A MSR788 Rifle is a bolt action rifle. It is a two handed weapon and can be attached to the back of a character to reduce weight.

Usage

Weapon

The MSR788 Rifle is a bolt action rifle, utilizing a 3 round MSR788 .308 Magazine as ammo. It can only hit one target at a time and but can pierce through targets. The rifle will need to be racked after reloading. Should the rifle jam on the player, press X to rack it and unjam it.

The MSR788 is on par with its lower caliber sibling the MSR700, with a slightly longer delay between shots makes this weapon a poor choice for fast paced combat or dealing with large groups of enemies, yet the powerful .308 round means that most targets hit with this rifle will die in a single shot. The small clip size may seem terrible at first but it is managable and the small size of the magazines makes reloading them during combat more viable, it's very much a weapon that demands patience but rewards the player for doing so with high critical chances and piercing headshots. On the topic of piercing headshots, this is something that the MSR788 can do, but its bigger sibling the M14 Rifle cannot do despite having the same caliber, however the latter has a bigger clip size, better accuracy, and a faster rate of fire.

However, this is not a rifle for low level aiming especially with its low mag count and noticable delay between shots, this weapon should be used by a level 4+ aiming skill player.

Attachments

The MSR788 Rifle can be fitted with the following attachments with the use of a screwdriver:

• Iron sight , x2 , x4 , x8 Scopes : Increases firing range.
• Recoil Pad : Reduces recoil.
• Red Dot : Increases aiming speed.
• Fiberglass Stock : Decreases weight and increases accuracy.
• Bayonet : Seemingly has no function in-game as of build 41.65.

To install these attachments, ensure that you have a screwdriver in your inventory, right click the MSR788 you want to modify, click on 'Upgrade' and pick the attachment you want to install.

Condition

The MSR788 Rifle is a firearm. As such, the durablity of the weapon is dependent on the player's aiming skill. This weapon's chance of losing durablity is: 1 in (60 + aiming x 2)

Repairing

Requires level 4 Aiming and another MSR788 Rifle to repair with. The higher the aiming skill is, the chances of a better and successful repair go up. Remember that with each consective repair, the amount of durablity restored decreases.

Distribution

Buildings

The MSR788 Rifle can be found in most homes (Notably in wardrobes/closets), Police Stations, Military Bases, gun shops.

Vehicles

The MSR788 Rifle can also be found in the trunk of police cruisers.

Trivia

• Although not similar visually, the name and some features in game imply that the MSR788 is based on Remington Model 788 rifle, which was produced during late 60's through early 80's and utilized 3-round detachable magazines.
