Best Marksman Rifles and Loadout

Following are the best marksman rifles and their loadout.

SP-R 208

The SP-R 208 is the best marksman rifle for causing destruction, but it does have a few weaknesses, primarily in its fire rate. The sniper shot from this weapon hits hard, taking down an opponent with just one bullet if hit in the upper chest area. It’s well suited to being customized for agility and quickness of movement – making this a desirable weapon for many long-range loadouts.

Following is the best loadout for SP-R 208:

Lockwood MK2

The MK2 is one of the most accurate guns in this game, beating out the SP-R 208 thanks to its increased firing speed and handling stats. The gun excels in lethal quick scopes because of these qualities when using attachments that boost ADS time or upgrading the Longhorn Lever for an even faster rate of fire. However, it suffers from a large disadvantage due to needing to reload after every shot and therefore having lower TTK (Time To Kill).

LM-S

The LM-S comes from one of the most popular rifle platforms out there – being able to produce incredible long-distance shots with accuracy. It’s high powered, has a large clip size, and fires quickly – making it ideal for hunting small game or if you just want a gun for home defence. However, because of how much recoil it has when firing rounds consecutively, reloading after every shot can take up some time which could give an intruder too much time to break in.

TAQ-M

The TAQ-M is another powerful marksman rifle that trades a little less firepower for quicker shooting speeds and better magazine capacity. With 10-round magazines, you’ll never need to worry about reloading again, but the trade-off in mobility can be costly. One advantage this gun has is its ability to use all SCAR attachments, making it versatile for any situation.
