Intro

Hi, as there is a real shortage of the important info for this game,
I hope this helps saving time and evade the unnecessary stuff.
Enjoy your ride to 100% Achievements ^^

Note: For more details/descriptions on Sniper Rifles check ->LINKS

Sniper Rifles (1.Slot)

Important: Instead of 3 hits with Standard bullet, the Heavy bullet kills 1hit - even with bodyshots!

Dmg-Category	Suppressor	Caliber	Model	Special Ammo	Spec. MAG

HEAVY bullet	no	.50BMG	Ron Model B82 B95 Chris	AP , Explosive, DARPA AP , EMP, Tagging	5 5

BiS-Weapons (by Playstyle):

• Sniper (Reese ESR 2020) - the "Gold" standard for Sniping
  
• Tactician (SOO-KSV 2020) - great Allrounder (high RoF, AP-ammo vs HeavyArmor)
  
• Infiltrator (OFB SVDM) - best Utility (mobility, big Spec.Mags ..relies on CQC vs HeavyArmor)

Ammo Types:

• AP - armor piercing ammo
  
• EMP - electromagnetic burst (5m radius)
  
• Tagging - mark enemies within 25m
  
• Luring - lure enemies within 15m
  
• Explosive - explosion on impact (2,5m radius)
  
• DARPA - unaffected by wind/weather (SGW Contracts 2 calls it AGILE)

Note: The important magazine to get is "Special Mag" as it allows using all Ammo types your weapon features. Beware the Noob-trap of using anything else. Even EMP bullet kills targets with headshots..

Assault Rifles /Shotguns (2.Slot)

Warning: Those are LOUD weapons (no Suppressors available). Only use 2. weapon against multiple alerted enemies within 50m..
-> whenever possible be stealthy (silent Snipers/ Handguns ..or melee)

Assault Rifles	DMG-Category	Ext. MAG
AKA-47 MKA-12 AMA ACE-7 ° Hunt AR65	Rifle bullet	45 30 35 35

Shotguns	DMG-Category	MAG-size
°Giovanni M4 (DLC) ROCK AS100 (DLC) Kell-T	Buck + Slug	8 + 8 8 + 8 14 + 14

° = reduced noise!

Handguns (Sidearm -3.Slot)

Warning: Evade LOUD weapons, it´s suicide. Also ignore weak Light Bullets. In first hours Standard Bullet is ok, but only Heavy Bullet is a sure 1hit Headshot ^^
Heavies are special, 1hit-kills require upgraded Knife-Perk or Sniper rifle (.338 /.50 ,otherwise AP ammo).
