Call of Duty Mobile opened the marksman rifle category with the Kilo-Bolt rifle back in 2020. However, after a considerable gap, players now have a second marksman rifle to wield in the game. Unlike sniper rifles, these weapons have a faster rate of fire and can also execute in one-shot.
Marksman rifles have better mobility and players can use iron-sights for better ADS time. The second marksman rifle in the game is the SKS. Its damage is 81 and comes with a base accuracy of 70. Players can tweak all these stats in the Gunsmith and make it a weapon more suited to their play style. We recommend a sniper scope for better accuracy.

However, the weapon camos in this shop are mostly of the Rare or Common rarity. Therefore, we would advise players to spend the Credits judiciously and wait for good content to drop.
This new content drop includes a single epic camo, UL736- Solar Wind. There is also a rare character skin, Merc 2- Lunar Tide. Further, players who do not have the Hacker perk in BR can purchase the class for free.
