the point of dealing 450 damage with a 91% crit chance.

[@sjeffy5137]

One of my favorite terraria activities is Wyvern hunting with the sniper rifle. With the right bullets, you can wait for it to directly charge you and one shot it down the throat

[@TheLittleBean1705]

I personally love the Sniper Rifle because i always use it when i am playing ranger, especially on multiplayer. I also love it because back in the xbox360 days i used it to "cosplay" as an minecraft creeper by sneaking up on players and then shooting the ground with explosive ammunition which obviously killed me and most of the time also the person i was pranking 😂 (I used no armor but max damage and crit accessories to guarantee the highest Chances of a explosive death of whoever i bombed) Ps: Ever since i got one of your videos recommended, i pretty much binge watched them all and honestly you changed the way of how i play the game since recently i played terraria with my buddies and was melee were i used the Breaker Blade and the Keybrand for the first proper time in a loadout

I done this before. I used an unreal sniper rifle, shroomite armor. I defeated enraged duke fishron expertmode while I placed a minecart track across my large world. I dont remember my accesories, but I have rolled everything to menacing and lucky for extra crits. Does the job well. I would be doing 100 damage per chrolophyte bullet while expert mode duke is enraged without buffs and armor. I would be doing 700-900 damage with all of the right ranger accesories. With chrolophyte bullets, its just clicking till the boss dies. No dodging or defense accesories. Just pure raw damage

[@selby3235]

the main reason why i've never used it is because i play console (or at least used to) and the scope option made it impossible to aim as the fast way to aim is with smart cursor on and aiming, which made the scope move around a lot and was very disorienting.

[@outspade]

Sniper Rifle is a staple of Multiplayer, indeed. The ability to wipe out an enemy’s health bar while using the scope to do so before they even know you’re there is a powerful yet volatile playstyle - you need decent tracking to hit your surprisingly mobile targets, and it’s outclassed at very short range. Much like a certain small cat person, you only have one shot before you give away your position and possibly put yourself at a disadvantage, and at risk of death. Terraria PVP is fun, by the way. I think people should cover it more.
