Chambered for the powerful 12.7x75mm round, the high muzzle velocity and stopping power afforded by the RAMS .50M ensures shots will hit harder and faster than others in its class.
This 4th Anniversary Edition of the RAMS .50 harnesses high muzzle velocity and stopping power to hit harder and faster than other sniper rifles in its class. TR use only.
The Republic Anti Materiel Sniper .50M is the heaviest hitter in the long-range sniper rifle line-up. It suffers with the slowest chamber time and longest reload speed on the market, without bringing an increased ammo capacity as the SR-7 does, but chooses instead to provide incredible ranged power through both the highest muzzle velocity and highest damage of any long range rifle in the TR Armory excluding the Bighorn .50M.
As with most bolt-action sniper rifles, the RAMS .50M 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 6x magnified S3 comes standard on many Terran sniper rifles. Its moderate zoom level and mil-dot sighting makes it perfect for mid-to-long range combat.
The TR's Advanced Precision Scope 10x is responsible for record-setting long distance kills on Auraxis. It comes equipped with a standard mil-dot reticle.
The weapon's muzzle flash and noise generation is reduced, and the player no longer appears on the minimap when firing. In exchange, the weapon's damage falls off 20 meters sooner and bullet velocity is reduced by 15%.
The rail mounted Darklight Flashlight can illuminate hostile cloaked infiltrators and dark areas but the light can give away your position. The light can be turned on and off with Toggle Attachment hotkey.
It is possible to earn both Ribbons and Medals while using the RAMS .50M. Each ribbon is a standard reward for achieving a set amount of kills with the rifle. Medals are awarded upon reaching kill milestones with the weapon.
Anti-infantry sniper rifles now use a separate Sniper Rifles 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.
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.
Short reload from 4.72sec. to 3.86sec.
Long reload from 5.575 to 5sec.
