SKS description
The SKS is a Carbine/DMR type weapon in BATTLEGROUNDS. The SKS (Samozaryadny Karabin sistemy Simonova) is a designated marksman rifle, being a middle ground between a typical assault rifle and a sniper rifle. Thus, this rifle excels in medium-range combat and packs devastating stopping power if a user can handle this gun effectively in CQC (close-quarter combat), but will be less effective in long- to extreme-combat as it lacks the precision of dedicated sniper rifles. Players who wish to use a weapon with high damage, rate of fire and long range effectiveness should look for the SKS, as it is one of the few weapons with such properties.This gun also has the benefit of accepting the most attachments out of all the sniper rifles.SKS related weapons
QuickDraw Mag (DMR, SR) The QuickDraw Mag for DMR and SR is a magazine type attachment in BATTLEGROUNDS.This attachment reduces the time it takes to reload the weapon it is attached to by 30%, cutting the downtime between attacks.
Canted sight The Canted sight is a sight type attachment in BATTLEGROUNDS.
Light Grip (AR, SMG, DMR) Light Grip is a grip type attachment in BATTLEGROUNDS. The lightweight grip is the only grip to not affect the vertical or horizontal recoil multipliers directly, instead decreasing the recoil animation and sway of a weapon. It is thus suited to weapons that have a strong recoil animation but low camera recoil, such as the G36C, or single shot weapons like the SKS.
Flash Hider for Snipers The Flash Hider for Snipers is a muzzle type attachment in BATTLEGROUNDS.The flash hider does not completely eliminate muzzle flash, but does significantly reduce it with the added benefit of slight vertical and horizontal recoil reduction. This attachment is useful for visual concealment, making it harder for victims to locate the shooter via muzzle flash at long distances, particularly in rainy or foggy conditions. The flash hider can prove to be of great benefit to sniper rifles given their long effective range, providing some modicum of concealment when a suppressor isn't available.
4x ACOG Scope The 4x ACOG Scope is a sight type attachment in BATTLEGROUNDS.The ACOG scope allows for the user to engage targets at medium to long ranges. With a built in rangefinder, and its 4x zoom, the ACOG scope is one of the most useful attachments a player can come across, as such it is highly recommended to take it, even if you do not have a weapon that can accept it.
Compensator for Snipers The Compensator for Snipers is a muzzle type attachment in BATTLEGROUNDS.Compensators are attachments with baffles that redirect muzzle gas in an effort to combat recoil or drift. It does this by redirecting the gases in the opposing direction of weapon drift and recoil so that the gas counteracts the action of the weapon. This rare attachment, while of great benefit to DMRs, is of questionable use on the bolt-action rifles, given that the time between shots is sufficient enough for the shooter to readjust aim, but since there are no negative effects there is no net loss to attaching one while looking for other attachments.
Cheek Pad for DMR and Sniper Rifle The Cheek Pad for DMR and Sniper Rifle is a stock type attachment in BATTLEGROUNDS.The Cheek Pad decreases vertical recoil by 20% and first shot recovery time. Decreases vertical recoil by 20% and weapon sway by 15% while also reducing the strength of the recoil animation by 20%.
2x Aimpoint Scope The 2x Aimpoint Scope is a sight type attachment in BATTLEGROUNDS.
