MSG90 is a semi-automatic sniper rifle featured in CrossFire.

Overview[]

MSG90 (Militärische Scharfschützengewehre) is a militarized version of the PSG-1, with additional improvements like reduced weight (1 kg lighter than the regular PSG-1) and faster firing speed. The MSG90 fires 7.62x51mm NATO ammunition. It has high accuracy, and a fast firing rate (only if scoped), and is also lightweight. However, it mostly takes 2 shots to kill enemies in normal health, although hitting on the enemy's chest at a very close range might occasionally kill him in one shot.

Due to the reduced weight fact stated above, MSG90 is pretty light to be carried around, despite that it acts like a sniper rifle in-game.

Trivia[]

  • The model of the MSG90 used in CrossFire is an MSG90A1 since it uses a fully-hooded front sight.
  • Some CF versions sell this gun in the Item Shop at an expensive price above 40,000 GP, more expensive than the price of the PSG-1. In real life, MSG90 should be cheaper than its predecessor.
  • The magazine modeled for the MSG90 will always be a 10-round magazine clip as depicted from its size. However, this would look strange to other CF servers where the MSG90 only holds 5 rounds per magazine. Note that it should be a smaller one once coupled with 5-rounds.
  • In CF PH, players will receive a permanent MSG90 by completing the final Sniper Badge, despite this gun is available in the Item Shop.
  • Again, in CF Philippines. It has two versions of MSG90 the original ones can be obtained on Item Shop, it has a 10-rounds standard magazine capacity. And another one can be obtained on AI Ticket which has only 5-rounds but it has more spare magazines when boosted with a VVIP sniper rifle.
