The first type is sidearms, which encompass a variety of different types of pistols as well as the odd shotgun or machine pistol. Your secondary weapon slot is reserved for two types of weapons. Each of these guns is effective from afar, with the M1A being the fastest to fire, the Phoenix 350L being right in the middle in terms of damage, handling, and mobility, and the Barret M95 being one of the most powerful guns in the game but also has one of the slowest reload animations and fire rates. The other two rifles - the Phoenix 350L and the Barret M95 - are bolt-action, which means they need to be reloaded after each shot. The sniper rifle with the best fire rate is the M1A, which is semi-automatic. If you increase your bullet penetration stat, then one bullet may be enough to take out a few Ridden at once.

Attaching a laser sight may make it slightly easier to free-aim a sniper rifle and shoot at incoming enemies. These guns may be awkward to use at close range as they tend to have very low fire rates in exchange for their high damage output and accuracy. They're great for medium to long-range encounters, and they can make short work of Special Ridden like Tallboys or Reekers. A sniper rifle is a good option if you're trying to avoid getting up close and personal with the Ridden.
