M-24

The Remington M24A2 is an bolt-action centerfire long rifle featured in The Last Stand: Union City and The Last Stand: Dead Zone.

Description
The M24 Sniper Weapon System (SWS) is the military and police version of the Remington 700 rifle, The M24 can hit targets accurately at distances of up to 875 yards. The A2 variant features a 10-round magazine designed to fire the .300 Winchester Magnum cartridge. It features a 24 inch barrel that can be fit with a suppressor. Further it has a Steel Bolt, an aluminium receiver and mounting block with a composite stock.

A powerful sniper rifle, it was pending replacement when the outbreak struck.

Tactics
With an extremely long range and excellent damage, the M-24 is adept in both raiding and compound defense, being able to pick off enemies from a safe distance and counter hostile snipers.

However, its slow attack speed, long minimum range and high move speed penalty make it a good deal less useful in missions, where enemies are far more numerous. Its high ammo cost also makes it impractical to bring one, especially given its inefficiency against large groups.

Grouping its wielder with other survivors will help to counteract its weaknesses. In addition, its accuracy is somewhat low for a rifle, so handing it to a survivor that has a high Ranged combat skill and/or specializes in long rifles is recommended.
