Model 89

Edit on GitHub

The Big Horn Armory Model 89 Carbine, known in-game as the Model 89, is a lever-action DMR utilizing the 12.7mm ammunition. It was added to the game in the v0.16.0 "A Sailor's Dream" update on February 25th, 2024. Found only in Gold Airdrops and Flint Stones, it has a slow fire rate but packs incredible damage.

Background

The Model 89 was developed by Big Horn Armory to supersede the older Model 86 and Model 92 lever actions in a modern platform. It features a wide variety of options and fires the powerful .500 S&W cartridge. As a CNC-machined rifle, all the parts are exceptionally precise, which gives into its prowess at the range.

Strategies

Using

• The Model 89 has a very distinctive barrel color, so keep it unequipped until you are ready to attack your opponent so that you suprise them.
• Make sure to conserve ammo when you can, as chances are you won't be able to find more.
• The Model 89 can play either like a sniper or a DMR. You can quickswitch it or spam it. Choose whichever style suits you better, but spamming isn't a good option when ammo reserves are low.
• Break Ammo Crates if possible to try and get more 12.7mm ammunition.
• Always reload when not fighting, as the Model 89 has a high total reload time.

Countering

• Strafe back and forth to make the Model 89 user miss. The slow rate of fire makes it harder to aim.
• Hide behind indestructible cover such as Oil Tanks or Sandbags. The 12.7mm ammo that the Model 89 uses is very rare, so you may be able to make your opponent run out of it by wasting it.

Obtaining

The Model 89 is only found in Gold Airdrops and Flint Stones.

Trivia

• The Model 89 in-game is a 18" carbine with a standard walnut stock and a matte stainless steel finish.
