Falcon

The Falcon is a semi-automatic marksman rifle with a long range scope.

"A semi-automatic rifle with Mil-Dot, range finding scope. Massive stopping power and long range, but only accurate when still and crouched or prone."

Gameplay details

The Falcon is equipped by pushing the Front Item or Back Item keybind, assigned to the number one key (1) and the number two key (2) respectively. Fire1, left click, will fire the weapon. Fire2, right click, will aim down sights. Reload, R, will put in a fresh magazine if there is any spare ammo.

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.
