Description
SAINT Victor .308 from Payday 2

The AR-10 itself is a somewhat short-lived battle rifle designed by Eugene Stoner, who later downscaled it to create the AR-15, variations of which became the American assault rifles of choice for decades. The design itself still pops up occasionally with .308 platforms such as the M110 and SR-25, and the occasional civilian grade rifle. Both the AR-10 and AR-15 style rifles have a plethora of custom parts available, owing to the high modularity of the design.

Replaces the "Military Sniper Rifle" (model only)

Before being added to the game proper a few DLCs later, this rifle was exclusive to the new enemy type in Payday 2: the U.S. Marshals. The addition of the combo scopes also allows some of the older optics use their backup iron sights (BUIS, dubbed "piggyback sights" by the game), although at least one scope is bugged. The rifle available to the players has the Hera Arms front grip, which isn't used by the Marshals, but the M-LOK handguard is too thin for the animation I picked so I had to "fatten" it with some rail covers. Interestingly, both the rifle and the scope have red accents despite coming from different updates, so they fit together nicely. The reflex sight lens effect comes from Modern Warfare 3. Where's my MW3 remaster, Activision? Why did you remaster only half of the trilogy?

Yeah, the IMFDB guys say it's a 5,56/.223 version despite functioning like a 7,62/.308

I should research this weapon more carefully.

Fun fact: Despite being based on the AR-10 version of the SAINT Victor, the North Star is scaled to the proportions of an AR-15

And what I mean³ are those default walking animations, you know, the ones when you are walking/running.

Seeing the animation of this rifle, specifically, doesn't look like it was based on the MW animations, you did a really good job if you ask me :]

Thanks once again for all of your mods, much respect for you mate :steamthumbsup:

And what I mean is that I used animations inspired by Modern Warfare. But there is a nuance...

@Alex_D #NoWar I mean the Modern Warfare animations, I have no problem with them, personally I like them, I just don't like when everyone releasing guns use them as default as most people did for the past months.

Just saying it's nice to see a new great weapon like yours not use them, it's refreshing :P

Thanks a again for this, and all of your others mods dude o/

Depends on your definition of "MW" however...

Thanks a billion for this mate

To their credit, the TKB rifle is well-modeled for a gun that probably exists in the quantity of one.

Apparently, the rifle model itself is the Saint Victor .308 from Springfield.

Obscure model, sure, but hey it's less weird than the recent addition to Payday 2 (TKB, REALLY?)
