For those who dislike the original scope and have trouble with the smoke screens against Cerberus.

Nice 25% damage boost with some pretty awsome wallbanging abilites to boot (made better with Drill rounds).Д¬ombo#2: Enhanced Scope + High Velocity Barrel. Pretty standard affair for most Sniper Rifles. Once you can look past and adjust to the downsides the CSR really does become an absolute shredding machine.Д¬ombo#1: High Velocity Barrel + Piercing mod. However, the range cap isn't too bad and it really is an overblown downside of the gun IMO. Just to add insult to injury, the high power scope doesn't go too well with its range cap. The high rate of fire, along with its abysmally small clip size, using up two ammo units per shot when using sustained fire, along with its incredibly painful reload time make this gun very unappleaing for some. Recoil is also non-existant making this a very controllable weapon.ДЄs with most weapons, it also has its downsides to counter act its main strength damage. It's accuracy is also pinpoint thanks to its laser beam like characteristics. It out does the Harrier X in terms of dps at X and comes pretty close to the Particle Rifle X as well. Hope this guide helps somewhatДЄll stats are assuming the weapons is at XДЄs always stats are courtesy of Cyonan's Spreadsheet.ДЄs one can see the CSR's damage potential is pretty awesome. The Collector Sniper Rifle really is a great weapon (IMO), and I don't think it nearly deserves as much flak as it does around here.
