Laser Sniper Rifle

The Laser Sniper Rifle is a weapon in XCOM: Enemy Unknown.

In-Game DescriptionEdit

“	The Laser Sniper Rifle provides a greater chance of inflicting critical damage to enemy targets. However, due to the unwieldy nature of this rifle, our soldiers will suffer a penalty when attempting to strike targets at close range.	”
– Engineering description, XCOM: Enemy Unknown

The Laser Sniper Rifle becomes available for production in Engineering after completing Precision Lasers research.

Production Cost:

Base Damage	Crit Damage	Crit Chance	Range
5 - 7	9 - 11	30%	Long

“	▪ An improvement on the sniper rifle ▪ Unlike other weapons, Sniper Rifles are less accurate as the shooter's range to target decreases ▪ Snipers cannot move and fire in the same turn, unless trained appropriately ▪ Consider equipping Snipers with the best pistols in XCOM's arsenal	”
