Tips

 * The Snipetron is great for headshots and is very useful against the Grineer.
 * Always ensure that Snipetron is fully loaded before heading on to further combat.
 * Use melee or sidearm against close foes instead of using Snipetron.
 * If you use Magazine Warp, upgrade it only to 15%, because the rest is wasted. (it will only carry a maximum of 5 rounds, which is +15% rounded)
 * Adding a level 0 Cryo Rounds mod will allow the slowing of enemies in case first shot is not a killing shot, increasing the ease of headshots with your next shot. (If you don't have Cryo Rounds, Stormbringer can let you to stun Sgt. Nef Anyo)
 * As a general note, ammo consumption should not be too big of an issue as long as players make full use of their abilities and melee weapons in conjunction with Snipetron.
 * The Bronco makes for an excellent compliment to the Snipetron, covering close range battles where the Snipetron suffers.
