  • How to get Achilles x-MOD2: Found across the road from the Heavy Hearts Club in Dogtown on a bunk bed behind some building materials. (Phantom Liberty)

A precision rifle with decent damage and an exceptional effective range, the Achilles X-MOD2 is something worth finding for those with an eye for discovery in Dogtown. It's an upgrade of the original M-179E Achilles, and not just because it has a golden skin. The weapon is more of a loaded sniper rifle and using Tech mods can make it more fun, but it still lacks DPS due to its charge time preventing fast movement, even though the headshot damage multiplier is a great bonus.

Boasting an already high damage multiplier to the head and a quick charge time for her shots, Widow Maker excels at becoming a precision burst rifle as her iconic modifier will give players two hits for every shot fired. While this means the ammo count is technically reduced to 5 rather than 10, it's still great for mid-range and short-range battles due to the fire rate. In addition to being a generally good burst rifle, the Widow Maker also has a 10% chance to poison an enemy, and given its ammo, that's a 20% chance per hit to poison and deal chemical damage deeper and deeper.

These explosive shots will always knock enemies down or send them flying, providing a literal gun for V's hand.
