AWM
Signature: Recon
A magnum bolt-action that hits harder and further than any rifle on the board — through light cover and vehicle glass. The slowest cycle in the game demands one clean shot.

The AWM is the heaviest bolt gun in the armory. The magnum .338 round punches through cover and light armor that would stop a lesser sniper, and it drops a target from anywhere on the map with one clean hit. This is the rifle that makes an entire lane unusable.
It's slow, it's unforgiving, and in a good perch it rewrites where the enemy is allowed to go.
Enormous power, a slow bolt, and heavy sway until you steady it. Hold-breath is mandatory for the far shot; the long cycle means a miss can be fatal.
Deals full damage out to 20m, falls off to its floor by 120m. Fight inside the green and it out-trades; past the red, switch weapons or reposition.
Lead: at 700 m/s the round travels fast — hold only a sliver ahead of a runner at distance. Slower rounds need a full body of lead.
Fast, mobile, forgiving up close — for flanks, rooms, and the swing.
Flat and steady for holding lanes — trade at distance where others fall off.
Deny the whole lane
Its range and punch make an entire sightline lethal. Pick the map's longest lane and shut it down — the enemy simply stops using it.
Shoot through cover
The magnum round penetrates light cover and armor. Punish targets who think a thin wall or a vehicle window makes them safe.
One shot, relocate
The slow bolt punishes staying put. Take the shot, move to a new perch, and never let them triangulate the flash.
