[YeezyGT's S16] [MW: Handling/Stability] "Long Shadow is still a decent burst Sniper, coming equipped with Rapid Hit, Triple Tap, Explosive Payload, even Field Prep interchangeably. You can't really go wrong here. Invest in Handling where possible to cut down on slow scope-in times when spec'd into damage perks."

[PvE] Total damage is increased by 15% of the weapon's bodyshot damage. For crits, the overall increase is roughly equal to 15% divided by the Crit Multiplier. [PvP] Total damage remains roughly the same but can vary by 1-2% in either direction for crits.
