The MTZ INTERCEPTOR offers an incredible balance of good range and high burst firepower which is what the marksman rifle class strives for. You do get some degree of versatility with this weapon, though you will get the best results at mid- to long-range, especially after upgrading the gun’s magazine size and improving recoil control.

Weapon Description
Chambered in 6.8, this highly modular Marksman Rifle features exceptional damage and reliability.
Tier Rating
B

The MCW 6.8’s hybrid characteristics allow it to be effective in mid-range firefights but generally loses out to its superior competition’s range and versatility in the MTZ INTERCEPTOR. Despite this, players can try to get more out of the 6.8 via attachments, especially to compensate for its drawbacks when compared to the INTERCEPTOR.
