I stream every other Saturday at 9 PM CST, covering not just Breakpoint, but countless other stealth and sniper-themed games!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TU 4.0.0 added the MSR as a purchasable blueprint from Maria\u2019s shop, making it easy to acquire once you meet the 45,000 skell credit price. Hot tip: If you\u2019re in need of a few thousand skell credits and haven\u2019t cleared out all the Aamon Drone Camps, just deactivate drones in the World Settings and you can easily grab 1500 to 2000 skell credits per camp without having to do anything but trot across the map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The MSR has a moderate range stat, but we\u2019ll talk more about that later. Here you can see how it compares to the other sniper rifles in Breakpoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ghostgamer.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/GRBP-SniperBulletDropWeb.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/ghostgamer.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/GRBP-SniperBulletDropWeb-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ghostgamer.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/GRBP-SniperBulletDropWeb-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ghostgamer.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/GRBP-SniperBulletDropWeb-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ghostgamer.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/GRBP-SniperBulletDropWeb-1536x960.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ghostgamer.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/GRBP-SniperBulletDropWeb.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Updated 5\/28\/2021<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Damage is in the middle-of-the-road, too, taking 10 shots to destroy a Landscape Mk. II while suppressed with Rolling Thunder active. This puts it in-line with the Scorpio (and Scorpio Scout), only being beat out by the Zastava (5 shots, although it can\u2019t be suppressed), HTI and M82 (6 shots) and TAC-50 (8 shots).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Detection range for the MSR is 202m when unsuppressed, and 16m when suppressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where this rifle really stands out, though, is it\u2019s usability with optics. The best scope for the MSR is the T5XI; Without Ballistic Advantage, and with the Range Finder attachment, you can utilize the T5XI reticle as a bullet drop compensator. The center is 200m, the next line is 300m, the line after that 400m, then 500m, and just above the bottom is 600m, as you can see in the illustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ghostgamer.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/T5XIReticleWeb.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/ghostgamer.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/T5XIReticleWeb-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1466\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ghostgamer.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/T5XIReticleWeb-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ghostgamer.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/T5XIReticleWeb-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ghostgamer.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/T5XIReticleWeb-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ghostgamer.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/T5XIReticleWeb.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><em>The MSR bullet drop with the T5XI reticle<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This means the previous champion, the Recon A1 with the TARS101, has officially been unseated if you want a more immersive experience when sniping. The T5XI is a 6x optic, while the TARS101 is just 5x. On top of that, the MSR does significantly more damage; The Recon A1 takes 15 shots to the MSR\u2019s 10 to destroy the same vehicle. That means pretty much anybody, including Wolves, will go down with 1 shot, which is much more realistic for a 338 round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the Scorpio &amp; Scorpio Scout both do the same, and can use the VC16 optic with Ballistic Advantage to line up with the reticle, both of those rifles suffer from severe accuracy issues where shots will fly incredibly wide for no explicable reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only real downsides to the MSR vs. other rifles is the rate of fire and limited magazine size; the MSR takes a fair amount of time to cycle the bolt in Breakpoint, and you\u2019re relegated to just a 5 round magazine. This means doing whatever you can do to ensure a fast reload; If you\u2019re playing Pathfinder, load up on rations. Sharpshooter classes already have a nice boost to reload speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that utilizing it at closer ranges is more of a risk than the Recon A1: You won\u2019t be able to keep a swarm of enemies at bay if you\u2019re reloading every 5 rounds. However, that\u2019s not why you should be carrying the MSR: The MSR is going to be a powerhouse at long range for those who like to keep their distance. Keep someone close by to ensure you\u2019re covered should someone creep up to your shooting location. Thankfully, with the new Teammate experience update, you\u2019ll have plenty of options to keep your backside covered while shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do you feel about the MSR?
