SKS
The SKS is a DMR in Wardogs that fires 7.62x39mm. It does 42 damage per hit at 420 rounds per minute and costs $2,400. Against an unarmored 100 HP target it needs 3 hits.
Is the SKS good?
The SKS is B tier on our tier list and ranks 3 of 3 DMRs on time to kill through level 2 armor.
With standard ammo it takes 2 shots to the chest to kill an unarmored player (143 ms), 4 through level 2 armor (429 ms) and 6 through level 4 (714 ms).
The right ammo changes that: hollow point rounds kill an unarmored player in 1 shot, armor piercing cuts level 2 armor to 3 and level 4 to 4 shots (429 ms).
Legs are never armored, so 3 shots to the upper leg kill even a level 4 player with hollow point ammo.
No cheaper DMR matches it through level 2 armor. The SVD is faster, at $4,800.
