M-13 Raptor

The M-13 Raptor is a sniper rifle in Mass Effect 3.

Description
The Raptor is a human version of a turian weapon developed for conflict on the low-gravity world Amar. Fighting at longer ranges than expected, the turians optimized a low-recoil, semi-automatic rifle with a scope, and issued it to their regular infantry, creating a hybrid weapon that was half-assault rifle and half-sniper weapon. Cerberus assigns the Raptor to Nemesis snipers.

Player Notes

 * The Raptor is a semi automatic sniper rifle.


 * The Raptor has a very low damage level for its class. This makes it practically impossible to get one shot kills, which is one of the key traits of many sniper rifles, and therefore is not suited for dispatching enemies one at a time like the Mantis or M-98 Widow.


 * The rate of fire for this weapon however is far superior than other sniper rifles, giving the Raptor an edge in terms of putting shots down range. This can allow the Raptor to kill multiple enemies with suprising speed, or soften them up for more powerful weapons or team members.


 * Another admirable trait is its higher-than-average clip capacity, which allows the rifle to carry more ammunition than most sniper rifles.


 * Weight is the same as the Mantis.
