The human sniper rifle is changed slightly from the first game. It now has recoil, requiring the user to aim again between shots. When holding the weapon and not using the zoom scope, a "live" image is displayed on the scope.

The sniper rifle cannot be dual-wielded.

The scope provides 5x and 10x zoom. The rifle magazine holds 4 14.5mm armor-piercing, fin-stabilized, discarding-sabot rounds. It is generally only useful at medium or long range due to low capacity and long reload time.
