In-Game Description

“

Magnetic weapons technology has particular utility for precision slow-fire weapons like sniper rifles. The Gauss Rifle will enable our Sharpshooters to cause greater damage at extended range.

”

Tactical Info

“

Sniper rifles always require both actions to fire. They are less accurate at close range, but deadly at a distance. Use upgrades looted from enemies to improve the Gauss Rifle's tactical effectiveness.
