| [ | Dang, you all droppin' like flies! ―Marksman killing multiple enemies with a single shot. 
|
] |
The Model IV is a primary weapon for the Marksman. It is a gray, sleek, futuristic railgun with team-colored lines on the barrel and main body.
The weapon deals the same amount of damage to opponents as the Sniper Rifle. However, the weapon deals 34% more damage to buildings and pierces through all targets. This comes at the cost of a 15% slower charge rate and an inability to be fired while unscoped; attempting to do so causes a "click" sound to emanate from the gun, with no ammo cost to the player. Additionally, the weapon fires tracer rounds which produce a thin, team-colored trail as they travel, potentially revealing the user's position.
Like all sniper rifles, except the Poacher's Pride, it will deal 20% less damage if hitting a target that is less than 40 or more than 150 studs away from the user.
Successfully hitting a shot that penetrated two or more enemies will play a cheering sound. This sound can be heard by everyone in the server.

Tips
- Don't mind the "cannot fire unless zoomed" downside. The stock Sniper Rifle does minimal damage without scoping in, and so this is more of a convenient feature for the Model IV.
- The Model IV fires "tracer rounds", which means the bullets you shoot will leave behind a team-colored trail, allowing your opponents to find you easily and kill you.
- After you get a kill, it is important to move to another spot. This will prevent your opponents from finding you easily.
- While your shots can hit multiple opponents at once if they're lined up perfectly, don't make it your goal to do so.
- You'll spend more time trying to line up shots than actually shooting, or even worse getting distracted and dying to an opponent who snuck up on you.
- Two players directly in front or behind each other is very rare. It's best to leave a penetration shot up to luck rather than to do it on purpose.
- The most likely pair of classes you'll get a double-kill on with a penetration shot is a Doctor pocketing a Brute, so keep an eye out for those two.
- The Model IV is a very deadly weapon against enemy Mechanics. This weapon has a damage bonus against his buildings, which can easily destroy them in at least two shots.
- The Model IV's shots penetrate through buildings too. This is highly effective against Mechanics who often hide behind their buildings (most likely their Sentry Gun) for self-protection.
- All Mechanics will actively fend off Annihilators and Agents. However, as every single scoped Rifle has the exact same laser pointer, this means a Mechanic will not know what rifle you have equipped and will have very little in the way of effective counterplay, use this to your advantage to further put the enemy Mechanic on edge.
- Be sure to work on your self-defense. Should an enemy locate you by looking at your tracer rounds or laser pointer, you will need to prepare for close range matchups. Use the MAC-10 or the stock Machete.
