R-63CS Diligence Counter Sniper

"A modified Diligence rifle offering increased damage, but a reduced rate of fire. Fires a single bullet at a time"

- Armory Description

The R-63CS Diligence Counter Sniper is the modified version of the R-63 Diligence featuring a higher damage output in exchange for reduced ammo capacity and greater recoil. It also features an longer-range scope allowing for further engagements.

It is unlocked upon reaching the seventh page of the standard war bonds.

Role:
Most of the advice for using the R-63CS carries over from the R-63. It is recommended divers carry a decent sidearm for close quarters fighting and they go against enemies who fight at range. The upgraded scope allows the marksman to engage at further ranges with the higher damage output reducing the total shots needed to take down an enemy. It is highly encouraged to prioritize enemies attempting to call in reinforcements, as a single shot to these enemies can save a lot of stress in more difficult missions.

Another major difference NOT listed on the stats between the R-63 and R-63CS is the "drag" of the scope. The R-63CS, much like the Anti-Materiel Rifle, has scope "drag," where moving your scope around quickly requires you to wait a brief moment before the scope is actually aligned with your target. The R-63's "drag" is almost nonexistent and allows for quick consecutive shots from target to target, but with the RC-63CS this is much harder to pull off.

A recommended loadout is to carry an explosive anti-vehicle weapon, like the GR-8 Recoilless Rifle or the FAF-14 Spear. This is due to the fact that the marksman will be far enough away to safely reload the weapon solo and it allows them to reliably support squad mates further up.
