Tips

 * The Snipetron is great for headshots and is very useful against the Grineer.
 * With an Armor Penetration mod on it, it will be possible to headshot Corpus box-heads too.
 * 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.
 * (Optional) Adding a level 1 Cryo Rounds mod (freeze mod/4 points) will allow the slowing of enemies in case first shot is not a killing shot, increasing the ease of headshots with your next shot.
