Sniper Rifles are highly accurate, often scoped rifles. They tend to have high accuracy, high critical damage, low fire rate, low magazine size, and long reload times, but make up for this by having extreme damage. Sniper rifles are made by Atlas, Jakobs, Maliwan and Vladof. They may also be semi-automatic with a faster reload time but lower damage and usually chews through ammo. These are from Dahl, Hyperion, S&S Munitions and Torgue. When a sniper rifle has an elemental effect waiting longer between shots increases the chance that the effect will occur.
