Special Weapon Effects

For the Motherland. – Extremely high reload speed, high fire rate.

Usage & Description

The Surkov is a Sniper Rifle hybrid between a Pump-Action and Semi-Automatic; like Pump-Action Sniper Rifles, its ordnance has high Critical Hit damage, but it also has a relatively high fire rate, and fast reload. Unfortunately, the Surkov has exceptionally mediocre accuracy for a Sniper Rifle. Because of these traits, the Surkov is best used as a "Combat" Sniper Rifle, and used at medium to close range.

Trivia

• The name is a reference to Mikhail Ilyich Surkov, allegedly a World War 2 Red Army sniper who was said to have over 700 confirmed kills.
• The red text is a reference to Russia, which was nicknamed "The Motherland" during World War 2 just after the German mass invasion "Operation Barbarossa". The phrase "For the Motherland" (Russian: "Za Rodinu") was a common war cry amongst Soviet soldiers during World War 2.

Mechanics

The Surkov effect comes from the barrel2_Vladof_Surkov barrel, which is based on barrel2, the least accurate barrel available for Sniper Rifles. It provides much better Reload Speed and Fire Rate, as well as generally better stats.
