Here There Be Random Drops... Maybe:
The first option, and perhaps the most soul-crushing, is the random drop. Yes, the wonderful (read: maddening) system that throws out random loot after a match. It's a gamble, pure and simple. You could get that shiny new Sydney Sleeper, or you could be staring down the barrel of your 12th Sandvich. Just remember, patience is key (and a healthy dose of luck wouldn't hurt).
Tip: Focus more on ideas, less on words.
Pros: Free (if you ignore the emotional cost of duplicate crates) Cons: Takes forever, may result in existential dread
QuickTip: Focus on what feels most relevant.
Craft Your Way to Sharpshooting Glory!
Feeling a little more proactive? Crafting might be your answer. You'll need a Huntsman (Sniper's classic bow) and some reclaimed metal. But be warned, this method can be a bit of a gamble too. Make sure you're using a tradable Huntsman, or you might end up with a non-tradable Sydney Sleeper, which is like a participation trophy... but for snipers.
QuickTip: Copy useful snippets to a notes app.
Pros: More reliable than random drops (sort of) Cons: Requires specific items and a bit of crafting know-how
QuickTip: Use the post as a quick reference later.
