Tactical Information

  • Due to the nature of this weapon, it is more suitable for taking out lightly armored enemies from medium to long range, and rewards accuracy.
  • Compared to its heavier sibling, the R-63CS Diligence Counter Sniper, the standard Diligence fires projectiles with reduced damage and armor penetration in exchange for better ergonomics, lighter recoil, and more ammunition. These traits make the weapon more responsive in short-range combat, give it an edge against groups of light enemies, but further emphasise the need for accuracy when facing armored enemies since it can only hit and damage their lower armor weak points.
    • The Diligence can be difficult to use against the Terminids due to their numbers and increased armor and health at higher difficulties, particularly for the head.
    • The Diligence finds a niche in dispatching infantry Automatons with precise single shots at range or from cover.
      • Devastators and Berserkers can notably be killed in a single headshot, aided by the Diligence's relatively high ergonomics on par with most assault rifles.

Known Issues

  • The weapon's barrel is partially rendered while aiming in first person. This can only be seen when the weapon is sighted for 25 meters.
