Strategy Guide
Strategy Guide[]
|
This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- Players should aim above targets at long ranges to compensate for bullet drop. The further the target the higher the player should aim.
- Players should aim in the direction a target is moving at long ranges to compensate for the bullet travel time. The faster and further the target, the further the player should aim.
- If looking to choose between a Hunting Rifle, and a scoped Sniper Rifle, such as the Vengeful Sniper Rifle, keep in mind that the Hunting Rifle has less bullet drop, but does less damage, and lacks a scope.
- As the Hunting Rifle lacks a scope, the weapon does not emit a Sniper Glare, so you will be less noticed by enemies when aiming.
- The Hunting Rifle can one-shot headshot players regardless of the mode they are playing, so hitting headshots with it is recomended.

Trivia
Trivia[]
- The Hunting Rifle is the only weapon present in Chapter 3 to retain its changing models depending on the weapon's rarity, as this was removed for the Revolver and altered for the Burst Assault Rifle / Striker Burst Rifle.
- The Uncommon rarity used to be Exclusive to Creative before it was added to Demon Rush with Update v37.40.
- The Mythic rarity once mistakenly used the same stats as the Legendary version, although unique stats for it existed in the files.
- This issue was fixed with the launch of Chapter 7: Season 3.
- The Mythic rarity has a magazine size of 2 as opposed to the typical 1 shot per magazine, similar to Baron's Double Down Pistol. However, unlike Baron's Double Down Pistol, the Mythic Hunting Rifle does not have a unique name or description that mentions this enhancement in any way.
