The Barrett M82 is a powerful Prestige 1 anti-materiel sniper rifle.

Overview

Unlocked after Prestige 1, it has extreme power comparable to the L115A3, with extra damage dealt against enemy helicopters, Reapers, and Dragonfires. This extreme damage also makes it the only sniper rifle capable of killing an enemy using the Juggernaut or Anti-Sniper perks with a single body shot.

Unfortunately, the M82 suffers in nearly every other category. The Barrett M82 is tied with the SAM-R for worst accuracy, tied with the Intervention for the lowest ammo count of merely 10 rounds provided, boasts brutal handling traits with a 4-second reload and the lowest movement speed in the game outside of a rocket launcher, and extremely high recoil that limits its fairly slow rate of fire.

Tips

• Bandolier does slightly help with ammo economy, adding 5 more rounds to shoot. Scavenger is a good choice as well, but the long-range nature of the weapon and its poor mobility limit its ability to run around the map and recover ammo packs.
• Using the Support package is highly recommended as it has Ammo Airdrop, giving 15 more rounds, as well as the chance of receiving ammo crates from the Escort Airdrop. For players who prefer to earn perks as they rack up kills, make sure to pick up one of the two perks mentioned above.
• Adding accuracy-enhancing attachments such as Deadeye and Laser is highly recommended as the M82 has questionable accuracy. Most importantly, the M82 has bonus damage against enemy Helicopters, Reapers and Dragonfires, allowing it to be used in an anti-aircraft loadout. Additionally, its high Penetration makes it possible to gain Multi-kills.

Trivia

• The M82 was added in v1.5.2.
• The M82 is the only firearm that can gib zombies.
• The Reload animation is incorrectly displayed, as the animation runs a Bolt-action animation, Which means the player will pull the bolt of the Rifle back, Reload in a new mag, and push the bolt back, While in real life the bolt of the weapon has a spring that will push it back.
• The player incorrectly holds the rifle, By putting their hand on a Static Quick detachable Carry handle that positioned down, In real life, it's for carrying purpose and can rotate.
• Some players consider this weapon shadow banned. Expect no mercy if you use this gun.
