Dragunov

Summary
The Dragunov, alternatively known as SVDS (short for Snayperskaya Vintovka Dragunova Skladnaya), is a great weapon if you have good aim. Like the Remington, aiming for headshots is important, but due to its higher mag size and faster fire rate, body shots are fine.

If you prefer sniping and not using automatic weapons or shotguns, the Dragunov is a decent weapon. Remember to buy a scope as soon as possible to make use of the long range.

Background Story
Ever since the Remington 700 was released, L-Brain Sidework were flooded with positive feedback. They wanted something bigger and better, so they decided to fund R-Brain Hardwork with the budget to create a new sniper. The facilities used in L-Brain Sidework are sub-par at best, and it would not serve the follow-up to the Remington justice. After a minor production mishap, the Dragunov was released.

Tips

 * Like other snipers, this weapon is better suited for a support role.
 * If a mob is giving someone trouble, you can safely pick it off from a distance.
 * This can kill an Edgar and Leaper with a single bullet. Take advantage.
 * In large, open maps, this weapon can really shine.
 * Third-person is recommended while using the Dragunov.
 * Not only does this help with situational awareness, but also target tracking as the bullet velocity may be slow at times.
 * If you are going in first-person, ADS'ing helps as your bullets fly slightly above your crosshair.
 * The fire rate is decent in close quarters and the ammunition is quite plentiful for a sniper.
 * If you need more ammo, you can just equip a vest that supplies you with bonus mags.
 * Deal headshots, whenever you can, to maximise efficiency.
 * There's no downside to the Attachments for the Dragunov, so be sure to get the PSO-1 and the Bipod as soon as possible.
 * Equipping both gives a +100 bonus to both range and accuracy.
