How are the sniper rifles in this game?

How are they? Stronger? Weaker? More zoom? Please tell me and post some screenshots if you can. I can't play POE2 until next week, so I would like to know! Thanks!

They're the svd and one that reminds me of the PLA sniper rifle...2 body shots and they're down, 1 head shot and they're down, both semi-auto but larger magazines and double zoom :D .

They are not as powerful as I was used to, just like an SVD and PLA weapon, needs 2-4 shots repeatly to kill a guy. Best sniper rifile is a barrett found on the ground somewhere.

Any 1-shot kills rifles in this game?

The anti-material pickup is 1 shot kill. The others are 1 shot to the head as well.

The zoom is also a little different then vanilla. First click zooms you in half way, second click is full zoom, and third click is back to unzoomed. Taking me a while to get used to. You also have less ammo then you're used to.

Yea. The sniper rifles have 2 zoom modes, and feel more powerful. I was playing in one of the maps and there were enemy snipers scattered all over the place. You couldn't walk ten feet without getting shot.
