The MSR788 rifle is a bolt action rifle. It is a two-handed weapon that can be attached to the back of a character to reduce encumbrance.

Usage

The MSR788 rifle is a bolt action rifle, utilizing a 3 round MSR788 magazine as ammo. It can only hit one target at a time and 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 un-jam 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. 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 manageable 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 noticeable delay between shots, this weapon should be used by a level 4+ aiming skill player.

Pros Cons
  • One of the firearms with the highest damage per shot and second-highest damage per second, only after the M14 and other shotgun-type firearms. Will usually kill the target in one shot.
  • Farthest gun range, both with and without attachments; excellent for dispatching zombies or even groups of zombies from a much further distance away.
  • Requires magazine to operate: magazines can be stored in the inventory, increasing the action time with little to no reload time.
  • Capable of piercing up to two zombies and also can kill the second zombie with one shot
  • Requires level 4+ Aiming skill to use efficiently: lower chances to lose durability.
  • Requires level 4+ Aiming skill to use efficiently: usage of the gun below the minimum requirements limits your accuracy severely, making it very unlikely that you will hit anything.
  • Mediocre performance at extremely close range, requires the backup of a shotgun, a pistol, a melee weapon, or another person.
  • Requires magazine to operate: can only hold one bullet in the chamber without a magazine, decreases its overall efficiency and almost every other stats of the gun except its damage and its range.

Drive-by shooting

All guns have the ability to shoot from vehicles. First press V, which opens the vehicle radial menu and open your window. Aim and fire. Drivers and passengers are all able to use this ability at the cost of reduced accuracy while the vehicle is moving. The driver cannot control the vehicle while aiming, it's recommended to cruise at a safe speed and make sure there are no obstacles that can cause a crash while you're driving and shooting.

Attachments

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

  • Iron Sight ScopeIronSight.png: Increases maximum firing range by 3 tiles.
  • x2 Scope Scope2x.png: Increases minimum firing range by 6 tiles and maximum firing range by 7 tiles.
  • x4 Scope Scope4x.png: Increases minimum firing range by 8 tiles and maximum firing range by 13 tiles.
  • x8 Scope Scope8x.png: Increases minimum firing range by 10 tiles and maximum firing range by 20 tiles.
  • Recoil Pad RifleRecoilPad.png: Reduces recoil.
  • Red Dot RedDot.png: Increases aiming speed.
  • Fiberglass Stock RifleFibreglassStock.png: Decreases weight by 0.5 and increases base hit chance by 8%.
  • BayonetFuture HuntingKnife.png: Seemingly has no function in-game as of build 41.78.16.

To install an attachment, right-click the MSR788 you want to modify, click 'Upgrade' and click the attachment you want to install. Requires a screwdriver and the attachment you wish to install.

Condition

The MSR788 rifle is a firearm. As such, the durability of the weapon is dependent on the player's aiming skill. This weapon's chance of losing durability 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 consecutive repair, the amount of durability restored decreases.
