The Dragunov SVD can be purchased after completing four Convoy Missions for the Weapon Shop. Enemies also wield this weapon.

The Dragunov is the weakest sniper rifle in the game, however, it also has the highest fire rate, largest magazine size, and is the most durable weapon (Compared to other sniper rifles). As with all other weapons, a headshot will still be a one-hit kill.

Being the least powerful sniper rifle in terms of firepower, the Dragunov is one of the most tactical weapons in-game. Manipulation of enemy AI is made relatively easy with this rifle. For example, a player can use this rifle to wound an enemy by shooting him in the leg, and rather than finishing the job, wait for the enemy to call for help. When a friend comes to the aid of the wounded mercenary, the player can easily finish the two of them off with a well-placed shot, or even wound both of them and use them as bait. The Dragunov is a very good rifle for wounding rather than killing outright; the M1903 requires more careful aiming and does not allow for quick sharpshooting and the AS50 usually kills with one shot anywhere on the upper body.

Due to its high fire rate, the Dragunov can be fired rapidly at close range for self-defense if you run into an unexpected enemy at close range. However, it is still recommended to use a submachine gun or light machinegun to deal with enemies at close range.
