In Extinction, it has eight round magazines, a far stricter firecap, and incredible per-shot damage. The MR-28 is perhaps the weapon that plays the most differently from Multiplayer. It was also in Mayday inside one of the side doors, which was later removed and replaced by the VKS. In Nightfall, it is found on a small bridge when entering the weapon facility. In Point of Contact, it is located on a rock in the field near the lookout tower with the turret.
The MR-28 appears in Extinction, in Point of Contact and Nightfall. It can meet the fancy of a lot of players with relative ease, and it is fairly easy to use. In general, the MR-28 is a solid weapon that is very versatile. Combined with the weapon's already low recoil this makes for very accurate shooting at all ranges which compensates for its lower range. Like other Marksman Rifles, the MR-28 has 15% less recoil when using the default scope. If the player will move around a lot, though, then they should choose Scavenger over Fully Loaded. Should a player be not moving around a lot, the Fully Loaded perk can prove useful, as the MR-28 goes through ammo faster than any other gun, despite the magazine's size. Sleight of Hand can be used to improve the moderate reload time it has, although this reload time is fast compared to other Marksman Rifles. The rate of fire within the burst is, in fact, comparable to most fully-automatic assault rifles, which, when combined with its 2-3 shot kill ability, can be competitive in all ranges.ĭue to the MR-28's great accuracy, Focus can be an amazing perk, as a large flinch during a long-range gunfight can be detrimental. Burst Fire is useful on this weapon due to the high rate of fire compared to other marksman rifles. The Armor-Piercing attachment can prove quite useful, should the player encounter armored enemies, and if the player chooses the Sniper Class default when making a soldier, it automatically is unlocked.
The MR-28 has the largest magazine size in its class, so Extended Mags aren't as large of a necessity, but can still be used to upgrade the size to a massive 36 rounds. However, high-powered opticals such as a Tracker Sight or a Thermal Hybrid can still be used effectively on this weapon. The iron sights are very clear on the MR-28, and thanks to the lower recoil, the sniper scope is good to use as well. The MR-28 possesses the shortest range of all the marksman rifles, which can mitigated with a Muzzle Brake. The MR-28 has the highest firecap of all of the Marksman Rifles, and as well, possesses little recoil due to the integrated Foregrip. It's automatically included in the original Sniper class, and also possesses the lowest cost of all of the Marksman Rifles, at a tiny 6 points (about the same price as a Tracker Sight, for comparison). The MR-28 is available in Multiplayer as a Marksman Rifle. The MR-28 is Logan's starting weapon in the mission " All or Nothing", equipped with an ACOG Scope.
