The subject of this article appeared in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.


The RSASS is a semi-automatic sniper rifle that appears in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

Campaign

The RSASS appears in "Eye of the Storm", with a Hybrid Sight and suppressor. It is the only sniper rifle that has the Hybrid Sight attached, though this is applicable to single player only. It is also seen unsilenced and without Hybrid Sight during the level.

Multiplayer

The RSASS is a sniper rifle unlocked at level 44 in Multiplayer. It has the highest magazine capacity and lowest recoil among sniper rifles, making it the most user friendly weapon in this category. This, however, comes to the cost of having the lowest damage too, although this shouldn't be too problematic since the two hit kill requirement is relatively easy to achieve, since consecutive shots are more manageable with this weapon. Headshots are still one-hit kills.

The Suppressor is a good choice, since it will usually kill in two shots anyway. The Variable Scope is also good, as it adds versatility to the weapon, allowing to hit targets easily at any range.

The ACOG, on the other hand, is useful if one wants to use the RSASS up close, although the MK14 is more suited for CQB. Because the MK14 has such high damage, it may be advisable to use it over the RSASS because it also has a 20 round magazine and for the most part will kill in two-three shots. It also has a small hipfire spread, making it more capable in CQB. The RSASS, however, has higher damage at range, has a sniper scope, and provides a handy ghillie suit.

Survival Mode

The RSASS is unlocked at level 29 in Survival Mode. It costs $2000 from the Weapons Armory. It is not good past the medium troops, due to its inability to kill in two shots at that point.

Trivia

File:MW3-RSASS-7.jpg

The sights in Redemption

  • The RSASS has the Remington logo engraved on the left side of the gun, similar to the ACR and the MSR.
  • The selector switch on the RSASS is always on safe.
  • It's the only sniper rifle able to use the Hybrid Sight, although it is only seen in Singleplayer, and uses a unique model.
  • When prone with the Heartbeat Sensor attached, only the top half of the sensor is visble.
  • RSASS stands for Remington Semi-Automatic Sniper System
  • The RSASS also appears in the Special Ops mission Redemption. Curiously, the scope uses the thermal scope reticule, but does not have thermal capabilities.
