Sniper Rifle (Dead Rising 2)

The sniper rifle is a weapon which appears in Dead Rising 2: Case Zero, and is assumed to return in Dead Rising 2. Unlike the Sniper Rifle in Dead Rising, which appears to be a civilian hunting rifle, this rifle is a large-caliber military weapon. Like the original, however, the sniper rifle comes with a telescopic sight, magnifying Chuck's vision while lining up a shot. The rounds fired from the sniper rifle are so large and travel so fast, that it will kill a zombie outright, regardless of where they are shot; furthermore, the round can pass through several zombies at a time, killing several undead with a single bullet.

Attacks

 * Primary Attack: Tap to fire the rifle from the hip. This most often results in body-shotting nearby zombies.
 * Aim: Pressing and holding causes Chuck to shoulder the sniper rifle and line up a shot through the telescopic sight. (Then up and down on the D-pad to zoom in and out.)

Trivia

 * The model of the rifle is based off of the Barrett M107, a .50-caliber anti-material rifle.
 * Unlike the one in the original game, survivors can equip and will use this weapon.
 * The weapons piercing power is very powerful, in one shot, it could kill 10 zombies.
 * This used to be the sniper rifle in Dead Rising but it was scrapped. It made a comeback in Dead Rising 2 Case Zero.
 * In the Beta version of Dead Rising, Isabela is seen holding this. Carlito carries this in his second encounter.
 * For the rifle to be based of the Barett, it triggers a huge sound that can destroy your ears without ear protection. Chuck does not use any earprotection, and he does not lose his ability to hear when he fires the weapon.
 * It is carried by each of the four Hunters.
