[edit] In-game tactics
- The Ruger 77 is an excellent defensive rifle which can kill in two well-placed bullets, or even one perfect headshot (only in realistic mode). It however also bears heavy bullet momentum and thus needs its riflemen to mostly be still when firing, or be very adept with its erratic movement accuracy. It is a good idea to not fire as fast as possible, but rather to take a bit of time between shots to aim to make the most of a magazine, as the weapon can relatively easily be overcome by automatics.
- Keep a height advantage. 2 shots to the head can kill.
[edit] Advantages
- Powerful
- Fast projectiles
[edit] Disadvantages
- Very small 4-shot magazine
- Users are forced to slow down slightly before shooting due to MovementAcc
[edit] Use with secondary weapons
[edit] SOCOM
Combining the Ruger with a USSOCOM gives the advantage of having a powerful and fast shooting weapon at hand when you have to reload the Ruger. The secondary is especially useful when the enemy is at very low health from some Ruger shots.
[edit] Combat Knife
Riflemen will mostly try to keep opponents at a distance to best take advantage of the Ruger's long range. In maps with large spaces (such as B2b or Run), where close encounters are rare and killing often happens from a distance, the Combat Knife can literally fall short. However, when enemies does get close, which often happens in smaller maps, the Knife can come in handy.
The knife can complement the Ruger's long range with faster short-range kills. It can kill much faster than two or three Ruger shots, and it can therefore save the day in tight spaces where an enemy using a weapon more powerful at shorter ranges (e.g. SPAS-12 or HK MP5) would otherwise have the advantage. The Knife is also useful in maps such as Ctf_Voland or Ctf_Nuubia where the enemy often has a quick escape route and an instant kill is needed.
[edit] LAW
With its fast-flying rocket, the M72 LAW can actually be a nice complement to experienced riflemen in getting rid of an enemy quickly; most riflemen lay low to the ground to avoid disturbance from movement accuracy, and staying low is suitable for the one-hit-kill secondary weapon.
