Source review — 10 November 2026: This is an original-game loadout from the dated guide below. Accessible source pages confirm the listed weapon attachment names. Perks and equipment retain their original dated attribution; the source review does not imply hands-on testing or a fresh balance-patch analysis.
The Dragunov is the first sniper rifle you get, a semi-automatic with the largest magazine of the four on hXc Hector's list. Keep its default scope and use Extended Mag. This applies to the original 2010 game as hXc documents it. gamer.org's July 2026 tier list puts all snipers in D-tier on PS4 and PS5, blaming launch problems with that version.
Best Dragunov loadout
No major guide publishes a build for this gun, so this is our suggested setup from its available attachments. hXc Hector alone lists gun-level attachments (page timestamp 14 July 2022), with Video Games Blogger's 18 November 2010 guide confirming the sniper list as a class.
| Slot | Pick | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Attachment | Extended Mag | 15 rounds per magazine instead of 10, with no extra total ammo |
| Tier 2 perk | Scout | Doubles hold-breath time from 4.5 to 9 seconds |
Why this build works
hXc lists 70 damage per bullet, doubled to the head and multiplied 1.5x to the chest, so he describes one-shot kills from those hits. Snipers have no drop in power over distance. Avoid the Suppressor: it cuts damage to 50, which he says on all four rifles. The default Sniper Scope has noticeable sway, so Scout's longer breath hold is directly useful. Sleight of Hand Pro does not help here, because his perk page excludes sniper rifles from its faster aiming.
How to play it
Long range only: that is what hXc says snipers are for. Aim for the head and chest, since his multipliers do not extend one-shot kills to the stomach or limbs on this gun. A 235 RPM rate gives you follow-up shots if you miss.
Unlock notes
Available at level 3 with no purchase price listed. The Extended Mag costs C1000 and Scout C2000, per hXc Hector.
