The railgun. The sniper’s sniper. It is easily the main sniping weapon, and the only exclusive sniper offering. There may be other guns that offer similar qualities, but none quite to this caliber. With only half-charge, this weapon is capable of single-shotting even the hardiest of players. I personally suggest this gun in only a few scenarios, and very rarely in a Death Match. Locations of best sniping include: Tunnel, Station 2, OldSchool, Neden 2. You can apply this weapon anywhere, but the above mentioned provide great sniping vantage points, and plenty of places to hide.

Body Shots: Easy shots to muster, but fairly weak. Particularly when uncharged. This is a good shot to take when a TouchDown striker is nearing your goal. Rather than risk missing, or getting killed, simply knock them down with a quick body shot. Uncharged damage ranges from 32-34 damage. Fully charged body shots deal exactly 120 damage. If you have a fully charged shot, knowing which have +30 hp is very useful. If a striker is dashing your way, the fully charged shot should be more than enough to take them out.

Head Shots:  It’s a sniping weapon, of course you’re going to get the most mileage out of a headshot! In this case, it is the only weapon that can one-hit absolutely, regardless of what your opponent tries. A completely uncharged headshot deals from 78 to 82 damage, and can be used to finish off an injured player. If the railgun is charged for any longer than a single second, then it will 1 hit players with +30 hp. The numbers change slightly with special clothing, so charging it longer than 1.5 seconds is recommended. An interesting number to note: If the railgun is charged for exactly one second (exactly), then it deals exactly 129 damage towards a non-defended player. We found it somewhat frustrating in tests, but it was funny anyways! 

Target leading: The railgun has around 0.75 – 1 second of delay between trigger release and firing. It’s crucial to account for this while aiming, and not aim where your target is now, but instead where you consider it’ll be a second from now.
