Tactics[]
Likely the first long range weapon you will ever lay hands on, this rifle is longer ranged and more accurate than most firearms available early on, it deals little damage per shot (though it's still enough to kill or severely wound zombies with one shot early on) and has a small and slow to reload magazine. Its wielder should be grouped with other survivors and kept at a safe distance.
Recommended gear[]
- Ammunition Pouches/Bandoliers allow it to fire more rounds in a shorter time, thanks to the faster reload speed.
- Ammunition Mods improves its low damage.
Pros[]
