For those who’ve been unable to get in game and check out the new weapon, we did a quick search across Twitch and found former professional Halo player, Hysteria, using the weapon.
Unfortunately for those who come up against someone with the rifle, the streamer quickly explains that the weapon is ‘100% OP (over-powered).

While scoping in it allows Hysteria to see through trees, bushes and also structures to see where opponents are hiding.
He cleans up his opponents with the rifle in quick succession to win the game in style.
