The LRD-3 Sniper is a weapon in Just Cause 4.

Description

It's one of two sniper rifles in the game, the other being the PBX Super-Sniper 4. The Danger Rising DLC adds the Yellowstone Auto Sniper, but the base game has only these 2. It has quite a strong resemblance to the Barret M82, especially the magazine, stock and overall shape, but the LRD-3 is smaller and the barrel is shorter. Plus, it has a small rocket launcher attached, something very unusual for a sniper rifle.

Performance

An average sniper, it deals high damage per shot, being able to kill a Black Hand grunt with a single shot and an elite with two. Secondary Fire makes the weapon lock on to a target and fire a homing missile. There is a visible grenade launcher underneath the barrel, but this missile must utilize quite advanced technology to fit and be launched out of such a tiny device. The missile's damage output is more or less equal to a grenade - high enough to kill infantry, but too low to destroy armored targets.

Locations

• Equipped by Black Hand and Army of Chaos snipers. The latter can be found with this weapon on guard towers in captured military bases and on Army of Chaos Dropzone Choppers - most of the time, they wield the inferior Zopilote Sniper Rifle.
• It can be found in weapon crates in Military bases in Solís as well as some outposts.
• Provided for Training: Wrong Side of the Tracks, Training: Chopper Run, Training: Bridge Defense, and Training: Intel Grab. Completing the last one in this list unlocks this weapon for supply drop. Note: If you have this weapon equipped when you start any of these training missions, it will disappear when you start the mission.
