Overview[ | ]

The Sniper Rifle is a ranged weapon in 7 Days to Die. It can be looted from Supply Crates, Shotgun Messiah Crates and Munitions Boxes or it can also be crafted. The Sniper Rifle uses 7.62mm Bullets as Ammunition and can hold ~12 rounds. A Sniper Rifle will reload automatically or it can be done manually by pressing the reload key (default key 'R').

Headshotting adds 200 extra damage in A21.

Combat[ | ]

The Sniper Rifle is an extremely powerful long range Weapon that will kill almost all Zombies with a single shot to the head. It is also powerful at close range, containing thirteen cartridges, meaning it will require less frequent reloading compared to the Lever Action Rifle. It is a viable option for long range engagements with enemies, especially in more populated areas.

Notes[ | ]

  • A Sniper Rifle, like all weapons, can destroy blocks and structures, and is most effective from a distance where enemies won't be easily attracted.
  • The Sniper Rifle used to look like that of the Marksman Rifle along with having a scope built-in, but with recent updates, as well as the mod system for weapons, they have been turned into two different weapons.
  • The sniper rifle bears a certain resemblance to the Soviet SVDM Dragunov rifle.
