Best 3 Line Loadout

Sledgehammer Games‘ 3-Line Rifle might sound like a newer weapon, but it’s been in Call of Duty games for years. Originally called the Mosin Nagant, the 3-Line Rifle is one of the heaviest bolt-action Sniper Rifles in Vanguard at launch and this means it packs a punch if you land your shots. Here are the best 3-Line Rifle loadout and class options for you to check out in Vanguard’s multiplayer.

Vanguard’s 3-Line Rifle – Sniper Rifle

For a bolt-action Sniper Rifle, the 3-Line Rifle is quite unique – this is mainly because it uses a magazine instead of feeding bullets into the chamber individually. This makes reloading a breeze in comparison to other bolt-action Sniper Rifles and undoubtedly helps with keeping you ready to fight.

It has a fantastic range, as a Sniper Rifle should, and a relatively decent rate of fire considering it is still a bolt-action operated weapon. Vanguard’s 3-Line Rifle is slow though – it’s the heaviest weapon of its type and this means you’re going to be slower to scope in and move with the 3-Line Rifle.
