Strengths
- Excels at dealing high damage per bullet, especially on headshots.
- Repeatedly landing headshots results in a very fast time-to-kill against all three Builds.
Weaknesses
- Low magazine size and lengthy reloads, especially when fully reloading the magazine.
- This makes running out of ammunition during ongoing gunfights punishing.
- The weapon's overall slow rate-of-fire makes most missed shots punishing, especially when the user is actively being pressured by other contestants.
How to use it
- The weapon excels at locking down open areas.
- Positioning yourself on higher ground to overlook a common choke point or travel route can result in easy damage.
- This allows you to quickly cause high burst damage, which can be valuable, especially if your teammates are nearby to follow-up on said damage.
Community verdict
Update 12.1.0 cuts damage from 88 to 85. Two body shots no longer kill a 175 HP Light (three shots, 1.54s). Medium and Heavy times stay 1.54s and 2.31s, behind the AKM and FCAR. Site users had already pushed back on rating it above those rifles.
Season 12 status

Weapon properties
- Ranged — Strikes targets by aiming and firing at them from a distance.
- Single Fire — Fires once when the trigger is pulled. The trigger must be released before firing again.
- Aim Down Sights — Has iron sights and optical sights that significantly increase accuracy when used.
- Round Reload — Inserts a single round on reload. The next rounds will also start reloading automatically until the magazine is full or the animation is cancelled. Reloading when the weapon is empty will quickly insert multiple rounds, then resume loading round-by-round.
- Unstable Accuracy — Suffers a significant decrease in accuracy while moving and while airborne.
- Hitscan — Travels in a straight line, meaning there is no bullet drop. The direction will deviate from the crosshairs depending on accuracy.
- Critical Hit — Critically hits on headshots, applying a damage multiplier.
- High Range Falloff — Deals reduced damage when hitting targets at long distances (falloff starts beyond 30m).
- Minor Structure Damage — Damages structures. Takes a very long time to break a concrete wall.
