Longshot Sniper Rifle

&nbsp The weapon has a 30-round magazine by default, which is inserted into a loading port on the left-hand side behind a hinged cover. The rifle uses Synergie long range match grade ammunition; the same ammunition The rifle may not be oriented vertically in the inventory because of its large size (8x2). Enemies using sniper rifles typically have laser sights mounted on them, however, these weapons will not count as equipped with the laser sight mod if the player picks them up. Due to the mechanism of the laser sight affecting weapon bloom, a sniper rifle with the laser sight modification can become a substantial combat weapon in short and medium range engagments. It's high power makes it lethal to most normal enemies with a body shot, making it an effective way to clear a room with 30-40 bullets This weapon cannot be silenced. The weapon can mount a laser sight and always comes equipped with a scope. Warning: If a laser sight is fitted to this weapon, the scope will no longer be accurate. With no laser sight, the crosshairs reflect where the bullet will land. As soon as a laser sight is attached, the crosshairs will reflect a position 3-4 inches above where the bullet will actually land. However, since the laser sight does not show in the scope, the weapons is far less accurate when scoped. This seems to be because the laser is used to trace the bullet's path instead of the barrel, and the laser on the sniper rifle is mounted below the barrel. After testing, it appears that there is not a consistent pattern in bullet drop with the laser sight/scope issue such as being able to aim in the middle or near the tip of one of the perspective reference marks in the ranged optics. This can be overcome by using the cover mechanic. If you snap to cover, press the left stick to "pop out" and sight down the scope, you will find that both the Laser and the Scope are accurate again.
