Sakura's blossom is one of the most beautiful things on Earth. But even it can't compete with a headshot done from this gun.

—Weapon’s description in Gallery

Sakura on unsafe harbor

The Sakura is a Sniper weapon introduced in the 13.2.1 update.

Description[]

The Sakura is a powerful Sniper, with its high damage and fast fire rate. Having it in your hands gives you an advantage against everyone.

 Appearance[]

It is a bullpup sniper rifle with a pink cherry blossom flower skin on the body of the weapon, as well as having pink decals on the scope, hand guard, barrel, and compensator.

Performance[]

It fires a powerful bullet that has instant bullet travel time. Moreover, it possesses X-RayVision and 10x Scoped. It's really good in long-range and see-through walls, allowing you to predict your enemy’s next moves.

When reloading, the magazine is taken out and replaced by a spare one. It has input and output delay.

Strategy[]

Tips[]

  • Use this weapon at close range to maximize the weapon’s potential to one-shot kill enemy players with a large instant travel time projectile.
  • Take the time to aim first if locked in a sniper duel.
  • You can aim at the head to maximize Efficiency per shot.
  • Using this weapon with no-scope at medium-close range allows you to save some time.
  • Do not let your guard down, as it is easy to just camp there and aim though you are prone to get killed.
  • Try not to use this in small maps as this is a long-range weapon.
  • As the scope heavily decreases your field of view, occasionally upscope and look at your surroundings to look for any potential attackers.
  • Though it has high damage, the reload speed is slow, so seek for cover whenever you want to reload.

Counters[]

  • Strafe around the player to avoid being shot by the weapon.
  • Try using Automatic or Shotgun at close range.
  • Make sure to use a weapon with ArmorBonus, such as the Leader’s Best Friend, as a single shot from the Sakura can kill any Armor.
  • Get as close as possible to the user, as killing them as quickly as possible should be your main priority in combat.
  • Use Sakura yourself or other sniper rifles with high damage as a last ditch effort.

Recommended Maps[]

This sniper's scope, fast fire rate, and x-ray vision make it a good choice for almost any map.

Equipment Setups[]

  • Use it with a slowing weapon, such as the Laser Cycler to get an easy shot in.
  • Carry a high mobility Melee, such as the Double Cashback.
  • Have a powerful weapon Heavy weapon for close range.
  • If the opponent survive the first shot, use an Automatic weapon, such as Golden Friend.

Popularity[]

During its initial release, this rifle was not well known to players.

With the recent buff on 22.6.0 update, this weapon becomes one of the most popular weapons in the game. It is often loved and wanted by many players, but others dislike it due to its performance being overpowered, and/or the number of times being used, and/or its popularity. However, after 23.5.0 update it is no longer popular as it used to be due to a significant nerf to its damage.
