Magsniper
The Magsniper is a high-caliber 6.5mm MI ballistic sniper with the highest single-shot damage in the game (~223), and it can charge for bonus damage on top. It scales extremely well with Sniper Certification, Ballistics, Sharpshooting and stealth multipliers, making it the endgame ceiling for one-shot stealth builds against bosses and high-level Terran Armada enemies. Exputer and Hack the Minotaur both rank it at or near the top.
Role
Highest single-shot damage — stealth one-shot ceiling.

Bolt/charge 6.5mm MI sniper; charge for bonus damage, then delete.
Recommended Builds
Stealth one-shot infiltrator
Full guide →Concealment + Sharpshooting + Ballistics for enormous sneak-attack single shots; Long Barrel and Penetrator Rounds mods.
Boss / long-range delete
Full guide →Charge each shot on exposed boss weak points; an Exceptional X-Tech roll stays unmatched at range in 2026 guides.
Best Attachments
- Long Barrel — Adds range and projectile velocity for reliable long-distance hits (per Hack the Minotaur).
- Penetrator Rounds — Punches through armour/cover so the huge single shot still lands full damage.
- Reckless / Kismet (Tier 4 X-Tech) — Pushes the one-shot ceiling even higher for boss and Terran Armada targets.
Strengths
- +Highest single-shot damage in the game (~223), amplified by charging.
- +Scales explosively with stealth, Concealment and Sharpshooting.
- +The endgame pick for one-shot boss and high-level enemy deletion.
Weaknesses
- −Slow bolt/charge cadence — a specialist, not an all-rounder.
- −Poor without the supporting stealth/sniper skill investment.
- −Low mag and reload leave you exposed in close, mobile fights.
Why This Tier
S on the Overall axis — the raw single-shot ceiling of the 2026 meta, still unmatched for stealth/boss deletion when rolled Exceptional.
