The Silver Arrow Cyber Nova Priam (SV98 Cyber Nova Priam) is a bolt-action sniper rifle used by snipers. It is an upgraded model and custom variant of the SV98, featuring completely reworked art: a grey and electric-blue metallic structure accompanied by electricity crackles, moving parts and an extended framework.
Overview
The Silver Arrow Cyber Nova Priam (SV98 Cyber Nova Priam) was modeled around the Silver Arrow variant of the SV98 and therefore also features an extremely fast scope, draw speed and bolt-action phase. This weapon's exceptional overall speed means the user does not have to rely so heavily on quick-switching, and makes quick-scoping significantly easier. Its usability is paired with a large accuracy, rate of fire and ammo clip, making it ideal for rushing the opposition and engaging with multiple targets when necessary.
Only a single scope phase is available meaning that this weapon isn't designed for larger ranges, but the magnification makes locating targets at anything up to 40 meters very comfortable. Due to the scope-out speed also being fast, the maneuverability of the the Silver Arrow Cyber Nova Priam (SV98 Cyber Nova Priam) becomes more noticeable: you will not have to quick-switch out in order to cancel the scope phase since scoping-out ends up being quicker. This tactical advantages allows users to scout a location with relative ease.
Despite having the same range as the SV98 Silver Arrow, the damage has been increased, and tagging does not regularly occur until about 20 meters on the legs, and 30 meters on the arms. In addition to this, similarly to other Mega Capsule jackpot weapons, the Silver Arrow Cyber Nova Priam (SV98 Cyber Nova Priam)'s damage also increases by 1 every time you kill a target in PVP up to a maximum of 3, and increases by 0.1 in co-op mode up to a maximum of 5, meaning that the tag rate becomes even less with each kill.
The Silver Arrow Cyber Nova Priam (SV98 Cyber Nova Priam) has one of the smallest hip-fire cross-hairs of any sniper rifle, so in close-quarter combat, no-scoping is very viable. Since tagging at point-blank range is very uncommon, you can expect to secure the kill the majority of the time when a shot is landed this way. More experienced snipers may still benefit from scoping in at close range due to the magnification not being so intense, but it should be noted that doing so will result in an increased time between shots.

• The Silver Arrow Cyber Nova Priam (SV98 Cyber Nova Priam) works best when used to engage targets at close and medium ranges: tagging may become more frequent at distances past 30 meters, but targets will rarely tag below this. The exceptionally fast single-phase scope makes sniping very comfortable at distances up to 40 meters.

• The Silver Arrow Cyber Nova Priam (SV98 Cyber Nova Priam) has one of the most accurate hip-fire cross-hairs of any other sniper rifle currently in the game, meaning that if you're forced to engage a target at a very close range, no-scoping is very viable. You're advised to crouch to maximize the accuracy, and quick-switch in case anything misses.
