Summary
The PC version ofPixel Gun 3Dwas not released until April 2024, even though the original mobile game was launched 11 years earlier, in 2013. Relying on simple 8-bit style graphics and incredibly funbattle royale gameplay,Pixel Gun 3Dshows that how a game looks doesn’t actually matter too much as long as it is fun to play.
Just because this is a game that requires very little in the way of hardware to run at a good frame rate, doesn’t mean it isn’t fully featured. Themultiplayer FPSmaps are well-designed, and there are dozens of different weapons available for players to try out.
Don’t Miss With This Sniper Rifle
Stats:
The Charge Rifle is somewhat unique in the sniper rifle weapons lineup forPixel Gun 3D. Instead of firing bullets, this rifle charges a laser bolt. The longer the player charges a shot for, the higher the damage it will do.
The charging mechanic makes this a very slow sniper rifle to fire, but it does have a whopping 100 ammo capacity, the highest of all long-range weapons in the game. It can take some practice to master this unique weapon, and it is only really suitable for players who have the skill to place every shot.
A Burst Fire Sniper Rifle
The developers ofPixel Gun 3Dseem to have a knack for designing weapons that come with a twist.Sniper rifles in other mobile FPS gamesare high damage single shot weapons. But the Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle in this game turns this ethos on its head.
Firing short bursts of bullets, this sniper rifle only does a small amount of damage per bullet and relies on the player managing to land the burst grouping on target to do full damage. This sounds easier than it is to do, meaning plenty of practice is needed to learn how to use this weapon effectively.
Oddly Named But Very Effective
The model for the Inventor’s Rifle seems to have its basis in the steampunk style. However, this doesn’t explain its odd name. Luckily, the name is the only odd thing about this excellent sniper rifle. Well, apart from the abysmal ammo capacity of just 7 shots.
With its excellent mobility, snipers who chose the Inventor’s Rifle will find it much easier to dominate the map, as they can reposition quickly to cover different lanes of fire. Damage is quite low, and it is unlikely a single-shot kill is possible with this rifle on anything other than the lightest armored enemy players.
High Damage Long-Range Weapon
With its poor 4x zoom scope, the Railgun is more like mobile artillery than a sniper rifle. This weapon does the highest damage of all long-range weapons that fire standard ammo inPixel Gun 3D. And with decent mobility, this terrifying weapon can be moved to cover different attack lanes quickly.
Most targets can be dropped by a single shot from the Railgun. However, with a terrible refire rate, players don’t want to miss their initial shot, as they will likely only get one chance to score a kill before the enemy player is out of scope.
Very Long-Range Weapon With 8x Scope
Last Hope is everything a good sniper rifle needs to be. High damage, with a great scope and a decent refire rate. But of course, this performance comes at a price, and it is the low ammo count that is the Achilles heel of Last Hope.
This weapon shares the same color scheme as the Future Police Rifle, which is an excellentassault rifle similar to those found in other mobile games. If it wasn’t for the 6 shot magazine, this sniper rifle would have been featured a little higher up this list.
Whacky Looking But Still Great
MostPixel Gun 3Dplayers who choose the Adamant Sniper Rifles will be fighting from a concealed position simply because nobody wants to be seen running around with a weapon that looks like it was designed by a color-blind painter on drugs.
Looks aside, the Adamant Sniper Rifle features a very high rate of fire for a long-range weapon. This makes getting two or even three shots on an enemy player before they move out of scope a potential reality. Although it will take some practice to be able to wield this weapon at the level of skill required to get multiple shots on target.
A Perfect Trinity
Combining a great 10x scope, high damage, and a good refire rate, Sunrise deserves to be positioned toward the top of the pile in this list. Modeled on the classic Winchester rifles that are still sold today, this weapon has style as well as impact in thisFPS mobile game.
With a 12 ammo capacity, Sunrise has a fast enough refire rate to get two shots on a target in quite quick succession, with some ammo to spare to make up for missed shots. However, it must be said that learning to use the 10x scope can be tricky, as this is a lot of zoom on what are generally very smallFPS maps.
A Unique Sniper Rifle
The Supercharged Rifle doesn’t fire normal bullets; it fires a laser beam. The beam does not do direct target damage; instead, it does area damage. Players of otherFPS multiplayergames might recognize this as being very much like a plasma rifle.
This is anotherPixel Gun 3Dsniper rifle with a 10x scope, and as already mentioned, such a large magnification factor can be difficult to get to grips with in this game. But overall, the Supercharged Rifle takes the top spot on this list, simply because landing a shot close to an enemy is enough to hurt them, and possibly kill them depending on the armor they are wearing.
