Tactics facing Skull-5 users
Classic Battle= Zombie Mods=
 * Avoid medium and long ranges contact.
 * One-hit-kill sniper rifles like AWP is recommended when facing Skull-5 users.
 * Skull-5 has no crosshair, so use this as an advantage by assaulting in close range.
 * You can't run when shot, Skull-5 will stun you if the shooter hit you repeatedly and other humans will have a chance to do a melee attack on you.
 * Skull-5 bullets will knock Light Types far away and Heavy Types a short distance if the bullet hit you mid-air. So jump when being shot to escape easily.
 * Cooperate with other zombies to take down Skull-5 users to have a higher chance to infect him/her. Don't go alone unless you have proper skills.
 * Use zombies with small hitboxes like Light Type to avoid Skull-5 bullets. This choice needs a proper skill to dodge.
 * Run away when Skull-5 users turn on Deadly Shot, or you'll be killed instantly if your HP is below 4000.

Trivia

 * This is the only weapon which can shoot accurately even when JUMPING. Use this as an advantage.
 * The M14 EBR in real life can be chambered with 7.62 NATO rounds and fed with 20 rounds only instead of 5.56 AZ and 24 rounds.
 * It shares the same ammunition with all Skull machine guns and has 240 rounds as reserve ammunition in all modes except Zombie Mode, which allows only 200 rounds of reserve ammunition and Scenario mode which allows 600 rounds of reserve ammunition.
 * This is a fictional weapon but the original M14 EBR can be combined with a scope.
 * The reload animation of this weapon is incorrect, because the user turns the clip from the other side. The user should press the magazine slot first before removing the magazine.
 * The reload animation uses a MagPul style where two magazines are taped together.
 * The scope is tied to the weapon in a clumsy way.
 * This weapon has not been released yet in Indonesia even though the Balrog series has started to be released.
