Longbow DMR Strategy
For long distances, the Longbow is a perfect choice, as it performs much better than an Assault Rifle or SMG. It is quite easy to use, so even new players can handle it. Its rate of fire is fairly decent, although worse than the Scout’s. However, compared to the G7 Scout, the Longbow delivers almost twice more damage. With several attachments, its performance boosts significantly and makes it a deadly Sniper, especially with a Hop-Up that adds extra headshot damage.
