*When held by the Blues, a Runner can avoid their fire because the Snipers use their laser dot sight on the rifle, thus making the source of the firing more traceable.

*When a Runner is holding the rifle, it can be easily seen that it is one of the heaviest guns around. With that, players should be advised not to hold on to the weapon for a long period of time.

Overview[]

The Barrett M95 is a .50 caliber sniper rifle held by PK snipers. It is the most powerful weapon in the game. It can kill any enemy in the game with a single round even if they are scripted not to die and for Faith Connors, it takes 2 in normal mode.

Unlike the other weapons in the game, the sniper rifle has no crosshair/reticle and if the player tries to fire the weapon without using the scope, the weapon shoots in an unpredictable manner, therefore it forces the player to use the scope attached on the rifle to aim.

Faith uses an M95 in an attempt to stop Kate Connors's convoy in Chapter 8 by shooting out CPF van's engine.

Trivia[]

  • When held by the snipers, the weapon has a visible laser which helps the player avoid the fire. The actual model however has no laser sight attached and the laser could just be Faith's runner vision.
  • Despite the fact that the weapon outputs 100 HP of damage it still instantly kills every single enemy.
