M77-B

The  is a sniper rifle available to the Terran Republic. It is.

The M77-B serves as the balanced option in the long-range sniper rifle arsenal. It can neither boast the raw damage of the RAMS .50M or the ammo capacity of the SR-7, nor does it bring the velocity of either, but instead offers a relatively fast rechamber time and a fast reload speed, giving it the least downtime of all long-range rifles.

As with most bolt-action sniper rifles, the M77-B deals 210% damage on a headshot, rather than only 200%, increasing the range at which the rifle is able to kill standard infantry with one headshot.

The M77-B, NC14 Bolt Driver, and  XM98 are statistically identical.

Damage Fall-off
''Damage drop-off is linear. The two intermediate ranges listed are the ranges at which two bodyshots or one headshot, respectively, no longer kill a standard infantry target.''
 * 650 before 10 meters
 * 500 at 214 meters
 * 477 at 245 meters
 * 400 after 350 meters

Ribbons and Medals

History

 * October 24, 2016 Update
 * Reload speed from 3sec./4.6sec. to 2.8sec./4sec.
 * September 15, 2021 Update (A New Player Experience)
 * The M77-B has replaced the 99SV as the default sniper rifle for the Terran Republic Infiltrator.
 * March 30, 2022 Update (The Arsenal Update)
 * Anti-infantry sniper rifles now use a separate resistance (type 20).
 * Being struck by a sniper rifle now has more prominent audio.
 * Dev Note: The damage values for this new resistance are equivalent to small arms. This change will allow us to do is modify the bodyshot damage output from Nanoweave, as mentioned above.
 * Most Shotguns, Sniper Rifles, and Scout Rifles now use Comfort Grips, instead of Forward Grips.
 * Dev Note: Traditional Forward Grips offered no functional benefits to slow firing semi-auto weapons, so swapping them for Comfort Grips (which reduce the equip and unequip time of a weapon,) can be interpreted as a buff in almost all cases.
