Tactics[]
This weapon's extremely high accuracy means very few of its high damage bullets will be wasted, and it can put out quite a lot thanks to its high attack speed and large magazine, allowing it to efficiently take out any zombies within its admittedly short effective range.
Recommended gear[]
- Ammunition Mods increase its damage, allowing it to bring down zombies more quickly and efficiently.
- Extended Mags allow it to fire off even more of its high-powered rounds before needing to reload, reducing the chance that a zombie makes it to its wielder.
- Glasses compensate for its short range, allowing its wielder to more effectively engage zombies from further away.
- Bandoliers reduce the time needed to reload, allowing the wielder to be less vulnerable.
Pros[]

- Very Accurate
- Attacks Quickly
Cons[]
- Short Effective Range

Trivia[]
