99SV
The 99SV is the standard issue semi-automatic sniper rifle of TR Infiltrators. An accurized variant of the DMR-99, the 99SV allows the shooter to hit multiple follow-up shots at long range.
This weapon can kill targets in three body shots or two head shots. It comes stock with an attachment that removes the scope sway and it is not recommended to remove it as the other options are less than ideal for a sniper rifle. This attachment has made the 99SV and Semi Auto Sniper Rifles in general more competitive but if you want to save up for a proper bolt action rifle then the M77-B or TSAR-42 are your best bets.
Using this weapon requires a great change in playstyle in order to make it effective.
You cannot kill in one shot so accurate follow up shots are a must. Can technically kill faster than a bolt action rifle if said rifle did not score a one shot headshot kill.
Double headshots are viable, but are difficult to pull off. Unless you are dealing with a shielded heavy assault, aim for one headshot and a single body shot instead.
Fire 2-5 rounds at a time before repositioning or cloaking. DO NOT OVERREACH THIS LIMIT. You are already exposing yourself for too long after a 5th shot, it is not worth the kill.
Flanking enemies with this weapon is surprisingly devastating- the fast fire rate along with a fast reloading magazine will allow you to kill several adversaries in rapid succession.
Compared to bolt actions, the 99SV has greater potential against multiple targets.
The 99SV has very high bloom values. About .8 per shot. That is 16 times more bloom than a standard assault rifle. Only spam the trigger within 30 meters at most. Any further and you must let the weapon settle after each round fired.
The unscoped equivalent is the KSR-35, which has a slower muzzle velocity in comparison.
The TR's Advanced Precision Scope 10x is responsible for record-setting long distance kills on Auraxis. It comes equipped with a standard mil-dot reticle.
The weapon's muzzle flash and noise generation is reduced, and the player no longer appears on the minimap when firing. In exchange, the weapon's damage falls off 20 meters sooner and bullet velocity is reduced by 15%.

Ribbons and Medals
It is possible to get both Ribbons and Medals for using the 99SV. Each Ribbon is a standard reward for achieving a set amount of kills with the 99SV. Medals relate to how many overall kills you have with the 99SV.
