"A semi-automatic rifle with Mil-Dot, range finding scope. Massive stopping power and long range, but only accurate when still and crouched or prone."

The Falcon is equipped by pushing the Front Item or Back Item keybind, assigned to the number one key (1) and the number two key (2) respectively. Fire1, left click, will fire the weapon. Fire2, right click, will aim down sights. Reload, R, will put in a fresh magazine if there is any spare ammo.

It has 5 rounds when fully loaded. Maps with wind will cause long range shots to drift off course.

If lying still it's possible to accurately fire all 5 shots at the maximum fire rate.

Tuning

Changing the firemode via tuning will always start players off in semi-automatic mode. Pushing the firemode button will switch players to a valid firemode. The last firemode a player used will be remembered until the map changes.

The ammo that is loaded in a weapon by default is determined by the map. If a map spawns the player with more ammo loaded than the maximum magazine size as determined by tuning, then reloading will return the excess to the stack of Sniper Ammo in their inventory.

Having the held Manta drop when ragdolled will make it float in the air at the position where it was last held. Only Shields and Briefcases have physics.

Steam Builds

Gameplay

By default the Sniper Rifle cannot be used until it is picked up using "V". Upon pickup, you will have to go to your inventory and assign it a key binding by dragging it into the open slot you wish to use. Typically, this open slot is "2". The Sniper Rifle can be shot by using the Left Click on your mouse. Using Right Click will force the sniper rifle to aim down sights. Pressing Right Click again will make the Sniper Rifle come out of the aim down sights mode. Unlike the Pistol and SMG, the Sniper Rifle can take use of the zoom function while aiming down the sites. By holding down Right Click after toggling aim down sights mode, you can zoom in with the sniper to get a better focus in order to see the enemy. Also unlike the Pistol and SMG, a Sniper Rifle bullet is the least affected when it comes to distance and wind. Using the sniper while standing up will cause the shots to be very inaccurate. By crouching down or going prone will make sure your balance is high enough to guarantee a shot wherever your sites are aimed. The minimum balance needed for shots to be less affected by balance is about 70.
