Sniper Rifle CS-YippeeKiYay

The Sniper Rifle CS-YippeeKiYay is a powerful, bolt-action and realistic sniper rifle manufactured by the Civil Security. It fires a projectile which has a muzzle velocity of two times the standard speed of most ballistic weapons in the game and inflicts hefty damage on the target. It's name refers to the phrase "Yippee ki yay!" associated with the 19th-century Western United States. This weapon was added as a bonus into the game with the Version 1.17 update.

The Sniper Rifle CS-YippeeKiYay resembles the real life Dragunov sniper rifle while retaining the firing sound effect of the Barrett M82A1. The LED indicator present on the forearm shows the state of the weapon and reveals the presence of enemies. A turquoise-blue colour indicates that the weapon is ready to fire, however a blinking red colour indicates that the weapon is unloaded. Flashing green indicates that an enemy character or player is in range and line of sight of the weapon, regardless of whether the enemy is on screen or not.

Another notable component is the laser sight (added to the weapon with update Version 1.20) which may assist with aiming but could also reveal the presence of the user when the laser beam is seen by an enemy player,

Compared with the Lite Railgun v01 CS-HShot and the Heavy Railgun v04 CS-OneSOneK the Sniper Rifle CS-YippieKiYay is in between damage-wise. It's advantages are, apart from the LED indicator, that it may penetrate thin walls due to being a ballistic weapon unlike the railguns which rely on energy in order to deal damage. In addition, it is absent the singleplayer campaign, unable to be purchased and not present on any level.

Location
The Sniper Rifle CS-YippeeKiYay can be found and picked up in the campaign, but cannot be bought or upgraded in the equipment shop. The weapon is a rare sight in campaign levels, being found only on impossible difficulty, replacing Heavy Railguns and retaining their upgrade levels, other than the Heavy Railgun that Proxy can pick up in Level 30. A level 3 Sniper Rifle can be picked up and used in Level 40 when played on impossible, and added to the hero's arsenal.

Trivia

 * The laser can detect Civil Security Ghosts, even though they are invisible.


 * It resembles the SVD.


 * If carefully zoomed in on a photo of the Sniper Rifle, a small 'F' on the design is noticed.


 * The firing sound shares the same exact sound as the Barrett .50 Cal sniper rifle from Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
