Intervention

intervention is a ranged item in item asylum. It is a black Cheytac M200 Intervention sniper rifle equipped with a gray muzzle brake.
==Functionality==
Activating this item causes the user to fire intervention from the hip, sending a hitscan bullet towards the cursor with high inaccuracy. The user may also choose to scope in using [E], which will cause the user to bring the rifle up into an aiming position. Doing so will force the player into first-person view and overlay their screen with a scope reticle. Shots fired while scoped in have perfect accuracy. Bullets from the intervention have reverse damage falloff, dealing more damage the further away the user is from the target. Bullets initially do 55 damage to the body and 88 to the head, increasing to 75 to the body and 120 to the head the further away the enemy is. intervention has a 2 second bolt cycle time, and the bolt must be cycled every time intervention is fired.
intervention has a 5 round magazine and takes 4 seconds to reload.
If the user owns the "Kaiga..." badge from the Roblox game Black Magic UNLEASHED and the prevamped models gamepass, the item's firing sound is changed, in addition to gaining several sound effects: upon hitting an enemy's body, a voice line saying "enemy is hit" plays; upon hitting an enemy's head, a voice line saying "great shot" plays; and upon killing an enemy, a voice line saying "got 'em" plays. The sound effects can be disabled via the Old Weapon Models setting.
=== Quickscoping ===
Firing a shot less than 0.5 seconds after scoping in will boost intervention's damage. Bodyshot damage is increased by 85%, and headshot damage is increased by 53.125%. This means that, based on range, bodyshots deal anywhere from 101.75 to 138.75 damage, and headshots deal anywhere from 134.75 to 183.75 damage. 
Successfully landing a quickscope kill will play a random MLG Parody meme sound effect, and a random MLG Parody meme image will appear on the user's screen. These effects are completely client-sided and do not affect anyone else but the user. After a successful quickscope, the user will cycle the rifle at double the speed, allowing for more quickscopes in succession. A successful quickscope also refunds 1 bullet to the magazine, effectively making successfully quickscoped shots cost no ammo. 
Successive quickscope kills within 3 seconds of the last kill begin playing the Unreal Tournament killstreak voicelines, all the way up to "Godlike!" at 8 kills. Successfully killing 3 players with quickscope shots within the time limit awards the user the "mw2 sniper quickscope montage" badge.
==Tips==
*intervention's hipfire is incredibly inaccurate and is unlikely to land even at point blank range. Be ready to switch to a close range item or disengage from the fight.
*While hardscoping a lane is a valid option for the intervention, fishing for quickscopes tends to be more effective. Stay scoped to get the reticle exactly where you want it, unscope, then try to quickscope anyone foolish enough to push into your line of sight.
**If someone is very much a threat, then specifically going for a regular scope kill can work if they are below the HP threshold. It's better to take a good shot for a high value kill then try and go for a quickscope and have a good chance of missing.
**Hardscoping is much more subject to damage fall, If you are close enough a hardscope headshot will instantkill, but at farther distances it will only deal 80 damage. Meanwhile a quickscope will always do 100+ damage, making it more reliable for killing. 
*Because of the intervention's boosted cycle time and theoretically infinite ammunition, intervention can be one of the most powerful DPS options for a boss fight. However, do note that you are forced in first-person mode to do this, making it slightly risky. 
**Weegee's massive hitbox makes it incredibly easy to chain quickscope headshots.
**The quantity of ads and slow-moving bosses on uncertified are prime targets for constantly chaining quickscopes.
**The Beta Devs, due to their larger bodies, are easier to hit, though Port and Jean both have mobility moves that can make them hard to track.
**Both Ithor and Klevinoroto are extremely mobile bosses that are hard to hit. Klev is easier to deal with due to his arena having a prime spot for camping and landing quickshots during his long wind-up attacks.
**Intervention makes The Skeleton a joke. With the skeleton being large, its easy to get lots of quickscopes in to deal as much damage as possible.
*The effectiveness of the weapon is dependent on the user's skill, and often can outperform other ranged weapons such as awp if skilled enough.
*Items that add an accessory to your arms (such as Legion Kata or Tanto) can make it more difficult to see while scoped in, because unlike your arms they don't go invisible while scoping in. 
*Some of the Onscreen effects (Specifically the "OOOOOOH!" overlay) can make it very difficult to see. Be prepared to be essentially defenseless for a short while after every quickscope.
*On very large maps (Such as some TC maps or being extremely far out on baseplate2021) you may actually encounter the range limit on the intervention, if it looks like something should've hit but didn't you most likely are too far away.

==Trivia== 
*This weapon is a reference to MLG montage parodies, which were remix videos parodying the "video game montage" subgenre on YouTube. These videos were especially popular from 2011 to 2016 before they eventually died off.
**"Quickscoping" was a popular term used in these types of videos, in which a player using a scoped sniper rifle shoots as soon as the scope meets their eye and then immediately brings it back down again.
*This item, unlike others, was animated by Nekulul, the gun animator for the game the COOL zone.https://youtu.be/0AEvagbSB7Y?si=F472tDOEie-OEWT6
