M40[]
Cost: $1000
$800 per kill
Available on both teams.
The M40 is a lightweight, inexpensive bolt action sniper rifle. It inflicts deadly damage to the head on any range but requires two shots on the body. The weapon has a suppressor attached and so is quiet on shots.
The M40 is cheap and is viable for long range duels in initial rounds or at an economic setback. The movement speed is high for any sniper and has a modest armour penetration. The weapon is accurate when not scoping and jumping, making no scoping and jumpshots effective.
AWM[]
Cost: $4000
$300 per kill
Available on both teams
The AWM is an extremely powerful long range, bolt action weapon. It inflicts lethal damage on any body part excluding the legs and feet. It has very high precision on scoping and highest penetration power of any weapon.
The AWM is very expensive, thus viable for some later rounds. It is very bulky with slow movement speed and is highly inaccurate when not scoping, moving or jumping. Its fire rate is very slow. So, the player needs to land accurate shots on the enemy.
M110[]
Cost: $4300
$200 per kill
Available on both teams
The M110 is a long range weapon. It is one the two most expensive weapon alongside the M60 in the game, viable only in the later rounds. It is useful for players who are not skilled enough to land accurate shots with bolt action snipers.
The weapon has a fire rate lower than rifles but higher than bolt action. It has slow movement speed but very high armour penetration. The gun has negligible recoil,its accuracy while moving (Scoped) is the same as the hip-firing accuracy and because of its hip-firing accuracy you can use the M110 like an assault rifle, it also has high accuracy on the initial bullets, but on spraying continuously makes the bullets unpredictably inaccurate.
