The raw damage that this rifle can cause can squash even the scariest enemies. Even though it has excellent stats, it is highly underrated by many players because of its lack of a Silencer a major drawback. Sentinel Plasmacaster has the best sniper effect in the entire Fallout 4 game, this effect called the Instigating effect, gives the weapon an ability to cause double damage to the target, even if the target is in full health making this rifle one of the best Fallout 4 sniper rifle. However, as you advance to later stages of the game, you must acquire better rifles for continual survival in the game. It also has an instigating effect, so you never get to worry about your target coming back to haunt you. It has the same drawback as the Sentinel Plasmacaster because it has no silence, but I consider it the best option for non-stealthy players because it is economical and can be acquired at the early game stages in just level 3 or level 4. I consider it as the best mid-game rifle amongst other rifles in their category because of its unparalleled force when it’s upgraded. The sheer power of this weapon comes from in its ability to cause 300 damage just for a single shot. The only downsides to this gun are that it has a lesser damage per shot hence, you’ll need to fire multiple shots before your enemy eventually goes down. Stealth snipers will enjoy using this gun because during combat it has a silencer ability. Its best features include having the fastest ever reload speed as a semi-automatic weapon you don’t need to worry about reload time if you choose this rifle. I believe its range is unmatched hence the best long range gun a player can wish for in Fallout 4. This is the best weapon to use as an emergency sidearm rifle. It has a long range of about 227 and Fires at a rate of 66. You can only acquire this rifle by stealing it from Virgil or by making him commit suicide. It comes equipped with its unique Mods such as Gamma wave emitter and medium night vision. This is an energy-based rifle which comes with a legendary sniper effect, the Mutant Slayer effect which causes more than 30% damage inflicted to super mutants. Our main focus is going to be on the best Fallout 4 Sniper rifles currently in the game. Fallout 4 has a unique style of combat it comes with over 50 base weapons which can be crafted and modified as you wish.
