The Bull's Eye Assault Rifle is a weapon in Just Cause 2.
Appearance[]
It's a semi-futuristic looking rifle, with a loose resemblance to the cancelled XM8 assault rifle.
Closer inspection reveals that it's an ordinary assault rifle with several strange covers of unknown purpose and a scope.
Performance[]
The Bull's Eye comes equipped with what resembles an ACOG scope. The weapon is semi-automatic. When aiming, the scope can increase (Left Shift on PC, LT on console) or decrease (Left ctrl on PC, RT on console) its zoom level.
It's range and firepower are somewhere between the Assault Rifle and the Sniper Rifle.
It's good for sniping on top of buildings in Panau City. The larger magazine means that it's more effective for sniping multiple enemies than the normal Sniper Rifle. Close combat is a problem in this respect, so it's advised to have a Submachine Gun, or something similar for a backup weapon.
The Bull's Eye Assault Rifle also uses custom ammunition, so it has to be repurchased at the Black Market when empty, greatly increasing its upkeep.
Strangely a single shot from the Bull's Eye has more power against soldiers than the standard Assault Rifle, but both rifles do the same amount of damage to vehicles.
In short, this weapon trades damage for accuracy and fire rate. This weapon is likely that of a DMR type weapon.
How to obtain[]
The weapon came free with pre-ordered copies of the game and it is available for purchase as DLC. Once the DLC pack has been installed, it can be purchased from the Black Market for $50,000. Like all DLC items, it is unlocked immediately after Casino Bust and is fully upgraded.
The DLC costs $1 USD, €1 EUR, or £0.75 GBP (when not on sale).
Trivia[]
- As a DMR, the Bulls Eye Assault Rifle could be seen as the spiritual successor to the Lance FDL from Just Cause (1).
- It's very odd that it costs less than the Assault Rifle ($55,000) on the Black Market, considering the Assault Rifle is extremely common in gameplay and can be easily obtained for free, whereas the DLC-exclusive Bulls Eye Assault Rifle can only be purchased.
- On the official DLC picture, it says "Bulls Eye Sniper Rifle" instead of "Bulls Eye Assault Rifle".
- Despite being classified as a assault rifle, in terms of functionality, this weapon is more like a battle rifle.
- Successors to this "sniper rifle" as DLC weapons include:
- In Just Cause 2 Multiplayer, the weapon's precision often lead to false hacking accusations to its users.
