Tactics
The KRR2-790 Omen gives Colonial players a means to outrange the No.2 Loughcaster in open range fire fights. Players who prefer to engage at longer ranges and have the patience to wait for their aim to settle will get the most use out of the Omen.
While it does give an edge during daytime engagements, when it is nighttime, it is not recommended since the long rifle is not meant for shorter-ranged engagements. It is recommended to switch to another weapon when fighting at night.
Trivia
- The Omen is visually similar to the KRR3-792 Auger, possessing a similar bolt and magazine and suggesting a shared development history. Strangely, the Omen appears to have a longer barrel than the Auger despite the Auger having superior range.
- The rifle seems to be based on the early patterns of Lee-Enfield "Long Lee" British service rifle or possibly its predecessor, the Lee-Metford Rifle.
