Question, whats the most powerful sniper you've found in the game?

So far i've came across the GGN30 Rolling Sniper which does 286 damage, but only has a 0.4 fire rate.

My favorite sniper i've found is the GGN Thunder, which does 189 damage, is there an upgraded version of this gun that deals out 300+?

Elephent Gun, has something like 237 dmg and 1.0 fire rate. I'm not sure if those numbers are right.

I thought you could make your own guns in this game and there were 800 billion possible combinations? Why not just make a sniper rifle that has what you are looking for...?

So i've already came across the most powerful one in the game? I found the one that does 289 damage right after I left Freystone, the first container I looked in had that and a shotgun my friend took.

I thought you could make your own guns in this game and there were 800 billion possible combinations? Why not just make a sniper rifle that has what you are looking for...?

You can't make your own. It was actually the best choice for the game.

Yup. I love hunting for a better shotgun or pistol and then testing it out. Adds to the fun of the game.

The best one I've found is a level 21 purple S&S that does 224 damage with a 2.4 fire rate. I've found more powerful sniper rifles but I like to spam shots with this one and I like the scope. There are better orange sniper rifles though, I saw one in a vending machine but I couldn't afford it at the time. There are some sniper rifles that do 700 plus damage but they're around level 50. You could look at some of the guns that are being traded on this page:

At what point in the game do I come across this powerful of weapons? I'm a level 25 and I've never seen anything close to this. Also, where can I find a good class mod for a sniper?

Considering he said it's level 48, you probably won't see it for awhile.

Probably towards the end of the game or during your second playthrough. I'm level 32 and I find a lot of good sniper class mods at the health vending machines.

When your on your second playthrough, the elephant gun will do something like 900 dps? But, I find alot of snipers better. Weapons come crazy when your level 50.

ive found multiple liquid snipers and they are my favorite of course you keep finding better ones as you lvl up but the are always the fastest and carry a good amount of damage. They beat powerful slow sniper rifles hands down.

I'm a Level 37, and the sniper with the most damage I have come across does 32- damage, but has a lackluster fire rate of 0.4. I have snipers that are much more efficient, but I don't remember their specs.

Yeah, the elephant gun didn't have a scope and it's fire rate was pretty slow. I didn't find it very useful.

I prefer using a scoped rocket launcher. Zooms like a sniper rifle but does more damage, and you don't have to be 100% accurate.

i'm currently at lvl 35 with sniper weapon proficiency of 14 (i am currently juggling pistol and sniper rifle proficiencies, the former being at 15) and i currently have these sniper rifles: GGN C Cobalt Volcano (dark orange) level requirement: 25 damage: 272 accuracy: 98.7 fire rate: 0.8 GGN Hard Volcano (orange) level requirement: 34 damage: 321 accuracy: 96.7 fire rate: 0.9 both have x4 chance to cast fire elemental dmg. as what you can observe, the former has a higher accuracy rating of 2 points; the latter gaining an upper hand damage-wise and fire rate-wise. which do you think is much better? looking at it as a whole, as a sniper, does sacrificing 2 notches of accuracy with significant additional damage of 49 count? i currently have the focus, caliber, and deadly on 5 points, and i have a sniper mod with 90% sniper rifle critical hit dmg.

The best I've found did mid 900 damage, can't remember the exact amount but I still have it.
