Summary
The Barrett 50 Cal. (Known as Barrett M82 .50 Caliber) is by far one of the most devastating weapons in the game for anyone with good aim. It's able to kill zombies in one shot except for Tickers and Elementals, and with headshots, it will kill a Brute in five shots. Make sure to watch your ammo count, however. Although it's great at taking down zombies one by one, its magazine size is fairly small, due to it's huge bullets and small mag.

Background Story
This is by far the hardest hitting weapon that R-Brain Hardwork has ever made. Originally, it was created to punch through heavy armor and cover, but with its extremely deadly bullets and amazing accuracy, this is the perfect weapon for sharpshooters in the apocalypse. It cuts through zombie flesh like a sword cutting through silk, and this grants it the ability to penetrate through multiple zombies.

Tips

 * The Scope adds 100 range and 50 accuracy, so you should pick it up as soon as possible if you plan on dispatching foes from very long ranges.
 * The penetration ability is a small perk, but if you can line up multiple zombies you should take the shot.
 * The Bell will help the zombies to gather in one straight line.
 * Try outrun them while they are still following you so they can slowly a line themselves.
 * As with all marksman rifles, it is not recommended to use this weapon in first person/ADS with it. Your situational awareness is greatly lowered and can get you killed.
 * Shooting in 3rd person is very effective, even at close range.


 * It is highly recommended to only use this weapon with more open maps such as Farmhouse and Last Harvest.
 * If you want a CQC weapon, try an automatic rifle or shotgun.
 * If skilled enough, the Dragunov is a good CQC weapon.
 * Having the Rambo Knife or Steyr M as a secondary is highly recommended due to this weapon's lack of ammo and lack of reliability in close range.
 * Ammo is scarce, so if needed, equip armor that gives extra ammo.
 * Due to the small magazine size and delay between shots, this weapon is not recommended for trying to take on a Brute by yourself. If you're confident in your aim and know where to position yourself, then go ahead.
 * Above all, this weapon is best used for a party, used to take down more dangerous targets like Brutes before they're able to close the gap on other survivors.
 * If aiming for a Ticker, since bullets can penetrate multiple zombies, you will often explode the tanks on its back unless you aim in from the side or headshot the Ticker.
 * This weapon is devastating on high ground, try to get on an object high enough and snipe.
