M98B
Talk11this wiki
Added by PresidentEden78The M98B, or M98 Bravo, is a bolt-action sniper rifle produced by Barrett Firearms Manufacturing, known for their M82 and M107 .50 calibre anti-materiél rifles. The M98B is chambered in the .338 Lapua Magnum round, a cartridge that is widely regarded as a superior sniper round for its accuracy and conservation of energy over range.
The weapon was designed in 1997 to create a non-sporting rifle based on the Lapua cartridge. Originally meant to be semi-automatic, the M98 was unveiled in 1998 but was nearly canceled due to lack of interest. It was revived a few years later under the name M98B and has been produced since 2008.

SingleplayerEdit
The M98B is available in Operation Guillotine after the player arrives inside the bank. It has attached with a Bipod and has high accuracy and damage, killing enemies in a single shot, but low rate of fire due to its bolt-action operation. Players will use the bipod automatically if they go prone.
MultiplayerEdit
The M98B is unlocked after reaching 146000 Recon score and is the last bolt-action sniper rifle unlocked.
The M98B has 5+1 magazine capacity, has a slightly slower fire rate than the M40A5, but higher damage. At close range the M98B deals 95 damage, 15 points higher than the SV98 and the M40A5's damage of 80. The M98B fires a much faster round than the other sniper rifles resulting in less bullet drop, making it a more suitable weapon for making long distance headshots. If you are playing hardcore mode with the M98B it is without a doubt the best sniper rifle to choose for hardcore. Killing with 1 shot anywhere to the body at almost any distance, except from extremely far away, this is because the M98B's minimum damage is 59 at extreme ranges (example 700-900 meters) will do 59 damage. In hardcore the player's health is only 60 so even if you hit somebody at that range you will leave them basically dead with 1% health left, unless you score a headshot which will always result in a one shot kill no matter what the range is.
As of the recent large update, the M98B has had its damage changed and has a new chest multiplier of 1.06. This means that within its 95 damage range it will kill in one shot to the chest. It also means that in hardcore game modes, it will be able to kill in one shot to the chest at any range.
