About the Kar98K
The Kar98K is the sniper rifle most players learn on. It fires one shot at a time and loads round by round, but a headshot will take out any player wearing a Level 2 helmet or lower.
Its damage (75 out of 100) and accuracy make it deadly at range. Its slow reload is where a bullet loop helps.
Where to find it
Common floor loot on every classic map — you will find it in houses and compounds almost anywhere.
