I previously posted my hesitance to switching to a new Sniper Rifle because the SVD served me so well through my first play-through. I did buy White Lotus to try it out after all the positive feedback from this video, and tried it out. You review of this Sniper Rifle is spot on, this armament is a thing of beauty both aesthetically and in operation. The main reason I love the SVD so much compared to all the other Sniper Rifles I have tried, is it bounces back quickly into place after the kick of firing. White Lotus does this also and better. This is an outstanding Sniper Rifle, I love it. Thanks again for your informative and accurate review of this wonderful weapon.
When you said Far Cry 5 was atrocious in gameplay/ gun-play, I was shocked. Far Cry _Six_ is the abomination, I'm certain of it. Five just, _looked better,_ felt better, played better, was logical in almost every way. FCSix has graphics as bad as FC2, when viewing anything from more than 50 meters. Enemies _don't even render/ spawn,_ until you're within 20 to 50 meters of them! In Far Cry 5, I can get sniper shots well over 200 meters. In 6, I have to get within SMG range of a base, just to spawn the enemies! And then what(?), am I supposed to back-pedal 150 meters to get a long-range shot(?); but the enemies just de-spawn if I do that. FC6 is very immersion breaking: having such ridiculously limited ammo, while simultaneously carrying every gun in the game at once- _What_ were they _thinking!?_ No more throwing rocks? No more perks? No more sidearm m79 for the buzzer? Anti-Air guns with 1, or zero, or 2 guards on the hardest difficulty? The list goes on and on. Why does the gun of a killed enemy magically disappear? Oh, but the hostage I just untied can reach down to the dead soldado, and magically pick up the disappeared gun. This is incredibly stupid. A rebellion fighting a Nation's military would obviously scavenge every last weapon from killed soldiers. Like, I can take _their tank(?),_ but I can't take their gun? If they wanted to make sure we don't get the best guns too early, _there's already a way to do that!_ In FC4, for example, the enemy soldiers gradually get better weapons as the story progresses. What was wrong with doing it like that? Another thing that really ruined the game for awhile for me, was input sensitivity. The takedown right-stick-click (xbox) was so sensitive, I couldn't trigger a takedown until I was dozens of hours in, and by then I had revamped my v entire play style. I'm an absolute _Pro_ at stealth, where I only use rocks and takedowns on entire bases- in FC 4, 5, and New Dawn. But I don't do that in FC6, because they ruined it. The right stick has to be clicked at the exact speed and duration, down to the milisecond. There are actually a couple of good ideas from FC6, that could've made an _absolutely Awesome_ game, had these ideas simply been applied to the existing FC5 gameplay format, for example: • being able to walk/run Up _extremely steep_ inclines • being able to combat-slide _all the way_ down a hill. • Horses (horses in Montana would've been awesome) There are also a few ideas that _could've_ been good, but they ended up pretty bad: • trying to make the gun-handling more realistic: okay, decent idea, but with extreme recoil, a foregrip attachment should be available, as well as a 2-point sling (this sling is what I used in the Army, to wrap around my elbow, and then pry against it, so my M-4 would be smashing against my shoulder, keeping it _very steady.)_ • Bandidos: okay... could've been cool if we actually _went_ on the missions with a band of bandidos, instead of just reading and clicking. • Special Operations: good basic concept, but New Dawn did a slightly better job with it. Combining this concept with the story-types of bandidos would be much better. I hope the Far Cry 5 development team gets back together to make Far Cry 8 (7 is already ruined with a timer).
Thanks for creating and sharing this video. So far I haven't found any Sniper Rifle I prefer more than my SVD, but I bought this today and am going to try it out. I keep going back to the same weapon loadout, because it works for me so well. RMS-18, SSGP-58, SVD, I will often swap in a rocket launcher for the SVD & a grenade launcher for the RMS-18.
For the Overclocked Sniper Mods the Best is Headshot Supremo Mk2. Headshot Supremo Mk2 Mod = 4 Headshot Kills = full Supremo Charge. Extremely useful for Special Operations if you want to Cheese with the La Varita. You can put this Mod on any Overclocked Weapon. I use MP5 or Second Echelon, GM6 Lynx Sniper Rifle (Alpha Wolf), La Varita or Zeusito for Helicopters when I have no active Supremo, White Lightning = A-99 for Sidearm. I'm waiting for the Vector and/or Diplomat (FN 5-7 Mk2) to drop at Lola and I buy the other one with Free 300 coins According to what Drops first.

@douglashanson7489 I agree about the timer thing for Far Cry 7.

I played the whole game with the autocrat, the urushi and the cabalero, no need for more...
i swear to god if this man says "however" once again
i freaking love this rifle! so unique and cool.
The Libertad Custom SVD is also a beast of a Sniper Rifle, truly a great weapon to have in game.
Agreed
How about the unique weapon EVA with the most damage?
