Switching to another weapon and then back, although not speeding up the fire rate, allows the player to get their sidearms ready early if they wish to fire at closer targets, and prevents the automatic re-scoping in that can throw off the player's field of view.Due to its cheap price, the SSG 08 is a good choice for eco rounds.Reduced standing and crouching accuracy recovery times.Movement speed in hammer units per second In the said game mode, the SSG 08 has no midair accuracy penalties and allowing to shoot the enemies in midair with reduced gravity. The SSG 08 is the one of the only weapon available in the Flying Scoutsman game mode along with the Knife.
Overall, the SSG 08 is a serviceable sniper rifle option for the team sniper in early rounds and eco rounds, usually replaced by the AWP when the economy is favorable. Due to the unusual location of the hitbox location however, this is a difficult task to achieve. However, unlike the Scout, the SSG 08 can kill unarmored targets at full health with a shot to the gut. Like its predecessor, the SSG 08 will always deliver instant headshot kills, but is unable to achieve an instant bodyshot kill unlike the AWP. It is the only weapon in the entire Counter-Strike series to be able to perfectly retain its hipfire accuracy at the peak of a jump. However, one notable aspect of the SSG 08 is that it is very accurate at the peak of a vertical jump. Moving drastically reduces accuracy, and even more so with jumping. When zoomed in and not moving, the rifle has a near-perfect accuracy, able to hit anything as long as the crosshair of the scope is on target. The player will leave the scope if they use secondary fire again at the higher zoom setting or switches weapons. Unlike other sniper rifles, the player's movement speed is not reduced while scoped in.įiring the weapon causes the player to leave the scope temporarily to operate the bolt before automatically scoping in again. The scope can be used with secondary fire, and pressing secondary fire again while scoped in zooms in the scope. When not scoped in, the rifle is inaccurate (though better than the AWP) and has no crosshair to assist aiming.
Like the Scout, the weapon is lightweight for a sniper rifle, but players will not gain a speed bonus with SSG 08 out and will have a speed of 230 units per second.Īs a sniper rifle, the weapon is equipped with a high power lens scope for long range engagement. It also has a long reload time like the AWP. It holds 10 rounds per magazine and has a very large reserve capacity at 90 rounds.īeing bolt-action, the SSG 08 has a very low rate of fire, though a little faster than the AWP. In-game, the SSG 08 is a cheap sniper rifle option available to both teams at $1700, fulfilling the same role as the Steyr Scout in previous games. The Steyr SSG 08 (German: Scharfschützengewehr 2008, English: Sniper Rifle 08) is an Austrian-made bolt-action sniper rifle.
