When you have this M82 equipped, your main strengths will be the damage and bullet velocity. The loadout is designed to work with these attributes while improving your rate of fire.

  • Barrel: 22.6” Tiger Team
  • Underbarrel: Infiltrator Grip 
  • Magazine: 7 RND

  • Stock: Raider Pad

We’ll start off with your movement speed. The Infiltrator Grip and Raider Pad will allow you to move and aim walk much quicker so that you can respond to nearby enemies. If someone is closing in on you then these two attachments will help you get out of there in time and respond fast.

Next we’ll focus on boosting the M82’s rate of fire with the 22.6” Tiger Team barrel. This will also buff your damage and bullet velocity but at the cost of decreased ammo capacity and starting ammo. The goal is to deal more damage with less shots and this barrel will accomplish just that.

The 7 RND mag will cover the cost of the barrel by providing a 40% increase in magazine size, max starting ammo and ammo capacity. You’ll also have slightly reduced reloading speed but this won’t matter as you’ll be able to fire more often.

We’ll cap this loadout off with the handle. The Airborne Elastic Wrap will reduce the time taken to ADS and provide you with 90% flinch resistance. Not to mention you will be able to better aim when you go prone.

If you want to cover your six during close combat then we recommend that you keep a few Stun Grenades on you. This will slow the enemy down so that you can take your shot with ease.

With these attachments equipped, the M82 becomes near unstoppable and you can just sit back and pick off your enemies from a distance. This loadout has also improved the sniper rifle’s close combat capabilities so that you don’t have to worry about getting ambushed.
