Brief Description[]
A Long range Semi-automatic Special weapon, capable of penetrating up to six enemies at once. Acts as a rifle counterpart to the HEL Gun. Sports a five-round magazine and a (relatively) slow firerate and reload.
Weapon description and roles[]
The weapon functions similarly as a general purpose rifle, due to the fact that it can handle most enemies well, it is capable of killing:
- Strikers, Shooters and Chargers in 1 shot
- Large Strikers in 4 shots
- Hybrids and Large Shooters in 1 magazine
- Nightmare Strikers and Nightmare Shooters in 1 shot to the weakspot
- Scouts, Shadow Scouts in 1 shot to the head
- Charger Scouts in 1 shot to the back
All of these above are before factoring its penetrative capabilities, which further bolster this weapon's capability in handling greater amount of enemies.
Keep in mind its reload duration is relatively long, use long sight-lines when possible to compensate this drawback.
Comparing to other weapons[]
Comparison to HEL Gun[]
Both weapons serves similar functions (being general purpose and featuring piercing properties). However, when clearing lesser enemies, the HEL Gun will reward more on accuracy.
This is mainly due to the fact that the HEL Gun is capable of killing lesser enemies in one headshot while offering a greater ammo pool. However, this will turn into 2 shots if they don't land. Which means that you may find the HEL Rifle a better company if you don't have a pinpoint accuracy.
In addition, the HEL Gun features a longer charge-up time (0.2s against 0.12s with HEL Rifle), and is less capable of killing larger enemies due to its lower damage per shot and magazine. This can be somewhat compensated by its quicker fire-rate.
Comparison to Sniper Rifle[]
Although similar to the Sniper Rifle in appearance, the two rifles play distinctive roles:
The Sniper Rifle is a highly specialized weapon against greater enemies with larger health pools, and its ammo efficiency is completely abysmal against lesser enemies.
On the other hand, the HEL Rifle trades such efficiency into versatility, offering more ammo and greater magazine capacity to clear off smaller enemies, not to mention it features penetration properties, which makes it capable of damaging several enemies with a single trigger pull, offering far greater potential in clearing lesser enemies.
To summarize, the Sniper Rifle is better off at killing high value targets, such as Big Strikers or the tank. Whereas the HEL Rifle serves similarly as a general-purpose rifle, great at dealing with most threats not limited to greater enemies while offering more ammo in the meantime.
Although the Sniper Rifle is generally considered more efficient in killing greater enemies in terms of ammo efficiency and time. With clever position and map knowledge, the HEL rifle can be far greater in ammo efficiency when it is allowed to pierce multiple greater enemies at once. For example: Clearing Zone 532 in R5E1; where there are numerous Big Strikers in a long corridor.
The Sniper Rifle may be the better weapon to kill Kraken, as it has an exceedingly high health pool and is far away in all encounters.
Patches[]
The following describes the version history of the weapon:
- Rundown 3: Debut and added into the game
- Rundown 4: Removed from the game
- Rundown 5: Re-added into the game
- Rundown 7. : Removed from the game
- ALT Rundown 3: Re-added into the game permanently
Trivia[]
- Light Gas Guns do exist in real life. However, current technologies do not allow it to be used in small caliber firearms.
- The projectiles of Light Gas Guns can achieve up to 20,000 miles per hour, which is likely why HEL guns in GTFO have penetration properties.
