QBU-88

The QBU-88 ( or Type 88) Sniper Rifle is a DMR ( Designated Marksman Rifle) deployed in small numbers by the Chinese People's Liberation Army. The Sniper Rifle was designed in the late 1980s. It features iron sights but is usually equipped with a 4x scope.

The QBU-88 appears in Battlefield 2, Battlefield: Bad Company and it's sequel Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

Battlefield 2
The QBU-88 is the standard Sniper Rifle for the PLA in the game. It's better than its MEC counterpart, the SVD, despite having lower damage, as it has higher accuracy and a more user-friendly scope view. A Type 88 will kill unarmored infantry in 3 hits, while an armored soldier may take up to 4 hits at times. A headshot will provide an instaneous kill.

Battlefield: Bad Company
The QBU-88 can be unlocked by completing a "Find-all-Five!" challenge. It was unlocked through a unique code provided if the player pre-ordered the game. A universal code was released by DICE to unlock the weapon; the code is '''your3mynextt4rget. '''

Only accessible through multiplayer, the QBU-88 is issued to the Recon kit. It is a semi-automatic sniper rifle and takes about 3-4 shots to take down a enemy through body shots, has a 10 round magazine and low recoil.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2
In singleplayer, the Type 88 Sniper must be automatically acquired in the beginning of Upriver. It can also be found with a Red Dot Sight on [level].

In multiplayer, the Type 88 Sniper is the second sniper rifle issued to the Recon requiring 1300 points. It is semi-automatic and has a relatively higher rate of fire than bolt-action sniper rifles, but is balanced by the fact that it is less accurate, higher recoil and deals less damage (headshots are not one hit kills and chest shots require a few hits). Its characteristics mean that it is best used for medium range combat. The weapon can also be modified with a Red Dot Sight, a X4 Rifle Scope, X12 High Power Scope, and/or Spotting Scope. With the red dot sight or the 4x ACOG scope seems to mean that gravity has no effect on the bullet, so the player will only need to anticipate the target movement, and it can be effectively used like the Mark 14 or the M1 Garand.
