First Acquired: First Playthrough - Nottingham 'Conduits'
Other Info: Online Mode
The L23 Fareye is the British Army's custom made sniper rifle and it is
the weapon of choice for Lieutenant Cartwright, a
British Commando. It is also used (very badly) by some British troops on the Nottingham 'Conduits' level.
With a good solid headshot, the Fareye can take down most Chimeran adversaries,
and even the Steelhead will go down in one shot. On the later difficulties
achieving headshots on such foes can make life a lot easier. Also, in the offline mode, not using the scope won't result in an accuracy penalty as the bullets go
exactly where the crosshair says.
The secondary fire also makes life a lot easier as it slows down time, allowing you to line up the perfect headshot on oncoming foes. It isn't finite though, so
make sure you keep an eye on the bar, while also targeting the enemy.
Obtained: The L23 Fareye is acquired during the first playthrough in Nottingham - "Conduits". After battling against your first
Titan, you will be rewarded with this trusty sniper rifle.
Tip: Fareye ammo is quite sparse, so make sure you don't waste shots. Use the secondary fire at all times so that missed opportunities don't happen
very often.
