Luna is a Sharpshooter Specialist in Killing Floor 3 that works best in long-range encounters. She can easily hit weak spots or quickly take down dangerous Zeds before they can become a threat to the squad. However, you can’t just grab the most expensive weapon in the shop and expect to perform well. She lacks wave clearing on her kit, so you need to rely on your allies to sweep most of the enemies each wave. 

Here is a build guide for Luna, the Sharphooter Specialist in Killing Floor 3. This includes the best skill tree setup, loadout, weapon mods, and many more.

Best Sharpshooter Loadout

Here is a quick look at the loadout for the Sharpshooter Specialist in Killing Floor 3:

  • Primary: Samaritan and ESR 36
  • Secondary: Disciple
  • Tool: Pulse Lure or Shock Trap

The Samaritan is the Special Weapon for Luna and is a must-have before the boss fight starts. It deals massive Cold damage, which is good for temporarily freezing enemies that can easily close the gap. It can also be a good wave-clearing tool, especially against weaker Zeds. 

As for your alternate Primary weapon, go for the ESR 36 sniper rifle. This weapon boasts massive single-target damage. It’s good for taking down annoying threats like the Sirens before they can get closer. 

The Secondary is useful when enemies are too close to you and you need to clear them out fast. It offers a very strong firepower and includes one shotgun shot in alternate fire mode for close encounters. As for your tool, Pulse Lure is mostly good at keeping enemies from moving while you take aim. Shock Trap is good when you are being chased by enemies and need them to run away.

Best Primary Weapons for Sharpshooter

  • Heat Disperser
  • Enhanced Foregrip
  • Red Dot Sight
  • Extended Mag

The Samaritan is Luna’s Special weapon in Killing Floor 3. It’s a bit pricey, so you will most likely afford this in the mid to late game. This will be your clearing too if you are not taking down key targets with a sniper rifle.

The Heat Disperser adds Cold Damage to this weapon, so you can freeze enemies in place. This weapon can be a bit shaky without the proper mods. This is why you need the Enhanced Foregrip and Red Dot Sight for the best accuracy. The Extended Mag is very important, so you can have more ammo before needing to reload. 

ESR 36

  • Sniper Scope
  • Hollow Point Rounds
  • Compensator
  • Enhanced Foregrip
  • Extended Mag
  • Hyper Velocity Receiver

The ESR 36 is designed to take down targets quickly. With the Hollow Point Rounds, it can pack a punch against enemies without any defenses. The rest are simply to increase your accuracy, allowing you to hit weak points easily. The Extended Mag gives you more ammo, something you don’t have much of in the field.

Disciple

  • Hollow Point Rounds
  • Suppressor
  • Laser Sight (Pistol)
  • Reflex Sight (Pistol)
  • Suppressed Cylinder
  • Carbon Fiber Receiver

Uncontested, the Disciple is the best sidearm for Luna, the Sharpshooter Specialist in Killing Floor 3. This is because of its fast firing rate, which is perfect for clearing Zeds that are too close to you. Its alternate fire is a shotgun blast that can provide space when needed.

Best Sharpshooter Tools

You don’t have much of an option for Tools as a Sharpshooter Specialist. The best one you can get is the Pulse Lure, which can distract enemies. It’s very useful if you want to stop key targets from moving, so you can aim at their weak points. You can purchase up to three lures.

Alternatively, you can go for Shock Trap to stun enemies for a short period. However, this is something that the Pulse Lure can do anyway. The only benefit you get from this tool is that you can purchase up to four traps.

Recommended Sharpshooter Weapon Mod Bonus Abilities

For the randomized weapon mods for Sharpshooter in Killing Floor 3, a must-have is the “Increases Damage by 35 from the first shot with a fully-loaded magazine.” You will be reloading a lot, so it’s easy to take advantage of this effect.

Another one you should have is the “33% chance to return 1 round to the magazine on killshot.” You can easily run out of ammo if you are not careful with how you use it. Having this bonus ability in your weapon mods is a huge help.

Skill Priority for Sharpshooter
