Lagoon Specter: Scoped Precision Rifle - Sniper Arena Wiki
A focused look at the Lagoon Specter, the precise scoped alternative for players who hold long angles.
Overview
The Lagoon Specter is a precision-focused sniper rifle that rewards players who like to hold long, scoped angles rather than chase aggressive quick scopes. It sits in the A-tier of our best sniper ranking and offers a distinct feel from the all-rounder Kar98 for players whose aim style leans toward patient, pre-aimed shots.

Unlocking and Skinning the Lagoon Specter

Because the rifle is precision-focused, choose a skin with a clean scope area that does not visually clutter your view. Browse the skins list and test a skin in casual before committing.
