Find Lucky Bait Casino Island

The Sniper Rifle is sold only on the fourth island, so your first job is getting there and confirming you are in the right place. The island has a wooden dock next to a grassy hill and a lit Lucky Bait Casino sign nearby.

Equip the Radar device to scan your surroundings. The scanning grid names the area, so you can be sure you have landed on Lucky Bait Casino Island rather than an earlier island.

Head onto the wooden dock and look for the red shed sitting at the water’s edge. This is the vendor building that stocks the rifle.

Buy the Sniper Rifle for $3,800

Inside the red shed, the shop lists the Sniper Rifle at $3,800. If you have the money, the buy is instant and the rifle drops straight into your weapon slots.

Walk into the red shed on the dock and open the shop prompt. Select the Sniper Rifle listing marked at $3,800.

Confirm the purchase. Your cash total drops by $3,800 and the rifle is added to your hotbar, which is how you know the buy went through.

Note: If the option does not let you buy, you are short on cash. The price does not change, so top up to at least $3,800 before returning to the shed.

Earn the $3,800 by fishing

Fishing is the main way to build up the cash for the rifle. You cast a rod into the ocean, wait for a bite, and reel the catch in. Fish like Bass can then be sold to the shopkeeper inside the Lucky Bait Casino building for money.

Equip the fishing rod and aim over the water. Hold to pull the rod back, then release to cast the line out into the ocean.

Wait for a bite, then hold or spam the reel action to bring the fish in. A “Creature Caught!” message and a new entry such as Bass confirm the catch landed.

Sell your catch to the shopkeeper inside the Lucky Bait Casino building. Repeat until your balance clears $3,800.

What the Sniper Rifle does

The Sniper Rifle deals 200 base damage per hit, the same amount every time it connects. It supports quick scoping for faster aim and can swap weapon skins, so you can change its look without changing its stats.

Once the rifle sits in your hotbar and shows its 200-damage hit on a target, you have everything the weapon offers. From there it is simply a matter of keeping cash flowing through fishing so you can afford whatever else the islands sell.
