Heavy Sniper Mk II

"Far away, yet always intimate: if you're looking for a secure foundation for that long-distance relationship, this is it."

- Weapons Workshop description.

The Vom Feuer Heavy Sniper Mk II is a weapon that appears in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Gunrunning update.

Grand Theft Auto Online
The weapon is the Mark II version of the Heavy Sniper. It seems to be strongly based on the, but with a free-floating handguard barely reminiscent of the and a straighter magazine. Given the proportions, it appears to have a CQB (short barrel) configuration.

Grand Theft Auto Online
The Heavy Sniper Mk II has better damage than the Heavy Sniper (230 instead of 216). This can be further upgraded with its unique Explosive rounds, giving it a destructive firepower against unarmored vehicles. A single shot can destroy these instantly.

Despite having the same damage multiplier against other players (x1.39) as the regular Heavy Sniper, one shot with regular ammo in the chest is still not enough to kill a high level player at full health. The thermal scope, despite having a lesser zoom level than the advanced scope, allows spotting players from further away than it would be possible to see them, increasing the effective range of the weapon without the need of guessing where enemies might be.

When applying any specialized or explosive ammo, its magazine size will be reduced to 4 rounds. Conversely, the weapon is the only sniper rifle that allows for an extended magazine, increasing it to 8 rounds.

With the heavy barrel applied, long-range damage falls to 50% of point blank damage (as for other Mk II weapons) instead of 30% for most weapons.
