Description
The .50 Cal Sniper is a gray sniper rifle loaded with .50 caliber shots. A well balanced sniper rifle, it is great for campers and those skilled enough to score headshots. Due to its OHKO capabilities it inflicts upon scoring a headshot, some would say it is the Holy Grail's little brother. It is one of the most powerful weapons available due to its Headshot++ ability, which can further guarantee a OHKO on even bulkier targets when stacked with Target Marker.
Pros
- Has HeadShot++, making this weapon extremely powerful at dishing headshots.
- Has enough ammo to kill.
Cons
- Not enough power for body shots.
- Not very fast at dishing out shots.
- Has limited ammo.
History
In Raze 1, it rivalled the Railgun in power, just as it does now. However, the .50 Cal Sniper still fires faster as the Railgun, ensuring a higher DPS if not for the Railgun's ability to hit multiple opponents.
Trivia
- It is very common for an AI to headshot itself with this weapon off a Static Field.
- The .50 Caliber Sniper Rifle does 50% damage. If used until it has no ammo left, it can deal 600% damage.
- In the Raze 2 demo the .50 cal sniper looks like the railgun of Raze 2.
- The Electro Bolt's stats are almost exactly the same as this weapon, except that headshots with this weapon can OHKO, while the Electro Bolt can hit enemies in arcs.
Countermeasures
- Adrenaline Boost
- Armor Plating
- Combat Armor
- Shield Battery
Reality
The .50 Cal Sniper is actually the M82. The M82 is a recoil operated, semi-automatic, anti-material sniper rifle developed by the American Barret Firearms Manufacturing company. A heavy SASR (Special Application Scoped Rifle), it is used by many units and armies around the world. It is also called the "Light Fifty" for its .50 cal BMG (12.7 mm) chambering. The weapon is found in two variants—the original M82A1 (and A3) and the bullpup M82A2. The M82A2 is no longer manufactured, though the M500 can be seen as its successor.
