The Rifle is a long-range weapon added in Patch 07 of Sons of the Forest.

Gameplay

The Rifle is a sleek bolt-action rifle fitted with a red-dot scope which cannot be removed. Although the scope does not have an enlargement feature, the high precision of the Rifle can allow players to easily injure or take out enemies from a long distance, such as dangerous Mutants. However, the low capacity combined with the very slow rate of fire makes this weapon a less than ideal choice in a situation of heated direct combat. A Shotgun loaded with Slug Ammo will deal equal damage to targets at medium range, with Slug rounds being additionally more common than Rifle rounds.
