AWM-Red Frame Hawk

AWM-Red Frame Hawk is a VVIP sniper rifle variant of AWM.

Overview

The AWM features a red metal design that looks similar to Barrett M82A1-Iron Shark, along with the green light effect around the weapon; however, the light is still the same with firing. Uniquely, this weapon shares a similar HUD with AWM-A variants, like the Chroma one. It also has a unique scope texture like any VVIP Sniper Rifles. In terms of stats, this AWM variant is more or less the same with AWM-Infernal Dragon, including the drawing, reloading, and bolt-cycling speed.

Comparing to other AWM, this gun received two special effects that put it into the Anti-Mutant Weapons group - it's capable of dealing massive damage against mutants in Mutation Mode and variants, and each bullet induces a huge knockback effect that pretty much slow down mutants to walking speed. This makes the AWM-Red Frame Hawk even more effective than M82A1 and/or QBU-09 variants, since players can both snipe at long range and use the knockback effect to escape from chasing mutants.

While not technically an Anti-Zombie weapon, the AWM-Red Frame Hawk behaves like one as it has a crosshair in ZM and ultra-fast bolt cycling speed, allowing players to fire at zombies with no scope very fast. However, it doesn't deal with massive damage toward zombies so the effectiveness of this is very limited.

- The temporary variant of this weapon that can be obtained on "Return Players System" receives a full wallbang damage compared to its permanent one. Making it stand against CheyTac M200 , Kar 98K , and Barrett M82A1 variants. Presumably it's to satisfy players for coming back to the game.
