The Harsh Punisher is a Sniper weapon introduced in the 17.7.0 update. It is part of the Advanced Arsenal set and can be obtained at level 3 for 6$ US or from the Trader's Van.

Description[]

The weapon is a remodel of the Heavy Sniper Rifle, but with an overall purple look, but around the same performance of shooting regular and lethal bullets. It has very high, a decent fire rate, a decent capacity and low mobility.

Appearance[]

The weapon features a skin with various shades of purple. On top of the weapon exists the 8x Scoped with two laser sights that serves no purpose in the game as it is a cosmetic item. Under the handguard comes with the bipod that is purely cosmetic. On top of the hand guard in question, the handle grip is attached. At the end of the long barrel, it consists of a large purple muzzle brake.

Previously, it features an industrial gunmetal design, while retaining the black-yellow stripe design on the sides.

Performance[]

The weapon is held by both of the player's hands. When shooting, the gun will recoil backward and the player cycles the bolt handle to load the next bullet in the chamber. On the top of the gun is where the 8x Scoped sits. It's lens are colored red and it has two laser sights that serve no purpose.

The gun shoots .50 caliber bullets at a moderate rate which have instant travel time. Each magazine holds 7 bullets, and when spawning, the player is given two more magazines (total of 21).

When reloading, the player takes out the magazine, inserts another one, then cycles the bolt handle. This weapon inputs (gives) delay from output Delay weapons such as the Viking and Thunderer. It itself doesn't receive delay.
