HIKS S300

The HIKS S300, (also nicknamed the "Necro Snuffer") is a sniper rifle that does more than twice the damage of any other sniper rifle. This is because of its high initial damage (2000) combined with an extremely high damage over time (1000/3 seconds) component. This sniper rifle is extremely good for any boss other than a Wicker. Fiery skinned zombies won't pose too much of a threat as they will still take 750 damage. This is one of the rarest and most powerful weapons in game. Do note that the S300 only has two pierce, compared to the high pierce of other sniper rifles.

The ammo of the S300 is moderately expensive at $320 for 60 rounds, or in the case of a one, considerably expensive at $3200 for 60 rounds. The ammo of the HIKS S300 is different from that used by the RIA 50 and the Hornet, costing twice as much.

Using high-damage ammo is extremely effective, making it one of the most damage-per-shot weapons in the game (not including augments), dealing 4000 total damage per shot. Using the Field Supplies Skill will conveniently provide premium ammo at no cost. Due to the HIKS S300's relatively low clip size, getting the Capacity augment or more points into the Field Supplies Skill is a must if the free high-damage ammo supply is to be sustained.

Recommended anti-boss augments for this gun are: Deadly, to add to the already impressive damage for faster boss kills, Capacity for more ammo in the clip, as well as assisting in gathering more ammo from field supplies, (this is even more cost effective for variants), and Tenacious, as it will make the S300 deal more damage over time to bosses, making kills easier, and allowing for more time for running from fast bosses like Necrosis, Devastators, and Loaderbots, while doing a large amount of damage. The only other useful upgrades are Adaptive, as it will deal more damage to fire resistant targets like Wickers and Red Necro Spawns, and Pinpoint, dealing more damage to all targets on critical hits. Piercing is a completely worthless upgrade if the S300 is used mainly as a bossing/strong zombie killing weapon, especially since the mastery can add 1 pierce. Overclocked would be a very useful augment, as the full OC 8 RPS is not that difficult to achieve by clicking, but unfortunately, it cannot be added: The S300 must be obtained with Overclocked already augmented.

The HIKS S300 is very well received by all players for its sheer power and boss killing capabilities. It is able to dispatch weaker bosses with little effort and can even take down the despised Necrosis without significant difficulty. Thus the "Necro Snuffer" has a well-deserved nickname.

Trivia

 * Most players refer the HIKS S300 as "HIKS", due to it being the only playable weapon made by HIKS before the release of a certain plasma cannon.
 * This weapon bears a resemblance to the real WA2000 sniper rifle, in that they are both semi-auto bullpup sniper rifles. However, WA2000 has much weaker calibers (.603 HIKS for the S300, .300 Magnum for the WA200).
 * The regular HIKS S300 appears from around levels 18 to 28, and is particularly rare among weapons, though it is highly likely that a player will find at least one in this level span. ones are not known to appear until the later levels (which technically cannot be definitively designated), which are most likely past level 55.
