The Rifle is a ranged Weapon in Pathologic 2. It shoots Rifle Ammo, and can hold up to 5 shots. It's the most accurate and longest-ranged weapon in the game, and is capable of taking down enemies from far away with a single shot if maintained in good condition. Its major drawbacks are the reload and jam animations, both of which are very slow. As with all other firearms, the Rifle's bullet accuracy increases when aimed down sights.

Occasionally, Rifles and rifle ammo can be looted from the corpses of Army soldiers, who appear throughout the town starting on Day 9. While the soldiers are not easy to dispatch in a fair fight, they can be worn down by successive bandit attacks, and otherwise backstabbed to death if alone.

The Haruspex can also obtain a Rifle in perfect condition plus a good supply of ammunition from a crate in the westernmost Army camp on Day 11, where the Changeling may also be found.

Rifles can be sold to Bad Grief and traded to Militia.

While it appears that the game files intend for the Rifle to deal 90 damage by per bodyshot and 150 damage per headshot, its actual damage is 290 & 350 respectively when fired by the Haruspex. Rifles fired by Army soldiers appear to deal the the intended damage. Each shot decreases durability by 5%. The chance of jamming is (1 - durability)².

Quote

“	An outdated model of army rifle.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.	„
