History
Introduced Patch 1.6
Vaulted Patch 10.00

Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle is a Sniper Rifle in Battle Royale. It is available in Uncommon and Rare variants and has a head shot multiplier of 2.5x. It uses Heavy Bullets. The Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle was Vaulted in Patch 6.21, then was removed from the vault on Patch 9.10 but was Re-vaulted on Patch 10.00. It was vaulted because of the addition of the Storm Scout Sniper Rifle.

The Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle used to be available in Epic and Legendary variants, but the rarities were decreased to Uncommon and Rare variants following Patch 5.40.

Availability

  • Patch 1.6 - Released
  • Patch 6.21 - Vaulted
  • Patch 7.10 - Rereleased (for One Shot LTM)
  • Patch 9.10 - Unvaulted
  • Patch 10.00 - Vaulted

Strategy

  • Although the Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle is not as powerful as the Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle or the Hunting Rifle, its greater magazine capacity of 10 rounds makes it an excellent weapon to suppress the enemy at long distances, and you have a chance to hit them again after missing a shot, but the enemy would have most likely detected you and started defending themselves.
  • Headshots provide great damage, but still lacked power against targets with full health and shields.

Trivia

  • Ironically, Battle Royale's Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle uses the same model as Save the World's Automatic Sniper Rifle.
  • The Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle is most likely based off of the Galil Sniper Rifle with a few features of a Ruger Mini-14.
  • Before Patch 5.40, the Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle was available in Epic and Legendary variants, although it was less powerful than a Rare Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle and the Epic and Legendary Heavy Sniper Rifle. After Patch 5.40, the Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle now comes in Uncommon and Rare rarity's to match the damages.
  • This is the only "OG" sniper rifle that is currently Vaulted, The other OG sniper that is currently not in the Vault is the Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle.
  • The Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle deals the same damage as the Hand Cannon and the Uncommon and Rare variants of the Tactical Shotgun. It also deals half the damage of the Heavy Sniper Rifle.
  • The Storm Scout Sniper Rifle has already been tested via glitching in Creative, and judging by the fact that it deals slightly more damage for a smaller magazine and slower fire rate, it could be the replacement for the Semi-Auto.
  • This is the eighth item to be unvaulted, following the Grenade.
  • This weapon is one of the six items to be introduced, then vaulted, then unvaulted, and then re-vaulted. The other five are Guided Missile, Clinger, Suppressed Submachine Gun (Since unvaulted on 9.30 Content Update), Dual Pistols, and Impulse Grenade.
  • When it got unvaulted,it did shoot automatic
    • This was only because you could hold down the trigger and was not recommended
      • Despite this it was commonly used

Changes

Patch 10.00 (August 1, 2019)

Weapons + Items

  • Vaulted
    • Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle
    • Over time, we have added many mobility options, both itemized and map-based. We feel that Season X is better experienced with a reduction in mobility. As with all changes, we’ll keep a close eye on how this affects the player experience.

Weapons + Items
  • Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle now has reduced zoom while scoped.

Weapons + Items
  • Unvaulted Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle
    • Available in Vending Machines, Chests, and Floor Loot
    • Available in Uncommon and Rare variants
      • Since the Thermal Rifle and Scoped Revolver have both recently been vaulted, this week we wanted to bring back an oldie but goodie to round out the medium/long-range item line-up.
