M98B
Talk15this wiki
Added by PresidentEden78M98B, or M98 Bravo, is a bolt-action sniper rifle produced by Barrett Firearms Manufacturing, known for its M82/M107 .50 calibre anti-materiel rifle. The M98B is chambered for 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 only available in Operation Guillotine after the player arrives inside the bank. It is attached with a Bipod and has high accuracy and damage killing enemies in a single shot.
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. The M98B can also penetrate through players, so it's possible to wound multiple enemies (if not kill them) with one shot. It should be noted that headshots will always result in a one shot kill no matter what the range is.
If you are playing hardcore mode, the M98B is a 1 shot kill anywhere to the body at almost any distance, except at long ranges before the update; this is because the M98B's minimum damage is 59 at anything past 120 meters, and in hardcore players only have 60 health.
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 15 meters, 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.
