## Overview

The VSS is a late game integrally-suppressed select-fire marksman rifle, it is only obtainable from Helicopter Crash Sites,Contamination Zones, Military Bunkers or other survivors that have the **VSS** on them. With the benefit of being integrally suppressed and firing sub-sonic 9x39mm and 9x39mm AP cartridges, making this rifle alongside its counterpart the **SVAL** the most quiet rifles in the game. Due to the sub-sonic 9x39mm ammo, the SVAL is only audible up to 200m and there will also be no bullet crack (from the bullet going super-sonic) when you're shooting at other survivors. The rifle is best suited for ranges up to 150m, but you can extend the range when you equip the ATOG Scope. The iron-sights zeroing is fixed at 160m and are canted to the left side of the rifle, they're also quite big and it blocks quite a bit of you're peripheral view to the right when aiming. With the ability to equip all Russian Optics, it has access to the **Kobra**, **P1-87-L**, **PSO-1**/**PSO-1-1** and **1PN51 NVG** sights. With the access to the **1PN51 NVG** optic, it makes the **VSS** suitable for night time gunfights. The VSS and its counterpart can be fed using 10rd VSS Mags or the 20rd SVAL Mags, but can also be chambered by using a single 9x39mm or 9x39mm AP round. With the 20rd SVAL Mag you can be more aggressive and push survivors in CQB, making room clearing and pushing corridors far more reliable. Although this is not recommended with the 10rd VSS Mag, as you lose 10 bullets and would be more suitable for a more slower paced, long range playstyle. The **9x39mm**/**9x39mm AP** rounds that the VSS uses, are extremely hard to find and with the downside of having a slow bullet travel speed. The target leading you have to do is also higher than most other weapon in the game, the upside is that the bullets do high damage on survivors.
