=== Overview ===
 +
The [[Falcon]] is a semi-automatic sniper rifle in [[Intruder]].
  
 
It has 5 rounds when fully loaded. Maps with wind will cause long range shots to drift off course. If lying still it's possible to accurately fire all 5 shots at the maximum fire rate. Hipfire is as accurate as being scoped in but will vary slightly off to the right in the same way that the [[Shrike|Shrike's]] laser does.

== Gameplay ==
 
By default the Sniper Rifle cannot be used until it is picked up using "'''V'''". Upon pickup, you will have to go to your inventory and assign it a key binding by dragging it into the open slot you wish to use. Typically, this open slot is "'''2'''". The Sniper Rifle can be shot by using the '''Left Click''' on your mouse. Using '''Right Click''' will force the sniper rifle to aim down sights. Pressing '''Right Click''' again will make the Sniper Rifle come out of the aim down sights mode. Unlike the Pistol and SMG, the Sniper Rifle can take use of the zoom function while aiming down the sites. By holding down '''Right Click''' after toggling aim down sights mode, you can zoom in with the sniper to get a better focus in order to see the enemy. Also unlike the Pistol and SMG, a Sniper Rifle bullet is the least affected when it comes to distance and wind. Using the sniper while standing up will cause the shots to be very inaccurate. By crouching down or going prone will make sure your balance is high enough to guarantee a shot wherever your sites are aimed. The minimum balance needed for shots to be less affected by balance is about 70.

Panther‎‎ ‎ •‎ ‎ Shrike‎‎ ‎ •‎ ‎ Manta‎ ‎ •‎ ‎ Hammerhead‎‎ ‎ •‎ ‎ Falcon

Details

Overview

The Falcon is a semi-automatic sniper rifle in Intruder.

It has 5 rounds when fully loaded. Maps with wind will cause long range shots to drift off course. If lying still it's possible to accurately fire all 5 shots at the maximum fire rate. Hipfire is as accurate as being scoped in but will vary slightly off to the right in the same way that the Shrike's laser does.

The Falcon must be fired while still and crouched or while prone. Firing while below 79 balance will display a warning message and firing while below 75 balance will cause shots to miss.

Tuning

Changing the firemode via tuning will always start players off in semi-automatic mode. Pushing the firemode button will switch players to a valid firemode. The last firemode a player used will be remembered until the map changes.

The ammo that is loaded in a weapon by default is determined by the map. If a map spawns the player with more ammo loaded than the maximum magazine size as determined by tuning, then reloading will return the excess to the stack of Sniper Ammo in their inventory.

Having the held Manta drop when ragdolled will make it float in the air at the position where it was last held. Only Shields and Briefcases have physics.

Trivia

  • The Falcon is directly inspired by the Heckler & Koch PSG-1 which is a heavily modified G3 meant for police sniping.
  • In early builds the sniper used a simple 2D texture for the scope and had three levels of zoom.
  • The Falcon's model was replaced on 2021 June 24.
