¶ Weapon Overview
The S85 is a low tier Sniper Rifle, sometimes used by Bandit AI, or found in small towns. The S85 is interesting, because despite using the 5.56x45 cartridge, which typically does 40 damage, it will do 96 damage out of the S85. Its just short of dealing that even 100 damage to 1 tap someone in the chest, but its close enough that it can happen if the enemy is slightly below full health. Out of all the weapons typically used by the Bandits, the S85 is by far the most accurate, able to hit precision shots at any range. The 5.56x45 cartridge travels extremely fast, and doesn't drop much, making it very easy to snipe with. However, the gun is extremely slow all around. Its bolt action cycles slowly, and its reload is the 2nd slowest of any magazine fed weapon in Deadside. You will have to reload often too, since this weapon only holds 4 rounds at a time. Its damage is also a bit lacking against higher tier gear, taking 2 or 3 shots to kill a fully geared enemy. If the enemy is using high tier healing items, they may even be able to heal faster than you can deal damage effectively. But, despite its downsides, the S85 makes up for it by being common and easy to use. Its very cheap, and often can be found with a hunting scope on top. One of the best ways to get this rifle with a scope, is to go on the roofs of the 6 story building in Beregovoy. Sniper Bandits spawn up there often, and they almost always have a hunting scope.
The S85 is based of the real life Sako 85 made in Finland. Its most likely the Varmint model, although its hard to tell since the version in game is very worn.
