The V Nagant Engrave is a bolt-action sniper rifle used by snipers, and was available as the collection bonus in the sixth installment of the Mega Capsules, claimed when every other weapon in the season had been bought. It is an upgraded model and custom variant of the Mosin-Nagant, featuring a metallic silver exterior with a blinking scope and glowing orange lights.
Overview
Being a enhanced variant of the Mosin-Nagant, the V Nagant Engrave also boasts a fast scope-in and draw speed, coupled with both high damage and range. Despite this weapon's competitive overall speed, being a bolt-action sniper rifle, you are still advised to quick-switch when possible in order to minimize the delay between successive shots. Since this weapon is able to rapidly fire, engaging groups of targets is shown to be easier; proving suitability for smaller maps, rushing and flanking.
The V Nagant Engrave does not have a second level of scope magnification available, meaning that it isn't particularly designed for efficiency at longer ranges, but the magnification provided nevertheless makes locating targets comfortable at the majority of distances. The single scope phase and fast scope-out speed also enables heightened mobility – this tactical advantage allows you to push harder than normal when using a sniper rifle, and means that you can recover faster after shooting.
The V Nagant Engrave rarely tags due to its high damage and range, however you may still experience tagging when shots land on a target's limbs; but this will most likely only occur when they are wearing higher-tiered armor at much longer distances. Armor generally does not appear to affect the damage done to the torso – shots to the upper body and neck will still secure the kill, unless the shot has first penetrated another player or surface, in which case a head-shot would be necessary to avoid tagging.
The V Nagant Engrave has quite a high accuracy when hip-firing, similar to other popular sniper rifles such as the DSR-1 and FR-F2. This means that, in close-quarter combat, no-scoping is very viable. Since tagging at point-blank range is hardly observed, when landing a shot this way, you can expect to secure the kill most of the time. Due to this weapon's high overall speed, this method of play is not usually encouraged, as more tactical plays can be made at medium and long distances.

Notable Comparisons
FR-F2
| Attack | Range | Accuracy | Control | Auto Fire | Capacity | Mobility |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 122.5 (-17.5 – 17.5) | 85.2 | 88.8 | 69.9 | 0.86 | 5 | 96.7 |
The FR-F2 is a renowned sniper rifle and is very popular due to its consistent damage and massive armor penetration. Despite having lower damage and range than the V Nagant Engrave, the FR-F2 has proven to be more useful against targets with a higher armor rating due to its penetration statistic. It is also on-par with the V Nagant Engrave in terms of its hip-firing capability, but is let down slightly by its speed – having a slower draw and scope-in speed means rushing becomes a less viable option, and leaves you faced with a bigger penalty when missing shots.
DTA SRS
| Attack | Range | Accuracy | Control | Auto Fire | Capacity | Mobility |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 117.3 (-2.3 – 7.8) | 87.5 | 91.1 | 70.0 | 1.30 | 5 | 100.0 |
The DTA SRS and the V Nagant Engrave share a similar play-style, owed mainly to their fast draw and scope-in speeds. Due to the successive reload animation of the V Nagant Engrave, the DTA SRS is able to provide a new ammo clip much faster, but has one less capacity, making both weapons perform about the same in terms of engaging multiple targets. Both of these weapons excel in sniper-only modes due their ability to recover at an increased rate. Due to the damage output of the V Nagant Engrave, you can expect to see it tag less often than the DTA SRS.
Variants
Tips
• If you intend to rush or face multiple targets, make sure you have full or high remaining ammo, as the V Nagant Engrave will reload each bullet successively, which can be slow. Quick-switching when engaging groups will help to minimize the recovery time between each shot.

• Though the V Nagant Engrave will rarely tag, aiming for the torso is ideal at long distances. Shots to the limbs usually secures a kill (depending on how much armor your opponent has), and as such, no-scoping is a viable option at close range if it becomes necessary to do so.

• Despite only having one scope phase, the V Nagant Engrave can comfortably aim at most distances, so don't be discouraged against distant targets. This weapon does however perform at its best at mid-range, where it excels against other sniper rifles due to its fast overall speed.

• The V Nagant Engrave has the same performance as the original, with the addition of 1 extra ammo. Although the statistics have not been increased, some people may prefer to use this variant as it is less common – since there is no guaranteed way to obtain it, it is much rarer.

• Like the original Mosin-Nagant, the V Nagant Engrave cannot be modified, omitting the need to pay for any extra recurring costs. In comparison to other sniper rifles of a similar tier, this weapon could be considered a cheaper option in terms of euros required to maintain it.
