- "The M82A1 is a recoil-operated, semi-automatic scoped sniper rifle. The effective range of this weapon is 7,450 yards. No other weapon in the game matches its damage, accuracy, and range. This is not a run-and-gun weapon so make sure to have a decent mid-range weapon with you for protection as well."

The M82A1 is a sniper rifle in Max Payne 3.
Overview[]
The M82A1 is first seen in Chapter 3, where it is seen being used by Cracha Preto, who disrupt the deal at the stadium. Later, Max uses this weapon to cover Passos in the same mission.
It later appears in Chapter 12, where Max uses it to dispose of a few enemy snipers in a opposite building. In this mission, Max is able to carry it through the mission. It may come in handy when trying to kill the final enemy with the LMG .30. In the campaign, this sniper is able to kill with 1 or 2 shots, depending on the armor of the target.
The weapon carries an unusable folding bipod undet the handguard.

Behind the scenes[]
- The sniper rifle was seen in the Design and Technology Series: Creating a Cutting Edge Action-Shooter trailer
- Game files indicate that the M82A1 would have been able to equip the Compensator and Extended Magazine attachments at levels 2 and 3 respectively, but this was cut for unknown reasons.
- The M82A1 better resembles the Barrett M107; a variant of the M82 rifle.
- While Max only receives a flesh wound after getting shot in the arm by an M82A1-wielding Cracha Preto merc in Chapter 3, in reality, a shot from such a rifle (either a .50 BMG or .416 Barrett as the M82 series of rifles are available in both cartridges) would very likely dismember a target's limb.
