Repeater HPR

The Repeater HPR is a lever-action heavy precision rifle in Marathon that fires Heavy Rounds one shot at a time, with the defining quirk of reloading a single round at a time rather than swapping a full magazine. This mechanic makes it one of the more methodical and deliberate weapons in the game, but its raw stopping power justifies the investment: at 48 damage per shot with a 2x precision multiplier and only 37 meters of effective range, the Repeater HPR is capable of one-tapping unshielded targets and two-shotting green shields in close-to-mid range brawls. Its 9-round capacity and lightning-fast 0.9-second reload per round mean experienced runners can top off between engagements quickly if they manage their timing.

At 86 RPM the Repeater HPR fires considerably slower than other precision rifles in Marathon, so every shot must count. Its 60.4% accuracy, 0.92-degree ADS spread, and low recoil of 57.8% all support careful, aimed fire over rapid follow-up shooting. The weapon rewards patient, positional runners who can set up advantageous sightlines and take deliberate shots rather than spray-and-pray gunfights. Because it uses Heavy Rounds, it pairs well with other heavy-ammo sidearms for a self-sufficient loadout. The Repeater HPR is rated B-Tier in most current rankings, reflecting its high ceiling for skilled players offset by a demanding playstyle that punishes missed shots and poor positioning more harshly than almost any other weapon in the precision rifle class.
