So, how do you get a sniper rifle in Star Citizen (aside from paying real-world money)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the past you could occasionally loot some from crates at some mining &amp; misc outposts, but sniper rifles have been removed as loot from most &#8211; if not all &#8211; of those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, you\u2019ll need to hit bunkers.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class='code-block code-block-1' style='margin: 8px 0; clear: both;'>\n<div id=\"gg_ads_midLeaderboard1\" class=\"gg_ads__adSpot gg_ads__adSpot--midLeaderboard\">\n<script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8114869302769879\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8114869302769879\" data-ad-slot=\"7913841931\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hitting bunkers for sniper rifles (and other loot) in SC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can just accept bounty missions that direct you to specific bunker locations (the ?RT ones will either be a cave or a bunker &#8211; check the description); Typically bunkers start with (or have)&nbsp; a 4 letter acronym for (in) a name, so you\u2019ll know if the mission is sending you to a bunker or not. If you\u2019ve never done a bunker mission, note that these are fairly simple as long as you are cautious, and the server FPS isn\u2019t too high. \ud83d\ude42&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I recommend doing bounty missions because this will ensure that the location won\u2019t suddenly end up being a location for someone elses\u2019 bounty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few things you\u2019ll need: Heavy armor, a large backpack, medpens, and a gun with plenty of ammo (I typically recommend the Gallant rifle). Once you\u2019re kitted up, it\u2019s time to hit that bunker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a powerful ship, I suggest you approach bunkers biasing your shields forward and take out the turrets so you can park closer (reducing travel time and allowing you to load up your ship with loot faster). Otherwise, you\u2019ll need to make sure you park behind some cover or are around 1.5km away from the turrets so they don\u2019t take you out (you can take a ground vehicle to get to the bunker for now, but note that it won\u2019t always be a safe option).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019re in the bunker, take the elevator down. Once you\u2019re down, clear out the bunker first, doing a double pass through to make sure you didn\u2019t miss any stragglers if you don\u2019t have an enemy counter from the bunker mission (or if it\u2019s bugged and some enemies aren\u2019t accessible). Once you\u2019ve done that, there are 2 ways for grabbing sniper rifles: Checking the ground for them (less likely), and looting the black &amp; red crates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The black &amp; red crates will contain armor and weapons, and I almost always find at least one sniper rifle on a bunker trip. You\u2019ll want to watch for some other weapons as well, such as grenade launchers and the Scourge railgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to make the trip extra worthwhile, make sure to bring a multitool with a tractor beam attachment so you can grab the bodies of the baddies and haul them up to your ship to loot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re looking to live out your dreams of being a space sniper, you\u2019ll need a sniper rifle to do it.
