CTH-Vanquisher

The **CTH-Vanquisher**, known by its formal designation **VANQU1SHER**, stands as a formidable testament to CTH Armaments' precision engineering and is a favored sniper rifle among elite operatives in both OCTO and NONA. This long-range precision instrument is designed to eliminate targets with unwavering accuracy while maintaining robust durability, making it a weapon of choice for those who demand the very best in covert operations.

The only flaw: This shit's so fucking heavy, even for a .338 caliber rifle. This makes it a deadly but cumbersome precision tool.

## Design

The CTH-Vanquisher sports a straight-line design reminiscent of the Earth-based Barrett MRAD. This design choice optimizes the rifle's ergonomics, ensuring that operators can maintain superior control and precision during extended engagements. The straight-line configuration minimizes muzzle rise and recoil, enabling rapid follow-up shots when necessary in spite of being a bolt action.

The upper and lower receivers of the CTH-Vanquisher are crafted from the coveted Hytherion alloy, a superalloy renowned for its exceptional durability and resilience. While the alloy imparts extraordinary strength to the rifle, it does contribute to a noticeable increase in weight. This robust construction ensures that the rifle can endure the harshest conditions and continue delivering pinpoint accuracy in any environment.

The CTH-Vanquisher employs a bolt action mechanism, a choice that reflects CTH Armaments' commitment to precision and reliability. This mechanism allows the operator to manually cycle the action, ensuring the utmost control over each shot and minimizing the potential for mechanical failure.

The CTH-Vanquisher is equally at home in the arsenals of both OCTO and NONA, making it a highly versatile sniper rifle. Its precision, reliability, and adaptability have earned it a place of honor among elite operatives in both organizations, further cementing its reputation as a sniper's bane.
