Whats the best sniper rifle in game?

[Euruzilys]

My sniper has 10AP, currently he is using SVD (5AP per shot), I just got .50 Anti Material Rifle (7AP per shot). Im wondering if its worth it to use the .50 or SVD? With SVD I can shoot twice per turn if I dont move. Also less overkill dmg wasted. Also what about the Dragoon? (which I dont own yet)

AMR is best to be used with 1 headshot per turn, or 9AP. It will deal around 280 damage, which isn't too bad (when AR headshot burst does 420+ with similar range...O_o)

Dragoon is pretty much the same as AMR, without the minimum damage and 1 round clip (expanded mag!).

SVD just lacks damage, even if you fired it twice.

Yeah the .50 cal will do you the most damage using headshot for 9AP.

Thanks! Actually I do use 3AR, since I see its pretty much same range with sniper... you arent going to stand 40m away...

There's a sniper rifle called, "The Dragoon", I believe. It's 1 round capacity, base damage 140, also 7AP (I think). I modded it with the High Capacity Mag instead of the Quick Mag. I liked using that one a lot.

Yup. Guaranteed 140 (or 280 on crit or HS), so higher average damage. It's slightly slower to fire (+1 AP cost basically, IIRC) and has an even longer range. Can't get it until rather late, though.

Agreed. Just better off taking an AMR / Dragoon headshot.

1 question. Where can I find .50 ammo easily?

Rambeaux in Hollywood, and then the vendor in Los Feliz as well, IIRC.

Or you could use halfgeekstudios' wonderfull Weapon rebalance mod:

This would make 2 shots at 5 AP from PSG1 more competetive. Less range, less average damage, but higer potential critical damage and less overkill.
