Marksman Rifle

The Marksman rifle is a post-Plantera weapon rarely dropped by Sniper Skeletons (3.33% drop rate) in the dungeon. The Marksman rifle has slightly less damage than the standard sniper rifle, but makes up for this with a faster fire rate. The Marksman rifle is semi-automatic and is best used at far range. It can be a potent medium/close quarters weapon because of the slightly faster fire rate, but this is highly unrecommended, due to the high chance of being outgunned by automatic firearms. The Marksman rifle is best used to take down small groups of enemies, and can be paired with explosive ammunition to rain heavy fire onto enemies.
