Trivia[]
- This is the first weapon in Counter-Strike Online to feature lock-on target function.
- Other players can also hear the lock-on sound.
- A blue trail can be seen when a user shot the Thunderbolt.
- This is the first sniper rifle that can do instant kill even on the legs.
- The word "RG2" can be found on the buttstock. It is possible acronym for Rail Gun 2.
- The scope emits neither sounds nor color changes when it is aimed at NPCs.
- There was a weird circled "B" sprite can be seen when the weapon is shot to a wall in the Singapore/Malaysia version. That was caused by a missing sprite file and was fixed in later updates.
- This also happened in the Taiwan/Hong Kong version but with an arrow instead of the circled "B". This has been fixed too in later updates.
- The user still reloads the gun even though the weapon has already run out of ammo due to the fact that its reload animation shares the same sequence as the weapon's shoot animation.
- This is one of the few weapons that does not play a reload animation in third person view.
- After fully enhanced, the magazine size increases to 35.
