The current mode appears in the action bar when you switch modes or use the weapon.

How To Use

Scythe Mode

The weapon starts in Scythe Mode.

• Use the normal attack control to strike nearby enemies.
• Normal use displays the current mode but does not fire a projectile.
• Use this mode when enemies are within melee range.

Sniper Mode

1. Sneak and use the weapon to switch to Sniper Mode.
2. Aim at an enemy or another target.
3. Use the weapon to launch an arrow in the direction you are looking.

The projectile is launched from in front of the player, making it suitable for attacking targets at a distance. Sniper shots are generated by the weapon, so no separate arrow ammunition is required.

Switching Modes

Sneak-use is the mode control:

• Sneak + use in Scythe Mode: switches to Sniper Mode
• Sneak + use in Sniper Mode: switches to Scythe Mode

The action bar displays either SHADOW REAPER RIFLE: SCYTHE MODE or SHADOW REAPER RIFLE: SNIPER MODE after the mode changes.

Crafting And Obtaining

Craft the weapon at a crafting table using 2 obsidian, 2 iron ingots, 1 netherite ingot, and 2 sticks.

You can also obtain it from the Creative inventory under the Equipment category.

Abilities And Mechanics

The weapon uses a bow-style use animation and slows movement while being used. Its durability can be reduced during combat, so keep an eye on its condition during extended fights.

Progression And Strategy

• Start in Scythe Mode when exploring caves, defending yourself, or fighting enemies at close range.
• Switch to Sniper Mode before engaging enemies across open terrain.
• Use distance to weaken or eliminate targets before they reach you, then switch back to Scythe Mode for close combat.
• The weapon is made with a netherite ingot, so it is best suited to players who already have access to advanced Nether resources.
• Sword-compatible enchantments can improve its melee-focused use.
