M82

The M82 is a powerful sniper rifle that can be bought at any point during the game. Although it is regarded as the best non-premium sniper rifle in the game, its stats are virtually identical to the OSV96, which is unlocked at a lower tier, but to get both guns at the same tier, the M82 costs less as the OSV96 is unlocked at tier 11.

Red Crucible 2
The M82 is very effective at long range with a 8x magnification scope and instant kill capacity. Its effectiveness at closer ranges is limited, as (contrary to its stats) it fires one shot every 2.5 seconds, therefore careful aim has to be taken to ensure a hit. As with the OSV96 and other .50 Cal rifles, it will not perform one shot kills to the stomach and limbs.

The M82 returns as a premium sniper rifle in Red Crucible: Reloaded.
