SVD/FC3

The SVD appears once again in Far Cry 3.
== Description ==
This weapon will become free after deactivating 3 Radio Towers, or purchased for $1100 at shop.
The SVD is a semi-automatic sniper rifle and the standard weapon of Pirate Snipers, the player can obtain for free right from the start by picking up from dead Pirate snipers.
The SVD is the starting sniper rifle that can be quickly and easily unlocked. The sniper rife favors medium-range combat. Players who prefer a high-damage, medium-range playstyle benefit from the use of this weapon since it can kill all enemies, except Heavies, with two shots to any body part.
Due to being semi-automatic, it tends to consume ammo rather quickly so larger ammo purchases are a necessity. Because of this, the SVD is the weakest weapon in the game, similar to the F1, STG-90, and the 6P9. However, unlike the latter, the SVD does not have any attachments at all and lacks a signature weapon based on the SVD. Even then, the M-700 should be equipped and modified with a silencer to increase the choices of tactical or stealth play. The SVD should not be recommended.
== Paint Jobs ==
The look of SVD could be customized with one of six available paint schemes. Each scheme costs $200 and does not affect weapon performance.

==Multiplayer==
The SVD is available in multiplayer at level 33, this time with several unlockable attachments. The SVD in both campaign and multiplayer is a good choice for someone who wants a rifle that is capable of getting two or more shots off in a quick time.
==Trivia==
* In Far Cry 3, the handbook describes that the SVD the Pirates (and by extension, Jason) use is a Chinese copy; likely meaning that it is not an actual Soviet-made SVD, but rather a Norinco NDM-86.2018 June 18, . Retrieved 2018 June 20.
**The text mentions that it can give you lead poisoning; this can be interpreted literally as the lead-based bullet many weapons use would cause it, or metaphorically as a reference to cheaply manufactured Chinese goods using lead-based paint.2018 April 30, . Retrieved 2018 June 11.
*Applying the Wood paint on the SVD makes it similar in appearance with its Far Cry 2 incarnation.
*The SVD is one of the weapons in Far Cry 3 that lacks attachments in the campaign.
*Likely for balancing reasons, the SVD in Far Cry 3 only holds 5 rounds in the magazine, as compared to the 10 rounds the weapon held in Far Cry 2 and in real life.
