¶ Weapon Overview
The VSD is an excellent high tier DMR, the only weapon of its class currently in game. No other weapon can deliver such heavy damage over long ranges as consistently and as accurately as the VSD. It does the same damage as the Mosin, however in a semi-auto platform, which heavily increases its damage potential. Its decently accurate, and has the biggest magazine of any Sniper Rifle currently available. This weapon is extremely versatile, it can easily and quickly clear out tough AI, like Heli Guards, Convoy Bosses, and Epic Mission AI, while also being able to quickly eliminate other players from a distance, before they even know you are there. However, this weapon does require a few things to be most effective. It requires you maintain distance, as with any Sniper, and it requires you to be able to hit your shots. Learning the ballistics of Deadside takes time and practice, and the 7.62x54R cartridge is very easy to learn, especially considering that its also used by both Mosins. As for maintaining distance, the VSD doesn't suffer as much as other Snipers at close range due to it being a semi-auto DMR, however its still a long, slow firing weapon that can sometimes take multiple hard to land hits to drop an armored target. So, as long as you have a close quarters weapon, or a teammate with one, you will be able to use this rifle to great effect. That is if you can either manage to find one, or pay the hefty price tag that comes with high tier weapons.
There are 4 static spawns in the world, that you can rarely find a VSD sitting there waiting for a lucky player to grab. 2 of these spawns are in the Khimmash area, one in the big tower, on some wooden scaffolding, and another on top of the central building, right on the roof above a long set of metal stairs and a concrete ramp. You can sometimes find a VSD on the very top of the South West Lighthouse, as well as the roof of a 6 story building in Beregovoy, on top of a balcony roof.
The VSD is based on the real life SVD, commonly called the “Dragunov”, which is the name of the weapons designer.
This weapon can only be purchased from a Roaming Trader. They can spawn in a Heli Crash, Cargo Drop, Bunker Crate, or the reward in a Medium, Hard, or Epic Mission.
This weapon is repaired with a Tier 2 Sniper Repair Kit
