    Question about Specialization Weapon

    I just managed to finish the strongholds in the story line and got to the specializations, where I picked the 50 cal sniper rifle. Can I use it right away, and if so, how do I access it??? I tried to find out online but none of the vids I watched showed how it's accessed from out menu. Also, I just heard people don't like it (par for the course). Anybody know why? Is the special ammo hard to find?

    Hold switch weapon button down. On ps4 you hold triangle down to equip it. And yh the tac 50 is absolute garbage we only use that specialisation for the rest of the perks.

    In order to use the Spec. Weapon you need to click on the 4th weapon button. For example primary is no1, secondary no2, sidearm no3, spec. weapon no4. Also the reason why many don't like it is yes, the ammo is sometimes rare and doesn't drop that often, but also because the Nemesis is probably more powerful and more useful since it uses regular marksman ammo.

    I'm on Xbox, so basically hold the "Y" button down to get it to equip then? Thankfully it looks like we can go with all 3 specializations but only have one active at a time. Where does one get the Nemesis from?? Thanks for the reply.

    Thanks for the info. I didn't even try that last night and I guess I should have known. So let's say I pick another specialization, do the perks from the Tac50 one stay active while the survivalist (for example) is used?

    No only perks from which ever specialisation your using will be active

    Most people will say the TAC-50, aor any specialization weapon for that matter -- is underpowered until you get enough specialization points to max out the specialized weapon damage.

    Special ammo isn't too hard to come by, but it does tend to drop more when you don't need it and less when you do.

    I doubt I have even fired the TAC-50 since acquiring the nemesis. The sharpshooter specialization still has a lot of value though, with the headshot damage perks and the MMR damage perks and such.

    But I recommend anyone that wants to play as a sniper to make acquiring the nemesis a priority.
