CODEX

Manufactured by the Corpus, the Snipetron is a powerful and accurate rifle that sports optical zoom capabilities. Perfect for long range engagements.

The Snipetron is a Corpus built sniper rifle. Its high focus on damage makes it an ideal weapon for bringing down heavily armored targets.

It was retired from the market due to lore issues where Corpus do not utilize weapons that fire bullets, but rely on energy weapons or railgun technology. Its blueprint would later be reintroduced as an event reward for completing certain events, most recently Operation: Plague Star.

Tips

• Always ensure that Snipetron is fully loaded before heading on to further combat.

Trivia

• The Snipetron was suddenly removed from the game's Market in Update 8 and was no longer obtainable. According to the developers, the Snipetron's use of standard bullets instead of energy projectiles did not fit the lore of the Corpus, and it was removed as a result.
  • Players were able to obtain a  Snipetron Vandal and a Blueprint for the normal Snipetron through the Informant Event after killing 20 Informers. The developers admitted that this was an apology for the Snipetron's sudden removal. Following the event, any piece of content to be removed from the market is now given a week's advance notice.
  • The Snipetron blueprint was added as a reward for the Project Undermine Tactical Alert from the 2nd of October 2015 to the 5th of October 2015.
  • The blueprint occasionally returns as an offering sold by Nakak (as Operational Supply) in Cetus during the Operation: Plague Star event for 3,000 Standing 3,000 and 5,000 Credits 5,000, making it the only way to acquire this weapon in the game.
• As this was the first true sniper rifle in the game, Grineer Ballista were equipped with this weapon before the  Vulkar was introduced.
• The Snipetron shares an identical appearance with the  Lanka, which effectively replaced it as the Corpus sniper rifle.
