The Sniper Rifle is a weapon in Dead Rising and Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop. It is a powerful scoped rifle designed for long-range combat. It is particularly effective against Psychopaths, allowing the player to engage them from a safe distance. While its rounds are powerful, it is less effective against groups of Zombies due to its single-shot firing mechanic.
A headshot will instantly kill any Zombie or Survivor.
Chop Till You Drop[]
In Chop Till You Drop, it is simply known as the Rifle, and serves as a standard bolt-action sniper rifle. It is one of the first firearms available for purchase from Cletus Samson at the Huntin' Shack, along with the Silver Ghost and the Shotgun. Although reliable early in the game, it is eventually outclassed by the Semi-Auto Rifle, which has a significantly faster rate of fire.
