Rifle

Pathologic 2=

The Rifle is a ranged weapon which uses Rifle Ammo, holding up to five shots. It's the most accurate and long-ranged weapon in the game, capable of taking down enemies from afar with a single shot in good condition.

Its drawbacks include having to cock the bolt after every shot, making it the slowest ranged weapon in the game, its agonizingly long reload and jam time, and its rarity - it can be occasionally found on corpses of soldiers of the Army starting on Day 9, which requires either killing one of them or stumbling upon a dead soldier and having a lucky roll of the random number.

The Haruspex can also obtain a rifle in perfect condition plus a good supply of ammunition from a crate in the westernmost camp on Day 11 (where the Changeling is found). It will help in dealing with the incoming soldiers and street encounters throughout the day.

Rifle is a weapon that is available in all routes; however, rifles can only be wielded by the Bachelor and the Haruspex, but not the Changeling. Rifles may be bought from Bad Grief. They may also be obtained from Khan and the Commander. A rifle can be obtained on Day 7 from the Young Man during the task "Eva Is No More" or stolen from a train car south of the train station on Day 9 of the Bachelor's route.

On Day 9 of the Bachelor route, Khan asks of the Bachelor to retrieve 5 rifles for him and his comrades inside the The Polyhedron.

Rifles use Rifle Ammo.

"An outdated model of army rifle. Powerful, reliable, and long-ranged, it became a favorite of soldiers and craftsmen during the latest war. Is light and has a soft recoil. A useful weapon for long-range combat. Its main drawback is the slow rate of fire."
