- Costs 260 Dosh to fully replenish ammo from 0 bullets.
Perk Synergies
- The Commando's level 5 skill High Capacity Mags and level 20 skill Eat Lead gives it an additional 10, 20, or 30 (if you use both skills) bullets at the start of the round, slightly reducing the pressure to conserve bullets.
- The Commando's level 10 skill Fallback is an easy assurance of making sure the low capacity of the Varmint Rifle doesn't hinder you too much; the quick weapon swapping and the higher damage for the 9mm Pistol and Knife helps keep ZEDs at bay until you can reload the Varmint Rifle.
Strategy
A simple weapon for a simple perk. One headshot will decapitate most basic enemies - Stalkers, Crawlers, and any type of Clots. Gorefasts may take 1 or 2 before going down.
Use in semi-auto mode; with enough practice, you can fire as fast as, if not faster than, its 3-round bursts. Additionally, it saves ammo as you don't waste 2 bullets headshotting a clot. However, its small magazine size will be a hindrance in sustained firepower, so don't fire randomly into a horde of Clots hoping to take down as many as you can.
Its damage is the same as SA80 L85A2 Bullpup, so it's a choice if you want to use the Varmint Rifle and skip the L85A2 for early waves. Better sights, a higher magazine, and a faster fire rate, or a chance to save up dosh and go straight to the Kalashnikov AK-12?
