You won’t be able to reliably beat sub machine guns and assault rifles at close range, and even in open combat at medium range. However, you still have to be ready for every engagement because assault rifles and sub machine guns will beat you in a fight where neither party is ready.Įven though the Ballista is a more aggressive rifle you have to remember it is a Sniper Rifle. It has the fastest handling characteristics in the class making it well suited for medium to long range engagements with a strong focus on the medium range. The Ballista is the third sniper rifle you unlock in Call of Duty Black Ops 2 at level 43.
