![]() One of the only places a Valve is useful is the Battle of D6 at sniping enemy troops - the powerful bullets will make short work of the armored Reds. ![]() If a player is looking to advance the levels stealthily, a silenced assault rifle will be much easier to use - it has more customization options for different situations, is able to use MGRs, and can be used at closer ranges more accurately, VSV is a fine example. It also lacks any sort of silencer, meaning any shot will alert enemies to your position, removing the advantage of range quickly. The tunnels of the Metro are very low and cramped, meaning it is difficult to find a decent place to snipe safely - more than likely, the enemies will easily find you and you will be forced to use a closer range weapon. Like the Preved - simply put, Last Light has very few places where sniping is possible, and none where stealth would not be preferable. However, its main appeal is also its major disadvantage. Its main function is obviously a sniper rifle - it can easily pick off enemies from afar with deadly accuracy, with enough time to take a few more down before they find you. In the hands of a skilled player the weapon can even be a very effective close quarters weapon, especially when equipped with a laser sight, muzzle brake, and iron sights. For Ranger Modes, the rounds can be seen in the back of the magazine, similar to a Bastard, though only up to a maximum of 5 in other words, extended magazines will only tell you when you are half empty or less. ![]() The Valve also carries more rounds in its magazine (5, or 10 with an extended magazine) and its ammunition, 7.62x54mmR rounds, are easier to find than the Preved's 12.7x108mm rounds Valve rounds can also be bought in exchanges (albeit for a high price), whereas Preved rounds cannot (This is fixed in Redux version). Although still slower than the semi-automatic Clapper, the Valve is just a little slower in ROF and more common than Clapper. The rate of fire (ROF) is much faster than Preved, especially if the Preved is not upgraded. The Valve can dispatch enemies with ease at mid to long ranges, even more so with attachments like a 4X optical scope. While not as high as the rare Preved, the Valve has a high damage output - enough to kill almost all unarmored enemies in one shot - it will stagger stronger enemies too, giving Artyom a chance to find cover or fire another round. It could have also been built recycling parts (notably the barrel) from old stored Mosin Nagant rifles, PK machinegun, and Dragunov sniper rifles as well. The Valve utilizes a straight-pull bolt charging system (the same as the real life Mondragón rifle). This weapon is accurate and deadly, but requires a moment in between each shot before another can be fired when Artyom pulls the bolt back.
