RIA 50

The RIA 50 is a slow-firing, precise, heavy shot sniper rifle. It is generally used to slice through weak groups of zombies at range. It is found pretty early in the game and is easily the weakest, but most common, sniper rifle. It deals a solid 750 damage with 4 pierce, killing many, if not all, non-boss zombies early-mid game with 1-3 shots, as long as they are not Shielders or physically resistant.

The RIA 50 is a fairly common sniper rifle, being rather easy to get with many augment slots compared to other sniper rifles, and is not bad at all for early game players.

Trivia

 * It seems to be based on the SAKO TRG-42 with compensater fitted.
 * For all its faults, this weapon comes with one nifty little advantage over the other snipers, its early game availability allows the player to start the sniper masteries early, and when they find a hornet or HIKS S300, they will have already have the powerful buffs of the sniper Masteries.
