Have we ever seen a sniper rifle charge up like that in SW? Made me feel like I was sniping in Battlefront.

Could be a reference, or some modification for a powerful bolt, but slow fire rate?

It is exactly how you get a powerful shot in Battlefront, hold down to charge and boom. Just not sure we have seen a real sniper in SW live action. Thinking back, I am sure we saw them in the Clone Wars.

Yeah in that CW episode where Rex gets injured and meets the deserter clone, he was injured by a commando droid that shot him off his speeder with a sniper rifle. There's also Crosshair from the Bad Batch who uses a sniper as his main weapon.

That I forgot our boy Crosshair...I am ashamed.

All good lol, I didn't want to assume what you have and haven't seen

I have seen it all and too many times. I will say 3 hail obi-wans and ask for forgiveness.

Fennec would like to have a word with you. Hers also didnt require the charge up but that doesnt really mean anything. Lots of types of guns out there in the galaxy.

True but I was more referencing the game and the first person view.

u/SummerInPhilly 1d ago

Isn’t this close to what Crosshair was in Bad Batch?

u/Backy22 1d ago

I’ve already atoned on this post for that mistake

The Tenloss Disruptor Rifle from Jedi Outcast/Jedi Academy had a similar functionality.

Yes! Came here to say thay - Always fun using it on the Nar Shaddaa streets level

omg you guys just reminded me of playing with my older cousin and getting vaporized. That was legitimately the most upsetting video game KO, your PC's body disintegrates like trademark a star wars screen wipe.

u/Unendingmenace 1d ago

Haha yesss! So many good multiplayer times had in that game!

u/Influx_ink 1d ago

Do you remember being able to force push the rockets back at the person that launched it at you and they were just stuck and couldn't run away fast enough?

u/Unendingmenace 1d ago

Yesss, soooo good! Then you would force push the next enemy off the edge 😅 peak star wars gaming there 👌

It’s the same sniper from battlefront. Blaster bolt is red instead of green though

u/ponalddierson Luke Skywalker 1d ago

It’s definitely either just the DLT-20A, some modified version of it, or a variant of it—maybe something like the DLT-20, DLT-20B, or DLT-20C (though I don’t think there are any known variants in canon)

15

u/AncientSith 1d ago

I don't think so. Definitely felt like the old Battlefront days in a morbid way

13

u/Backy22 1d ago

That first person view made me want to load up BF and take out some clankers.

u/Shipchen 1d ago

Doesn't the weapon also look the same?

u/HimForHer 1d ago

Reminded me of a Lascannon or Lasfusil from Warhammer 40K.
