Strategic Combat Analysis

A rare, bolt-action sniper rifle with 45% damage, a 2.7% fire rate, and an 8-round magazine. It is the only weapon in ARC Raiders equipped with a first-person scope. While it deals high damage, it takes a full three shots to down a light-shielded raider, making it incredibly punishing if you miss. The Osprey is also incredibly fragile, breaking entirely after just 114 shots if not upgraded and repaired. To optimize its long-range potential, equip the Extended Barrel III, which boosts bullet velocity by 30% and increases the damage fall-off distance by 15%.

🧠 Combat Intelligence

With a 6.00s close-range TTK, the Osprey outputs roughly 38 DPS. It fires at 50 RPM, dealing 45 base damage per shot. Excellent long-range damage retention. Against armored targets, TTK increases to 13.80s.

⚡ The Analytical Verdict

"🎯 **Marksman Tip**: With a massive 2.5x headshot multiplier, always aim for the head. Bodyshots heavily waste this weapon's potential."
