How to Use the Semi-Auto Rifle
Effective against low-health enemies
The Semi-Auto Rifle is a weapon with moderate accuracy and power, making it effective against human enemies, Runners, and Clickers. However, it may lack damage against tougher enemies like Shamblers, so use other high-damage weapons instead.
Use when detected by enemies
Since the Semi-Auto Rifle cannot be equipped with a silencer, it is not suitable to use while in stealth. Therefore, it is best to use it only when detected by enemies and engaged in combat.
Recommended Upgrades
Stability Upgrade
The Semi-Auto Rifle is already strong enough by default, but upgrade its stability to make headshots easier and conserve ammo.
4x Scope is Good for Precise Aim
For those who struggle with shooting or want to aim from long distances, attaching a 4x scope is a good option. However, if you can aim for the head with the regular sights, a scope is not necessary so focus on other upgrades or weapons.
