The street is clear, with nothing but naked asphalt and concrete buildings around. But I know. The highlight of yellow shows me their scheming positions.
I raise the rifle to my shoulder and brace myself. One breath, two breaths, and a click.

Then the recoil. I flinch back for a moment.
But only for a moment, for I have to repeat those same actions, each one taking a huge chunk of my stamina. And by the end I'm left panting, leaning against the wall as the corpses fell around me.
Like rain drops on a dreary morning, they fell to the ground. And like those rain drops they were forgotten the moment they fell, splashing into puddles of their own blood.
My sub-skill. The one that made me the most valuable around here. Just because I was able to let my rounds pierce through things it shouldn't - inch thick steel for example - doesn't mean that others could.
