- Weapon Profile: Sniper Rifle - 31 October 2025
Hello. I'll be introducing weapons featured in this game on an irregular basis. First up: the sniper rifle!The sniper rifle featured in 『The Last Salvage SQUAD』 has a 5-round magazine capacity. While hip-firing is possible, its damage output is limited. To unleash its maximum power, you must properly aim through the scope and wait for the power to charge. As shown in the video, it's an overwhelmingly advantageous weapon on stages where enemies advance, but it may not be suitable for stages where close-quarters combat is expected. Choose carefully on stages where you can select your weapons!
