The NOOB Rifle is a Sniper added in the 21.1.0 update.

Description

It deals high damage, an average fire rate, a low capacity, and a low mobility.

Appearance

It is a sniper rifle with a mix of various attachments.

It features a black barrel, a green body, a green scope, a gray stock with a knife attached, another scope on the side colored in gray with a red lens, and a gray pistol under the gun with a brown handgrip acting like a trigger and magazine for the gun.

Performance

When the fire button is pressed, the player will fire a yellow hit scan bullet. The bullet will inflict Bleeding.png and also features CriticalDamage.png.

When reloading, the player takes the pistol out and flips it once, then puts it back.

Strategy

Tips

  • Use this in long ranges as it does not have travel time.
  • Aim for the head to maximize damage.
  • Use the scope at long ranges. Its high magnification makes it useful for precise aiming at these distances.
  • Try strafing while aiming to prevent enemies from hitting you when engaged in a firefight.
  • The Bleeding.png attribute is useful for dealing additional damage to enemies over time.
  • Though it has decent mobility, it is recommended to equip a Melee weapon when travelling around the map.
  • Due to its low mobility, carry a high mobility melee like Double Cashback or Ban Hammer when moving around the map.

Counters

  • If engaged in a sniper duel, take time to aim.
  • Area damage weapons and shotguns can quickly finish users off.
  • Strafe around the user while firing to avoid getting hit.
  • Try to wait until the user is out of ammo, then attack while they are vulnerable.
  • Flank around the user with a shotgun or melee weapon and attack them from behind.
  • Avoid being caught in the open when there is a sniper, stick to cover and locate the sniper then attempt to counter snipe them with your own.
  • Flamethrowers and shotguns can be useful for quickly killing users at close range.

Etymology

The word "noob" refers to a person who is inexperienced in a particular sphere or activity, primarily in video games.

Equipment Setups

Use it with a powerful shotgun, such as Viking, to finish off opponents, as the base damage of this weapon is relatively low.

Changelog

21.1.0

  • Initial release.

Trivia

  • The combination of both the weapon itself and the various attachments such as a bayonet and a laser sight could be a reference to 'tacticool' weapons; weapons with a noticeable amount of attachments and accessories that serve no tactical purpose.
  • It has a hidden AreaDamage.png attribute, albeit very small.
