[edit] Overview

The Rifle is the first long range weapon available to the player. It features a medium rate of fire, single-shot, medium damage, long range, and a variety of damage types.

The rifle does much more armour damage than the equivalent level of shotgun, crouching also greatly effects the amount of damage done.

In addition to the extra damage offered by levels in the firearms skill the rifles chance of scoring critical hits will also rise.

The rifle is unquestionably the most "balanced" weapon in the game, combining speed, range, and efficiency to create an exceptionally versatile and universally powerful weapon. Although other weapon types such as the chaingun can do far more damage per second, they also consume about four times as much ammunition to deal the same amount of damage. While useful for any character line, rifles are especially powerful placed in the hands of specialists (and their various sub-classes) who still want to be able to deal standard, reliable damage with no bogus side effects, such as those from Leech Guns, or with highly conditional effects, such as those from Injection Guns.
