M24

The M24 is a Sniper Rifle acquired from looting, it is found beside the Western Safezone on a cliff that overlooks the zone.

Overview The M24 Sniper Weapon System (SWS) or M24 is the military and police version of the Remington Model 700 rifle, M24 being the model name assigned by the United States Army after adoption as their standard sniper rifle in 1988. The M24 is referred to as a "weapon system" because it consists of not only a rifle, but also a detachable telescopic sight and other accessories.

The M24 SWS has the "long action" bolt version of the Remington 700 receiver but is chambered for the 7.62×51mm NATO "short action" cartridge that has an overall length of 2.750 inches (69.85 mm). The "long action" allows the rifle to be re-configured for dimensionally larger cartridges up to 3.340 inches (84.84 mm) in overall length.

The M24 SWS was to be replaced with the M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper System, a contract awarded to Knight's Armament Company. However, the Army still continued to acquire M24s from Remington until February 2010 and upgraded to the A2 and M24E1 standard in many cases, continuing to serve. The Army chose to upgrade all its M24 rifles in the arsenals to the M2010 Enhanced Sniper Rifle, with the final M24 being converted in April 2014.

In-game
The M24 is a sniper rifle acquired from looting a nearby spot beside the Western Safezone, being a sniper rifle, the M24 exchanges ammo capacity with high damage per shot and long range, compared to most rifles, the M24 is designed to take on enemies at long range, especially if they're armed, the M24 can reliably kill most enemies in a single clean headshot.

For new players, this opens up a massive opportunity for one to play it safe as the M24's range can keep enemies at bay, however once the player is at level 28, the M82 can be acquired which itself completely outclasses the M24 in practically every situation.

The M24 uses rifle ammo which is plentiful around the map as even the rifle itself spawns beside a Rifle ammo pickup. Known Bugs
