The sniper rifle has 56 shots, two levels of scope and fires an instantly-travelling blue beam that is usually enough to kill any enemy at full-health, with the exception of Assault Droids, shielded Droidekas and heroes. It is also great for dealing with open turrets, but does especially low damage to vehicles of any kind. After scoring six headshots with it, it will be replaced by an award Beam Rifle that does more damage and can go through several enemies, but is unable to execute headshots.
