This Clusterfúck is amazing.

[Arndell]

Out of all the snipers I have used so far, a modded AK, a Vintar, even tried the "lynx" you get during the main story.

None of them feel as nice to use as the Clusterfúck.

The bullet spread feels more than fair, it's got such low recoil, it's fire rate is basically as fast as you want to click the mouse, it has a 30 bullet magazine.

Plus unlike a normal assault rifle, it even gets the option to upgrade the 75% more breath holding and has a really long range scope built in.


Sure it does less damage that a "real" sniper rifle, but it's fire rate, high magazine size more than makes up for it, can even just use it in mid / close range like a pistol when taken by surprise.


I think this is going to be my favourite weapon in the game.

the DNIPRO with x4 scope and silencer is reaaalllly nice, you should try it as soon as you can get your hands on it. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ was my first love too, but that AS is way better in terms of ammo penetration than ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Would you guys recommend upgrading the flatness or bullet range on the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥?

Depends on your aim.

Flatness allows you to correct less of a drop of the bullet.

I went for range with it. You get pretty used to how bullets drop really quickly, and that bit of extra range makes headshots that much easier.

Loved the Cluster****, and ran it all the way until I had both Kharod and Dinpro's fully upgraded.

I guess I will go with flatness, given it's more an AR than an actual sniper rifle so I can land all (51 with extended mag) bullets easier during action.

Same here. I actually hated it how irrelevant it made everything for at least half of the game. You get it rather early and you go through everything until you get to Yaniv where you can then upgrade a Kharod which is finally something better.

One thing: breath-holding doesn't seem to work on this scope/weapon upgrade or not.

Last playthrough was started before 1.2 but finished today, in case that effected how the Cluster works.

There is a very good chance I am misremembering.

I'm at the end of the game and have mainly used the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Holding breath definitely works with Clusterfark. It's been my primary weapon for a while.

I just don't really ever use that. It's a mid-range carbine. I don't really snipe ever in this game. My target is almost always <50m away.

[Nite69]

I just got that cluster sniper yesterday and its a disappointment it didn't even work for the beard / suton sniper kill mission where as the SVD or whatever its called did work for it

[KuRtt]

I love this weapon but it breaks too fast in my opinion.

[Dr.Abscondus]

It's not powerful enough for the later game when enemies are all wearing exosuits. From Pripyat on I did a lot of sniping. especially below ground. Gauss rifle is the best for sniping.

Yeah I swapped over to mainly using a shockingly accurate automatic shotgun by the time I got to Pripyat, i forgot it's name but the Clusterfúck couldn't keep up.

I still used that weapon for the majority of the game though and was extremely happy with it.
