How to get it
Leon, ch07: handed to you automatically in Victor's Private Office (Care Center 3F) as the Courtyard rooftop sniping section begins. First run only: on later runs (Insanity included) buy a rifle before the escort; those runs have a Supply Box on the West Balcony.
Verdict
Free in ch07 and the rifle with the most damage per shot (Game8's best). Keep it if you play slow and aim for heads; otherwise swap it for the Marksman 1A in ch09.
- ch07: from the rooftop, snipe Mr. Raccoon #10 on the garden lamp post before you drop down. Against the Blister Borne use it on the back cyst and at range.
- Silver Finish Scope (free, ch12): much higher zoom. BSAA Emblem Charm: more power only without a scope.
- It and the Marksman 1A do not fit comfortably together (6×2 each): pick one.
- DualShockers: fully tuned with Advanced Tuning it gets close to the Requiem.
- Leon Must Die Forever: the Hot Fuzz loadout gun (with the Hatchet).
