Notes

Zooming with the Sniper Scope using regular gun and Sniper Rifle.

Tips

  • The Sniper Scope actually has a higher ranged critical hit bonus than the Destroyer Emblem. However, this benefit should be weighed against the limited nature of its damage buff: Even a ranged-specialized character could get more benefit from the base Destroyer Emblem, because the extra damage also applies to minions.
  • The zoom function works well with a Spelunker or Hunter Potion, as it allows to cover a greater area more quickly when searching for ore or bound NPCs.

Trivia

  • If zoomed in on a biome with different music than the one the player is in, the music will change upon zooming. For instance, if the player is standing in a Forest biome and zooms in on a Glowing Mushroom biome, then the music will change to the Glowing Mushroom biome music.
  • Having a Sniper Scope equipped, even if not being zoomed out, drastically increases the enemy spawning rectangle. This can effectively break player-made farms that rely on knowledge of the normal spawning rectangle. For the exact size of the area, see NPC spawning § Spawn locations.
