The M98B is a weapon featured in Battlefield 3. The weapon has moderate recoil, being the only sniper rifle in the game to fire .338 Magnum rounds. It has a rate of fire of 46 RPM with a magazine size of 5 + 1 rounds.
Singleplayer[]
The M98B is only available in Operation Guillotine after the player arrives inside the bank. It is attached with a Bipod and a Ballistic Scope, having high accuracy and damage. It is capable of killing enemies in a single shot.
Multiplayer[]
The M98B is issued to the Recon kit, available for use after reaching 146,000 Recon score. It has a slightly slower fire rate than the M40A5, but higher damage. The weapon deals a one-hit kill to anything within 15 meters or any hit to the chest while playing Hardcore. This is because the M98B's minimum damage is 59 at anything past 120 meters, and in hardcore players only have 60 health.
With a Suppressor, the M98B can kill any target in the head, this can be used to silently pick off much further targets sniping (while still retaining its one shot kill ability in hardcore), At the cost of losing its OSK range in regular mode, requiring at least two shots to kill at any range. Equipping a 3.4x, 4x or 8x scope can help increase the effective range of the weapon on maps with larger sight lines, but players using these scopes will need to account for bullet drop against targets at long ranges.
A Laser Sight can improve its hip-fire accuracy a decent amount as well. A Bipod can work for long range sniping or players who have trouble with the straight pull-bolt and can help for multiple shots at longer ranges. The Straight Pull-Bolt can be used to track targets from far away without pulling out of sights.
