Description
It is a futuristic/portal themed sniper rifle that shoots a purple beam. It deals high damage, a slow fire rate, a small capacity, and slow mobility.
Appearance
It has a grey skeletal stock with a black buttstock and a grey buffer tube connected to the main body of the gun.
The body is mainly dark red, with a dark red pistol grip, a yellow trigger, and a yellow scope with a light blue lens mounted on top. It also features a green energy cell as an ammo source.
The barrel of the weapon consists of a large shard of a Portalium Crystal.
Performance
When fired, it fires a blue beam that has two rounds of energy which follows the purple beam. This weapon has a wall break attribute, so the beam can go through walls and pierce through players. Moreover, this weapon possesses a 4x zoom optic sight, allowing it to fight in a longer range.
When reloading, the player takes out the clip and replaces it with another one.
It does not receive delays from any weapons that are associated with Three Category Spam like the Thunderer and the Reflector.
Strategy
Tips
- Strafe around when using this weapon if you are in a head-to-head fight. However, you should stay in one place if no one knows where you are.
- Use the scope for medium or long-range fights. In fact, medium and long-range is the best range for this weapon as it is a sniper.
- If you get a shot in, finish them using a fast firing Primary weapon.
- Aim at the head for maximum Efficiency per shot.
- Like all wall-break weapons, its Efficiency is reduced when penetrating through walls. It should be only utilized if the enemy hiding behind cover is low on health.
- This weapon is very useful in Escort, as it can eliminate players who crowd around the ram, and can also shoot through the ram.
- Equip the full set effect as it will remove the wall-break nerf on the sniper, by saying you will be able to one shot enemies behind walls.
Counters
- Area damage weapons easily pick off its users.
- Flank around the user then use a close range/melee weapon to deal quick damage and then pull back.
- When caught in a sniper duel, take time to aim while strafing to avoid getting hit.
- Avoid being out in the open when there is a sniper present.
- Jump around while strafing to minimize the chances of getting hit. Keep your movements radical to keep them confused.
- Use a one-shot sniper yourself, such as the Anti-Champion Rifle or One Shot.
- Stay close to the user since this is a sniper rifle.

Trivia
- It uses the same crystal as a barrel as seen with the Prototype and the Prototype S even though it does not look similar to each other.
- When firing this weapon, it sounds like the player is firing in two bursts even though it consumes only one ammo per fire.
- When in the armory, after a few seconds of holding the gun, the player would fold the stock of the gun and then pull the crystal barrel off making the gun a pistol version.
