Official Astaroth .57 numbers

Activision's launch weapon sheet gives the Astaroth .57 34 RPM and a 3-round magazine with 9 reserve rounds. It unlocks at Player Level 25 and has 54 weapon levels. Among sniper rifles its fire rate ranks 3 of 3 and its magazine ranks 3 of 3. Activision describes the Astaroth .57 this way: Heavy sniper rifle firing supersonic rounds; one clean hit is meant to end the fight. Its caliber is 14.5 mm. Its Apex Attachment is the Astaroth .57 Infiltrator. Sonar and radio-wave pulses detect enemies through cover and behind walls (limited penetration). It blocks optic attachments. Magazine capacity is reduced to 1.
