SV98
The SV98 is a sniper rifle in Wardogs that fires 7.62x54mm. It does 55 damage per hit at 46 rounds per minute and costs $5,200. Against an unarmored 100 HP target it needs 2 hits.
Is the SV98 good?
The SV98 is A tier on our tier list and ranks 3 of 5 sniper rifles on time to kill through level 2 armor.
With standard ammo it takes 2 shots to the chest to kill an unarmored player (1304 ms), 2 through level 2 armor (1304 ms) and 3 through level 4 (2609 ms).
The right ammo changes that: hollow point rounds kill an unarmored player in 1 shot.
Legs are never armored, so 2 shots to the upper leg kill even a level 4 player with hollow point ammo.
For value, the Mosin Nagant kills at least as fast through level 2 armor and costs $700 less. On the numbers alone that is the better buy.
