Tactics[]

  • If wielding bolt-action sniper rifles, always perform a quick switch (by pressing the default key Q) to ease your movement if you miss the shot or hit opponents but still alive. Use your "Secondary" to finish him/her.
  • Hiding behind boxes sometimes isn't safe. Some players will penetrate your guard by throwing Flashbangs or HE Grenades.
  • Some players will shoot the materiel that hides your position. Be careful! Not every materiel in the map is reliable to protect you. They will shoot any materiel that can be penetrated by using their strong weapons.
  • It is recommended to fire semi-auto sniper rifle in bursts and stand still or crouching as they lose accuracy if player is moving for a bit and scoped.
  • Try practicing your quick-scope ability with bots.

Bolt-Action 2.0 Seconds Both Sides

Both of then have pretty much "neutral" stats, heres a list: Same Accuary (100%); Same recoil (30%); Same rate of fire (8%); Same Price ($10,000); Same reload time (2.0 seconds). Now for the differences, on the GK(Ghost Knight) side, we got a lot of "negative" stats, because this weapon is a degraded version of WT(White Tiger), and here is a list: Lower damage (Normal: -10 Zombie: -1748 Scenario: -3496) Lower magazine size (-5); Lower net ammo (-2); Lower Spare ammo (-50); Shorter net duration (-0,5); No hit-marker functions; No unlimited spare ammo in Scenario modes; Summon has a smaller hitbox. But, the WT don't have the Part System, and you can get this weapon on very low level on Zombie Z.

However, the WT is way more easy to get, cause it has basicly on every event now,(Mileage Auction, Fragments Shop, Transcedence Decoders, etc) and the GK, was an Season pass reward(Season 4 pass major prize), that now impossible to get it.

Other[]

  • Just like in real life. Pull the bolt to fire it again.

(except Scout which is increase the player's speed for 5%)
