Ssg-08

ssg-08 is a ranged item in item asylum. It is a Steyr SSG 08 bolt-action sniper rifle.
==Functionality==
Using ssg-08 causes the user to fire a hitscan bullet towards their cursor. Each shot deals 45 damage to the body, or 72 on a headshot. The sniper has a 7 round magazine with a 3 second reload time. Because it is a bolt action sniper rifle, the ssg-08 must be cycled after each shot, which takes about a second.

Earning 10 kills with the ssg-08 grants the upgrader item s1mple private training lessons. Using the item will replace ssg-08 with awp, consuming the item in the process.
==Tips== 
*More experienced players will quickly become the center of attention due to the possibility of the awp upgrade and becoming more powerful.
**If anyone appears particularly aggressive, make sure to take care of them in particular. The ssg-08 is relatively hidden amongst the chaos of a round in stark contrast to the awp, so there should be no problem with keeping a low profile while dealing with attackers.
**Picking off other players will raise awareness about the possession of an ssg-08.
***Try picking off players on low hp and immediately hiding the ssg-08 or switching to another weapon.
****This proves especially believable if one has obtained another ranged item through fortnite card or borrow.
***Be wary of players who may still try to take revenge regardless.
***This strategy will most likely not work upon the acquisition of awp.
*In ZS, make sure to steal zombie kills or allow an ssg-08 user to get kills. The awp guarantees a one-shot kill on every zombie, with the exception of the Tank and Riot.
==Trivia==
*The ssg-08 is featured in the Counter-Strike series of first-person shooters.
*The name of the upgrader item is a reference to Sasha "s1mple" Kostyliev, a Ukrainian Counter-Strike: Global Offensive e-sports player. They are Team NAVI's dedicated AWPer, a player whose sole purpose is to snipe using the AWP. He is considered one of the greatest CS:GO players of all time due to his skills.
*The ssg-08 has the most kills required to upgrade it being 10 kills.
