The Rifle is a Handheld Ranged Weapon in Barotrauma.

Description

The Rifle is a two-handed long-range medium-size firearm. As a bolt-action weapon, it has to be reloaded after every shot which slows down the fire rate considerably, especially for characters with an inadequate Weapon Skill. However, its accuracy is pinpoint and it packs a punch, with every bullet dealing almost as much damage as a point-blank shot with a Riot Shotgun.

It can be crafted by a Security Officer with the Rifleman talent unlocked, or alternatively can be bought on Outposts with a difficulty of at least 15

Function

The Rifle is held with both hands and must be loaded with Rifle Bullets to be used. As with all weapons and tools, using it is done by holding the Right-click to take aim, then by Left-clicking to shoot/use. Despite being a bolt-action firearm, the rifle can be fired continuously until it runs out of bullets by holding .

• It has a single slot for ammunition which can contain up to 6 bullets.
• Rather uniquely, the Rifle also has a slot for a 40mm Grenade, which are used before the weapon starts using ammo from the internal magazine.
• An another unique feature of this weapon is the unskilled penalty - instead of increased spread, the reload time is increased significantly. From 2s at 40 skill and above to 5s at 0 skill.
• Like most two-handed weapons, the Rifle has a Flashlight slot. The inserted Flashlight automatically turns on whenever the weapon is drawn.
• It can be stored in the inventory, but not in Storage Containers.

Trivia

• The Rifle is actually fully automatic and has a capacity of 6 bullets, with the fire rate set very low to look like a reload between each shot.
